Ah! I'm confusing CM-32L with CM-32P as I always do. Thanks 😀 - Spike

It's still roughly the 'MT-32 on a card'. That is accepted fact. (Besides, the LAPC-1 has NO CM GM tones apart from a few SFX!) And it certainly doesn't change the fact that the MT-32 is not a sound card.. - Spike

Have speedset.exe and other relevant DLL's etc in your game folder, make a batch file in the same folder (in Notepad for example), put the text 'speedset '. Run the batch file with VDM Sound. - Spike

The 'MT-32' was a sound module, not a card. Thanks (in part) to Ken Williams a sound card version of the MT-32 (the LAPC-I) was created. - Spike

Wicked stuff. I'll be sure to pass the good word around now, CC. Thanks for your helpful responses. - Alistair

What's the 'correct MT-32 SysEx interpretation'? How can it recieve all patches and assign them all correctly? This is the big conundrum that leaves scepticism in the major players in the Sierra music community, if you could give me a bit more to go on than 'she'll be right' I would be relieved. :) …

Reply was slow! Still, I'll take what I can get.. So, CC, regardless of what MT-32 game I play, the emulator can handle all the custom instruments? - Alistair

Hey Canadacow/et al., Alistair of Sierra Music Central here. It's been a while since I visited these parts (my loss!) and am wondering if a Sierra track, whether SQ3 or otherwise, could be uploaded- that is played back with the MT-32 emu. Also, what's the status? I'm often asked by people about this …

What's happening now, that you've replied to the letter? By the way, since when is there a trumpet in the SQ3 intro? - Spike

There's no point in basing the emulation of the MT-32 device on songs/ games it was never designed to be played with. - Alistair

SQ3 (sometimes Sq4 and Sq5) Noooo! Space Quest V is a great example of a game you DON'T play with the MT-32. In the SysEx sending it just sends some dodgy General MIDI patch bank to conform the MT-32, as the soundtrack's designed for the SC-55. I absolutely hate 'CS TRUMP', 'CS HARP' et al. - …

Separate things: GK1DOS = too slow in XP with VDMS. Windows games (haven't yet tried GK1WIN) = too fast as in Windows the processor ticks over so efficiently the music goes too fast. - Alistair
Re: SCI0 problems
Posted on 2003-08-23, 10:59
Sorry for the late reply- school, et al. Nicht: GK1DOS, yeah. And Windows versions really do play the music too fast (for any processor over 1 GHz). Vlad: Explain this MIDI recording deal. :) SCI0 games, yeah, I can extract MIDI's. So not a worry. I have no idea how to extract MIDI/Sound resources …
Re: SCI0 problems
Posted on 2003-07-30, 06:01
Well Nicht, I'm interested in recording music from the games, so speed is important.. Windows versions actually play music too fast because of modern processor speeds. Gabriel Knight 1 is another one that really bugs me with slow music. But thanks for the suggestion, I've really got to boot up …

Just listened to it.. Certainly an improvement, now actually almost, almost sounds like the game's rendition. Keep it up. 😀 Obviously you still have a way to go. I wish you luck, keep us informed. - Alistair

I'm probably mistaken, because I know about MIDI, not the hardware stuff. But I remember that when I hold the master volume and sound group buttons together, it says 'Master Tune: 442.0Hz'. Don't mind me, I'm way outta my league here. 😀 - Alistair
Re: SCI0 problems

My bad, KQ6 runs fine. QFG4 is still a worry, though. And of course the SCI0 games that run fine for a few seconds, then begin to lag, then skip to catch up with where the song should be.. - Alistair
Re: Major snag
Posted on 2003-07-24, 14:33
Actually, it seems the MT-32 's default tuning is 44200 Hz. - Alistair
Re: Major snag
Posted on 2003-07-22, 07:45
In playing Sierra games I found that generally the MT-32 uses a 44000 Hz frequency.. - Alistair

I know, I know. I'm saying crappy as compared to the MT-32's. Why can't you use the MT-32's anyway? - Alistair
