I though ScummVM already included MT32?

IT WORKS with ScummVM, using MUNT built in with the drivers. That's MUNT, so it should work with the driver too for MIDIs in Winamp. but it produces that.

Doesn't ScummVM use a considerably newer version of the emulator?

is it MEANT to sound like the example in my first post? 🙄

This sounds like the problem I'm currently having. I'm relatively new to the DOSBOX scene, and I installed 0.65, along with MT32_CONTROL.ROM and the other file (I can't remember its name now), and am running DOSBOX and Scumm. While the MT-32 emulation is sound (pardon the pun), the instrumentation is incorrect. For example, when I run Future Wars, I remember, from back when I actually had an MT-32, that the opening music is supposed to be strings, deep bass and cellos. But through DOSBOX, I get piano instrumentation instead. Same thing with Silpheed and Flashback. It seems to me to be a font or bank issue, because I remember when playing these games, the front panel would indicate that sounds were being "uploaded" into the MT-32 for each game. Any ideas?

It sounds like you do not have your MIDI control set up correctly. In the Windows Multimedia control panel, you need to set your preferred MIDI device to the MT-32, or it will play back to whatever your sound card's default MIDI synth is.

I'm using ScummVM to (try to) play Loom on my computer. The game works fine, but the sound doesn't. I've tried every possible combination of sound settings within ScummVM. Could it be that I need to download something else to get it to work?

If you want to play Loom with MT-32 sound you need to have
1. the PC floppy version (EGA 16 colors)
2. the MT-32 patch for that version
If you don't have the patch the game only supports Adlib (and PC speaker)
The CD-ROM version of course only have digital sound & music.
I forgot where I found the patch, but it is probably available on some LucasArts fan site.
