I posted this on the QuestStudios forum, but thought it might interest some of the VOGONS crowd as well. Well, this took me by surprise. Yesterday evening I was doing some comparisons between the SoundBlaster Pro 2 and Pro AudioStudio, and happened to load a game given me by my brother-in-law, …

I found an IBM 5161 Expansion Chassis for you... http://www.vintage-computer.com/ibm_pc.shtml Look at the May 14, 2005 post. I sent an e-mail to Adam, who replied that it is still available.

Not to keep tooting the horn of a dead soundcard-line, but I thought I would mention the Soundscape's excellent MIDI implementation. I posted the following on the QuestStudios forum a while back: Ensoniq was one of the few companies that included the partial implemention of the bi-directional …

The Ensoniq information is well-appreciated! I too was (am?) a fan of their products. I snapped a photo of the Soundscape DB, in case anyone is interested. There are actually two versions of the DB - an early version, containing the Soundscape's 2mb sample-set, and a revised version, featuring an " …

Hmm. I wonder if the PCM partials in the MT-32, et al, were taken directly from the D-50. If so, I can't imagine Roland ever freely allowing their use. Perhaps this has been previously asked, but if Roland were to receive enough petitions for an "official" emulator, would they create it?

These are also MT-32 compatible, in the off chance that someone may own one: CM-32LN LAPC-N E-10/20 PRO-E RA-50 I'm curious, but which ROMs are required to use the emulator - control, tone, or both? If it's simply the control ROMs, the modified Blue Ridge versions can be downloaded from the net.

The PG-10 can be used to edit the MT-32. I've read that the PG-1000 can as well, but have no experience with doing so.

"MT-32 to General MIDI This file contains a self-extracting archive that will rewrite the sounds of an MT-32 compatible device to the General MIDI sound arrangement. This file is compatible with the Roland MT-32, D-5, D-10, D-110, D-20, CM-32L, CM-64, LAPC-1 and other MT-32 compatible devices. This …

I thought as much, the question is where to get replacement drivers. I can't simply copy the file from a later Sierra SCI-0 game into the earlier SCI-0 game becuase the drivers contain the custom sounds for each game. Yes, you can use the driver from another SCI0 game. The custom sounds for each …

Great Hierophant, Your issue with the earlier Sierra games is not a fault of the CM-500, but rather the MT-32 driver used for these games. You will need to use one of the later mt32.drv files, which included support for the MT-32 AND variants. An easy way to tell the correct driver is to edit the …
