Lo everyone,
I am using an X-fi fatality soundcard with the external bay and i love this soundcard. It's been one of the last cards to have true midi capabilities.
Recently i was trying to get as close as possible to an mt32 or CM32L as possible for my old adventure games.
Munt seems to be one of the best and hearing the comparisons on youtube made me decide it was time to try it out.
So i downloaded the latest version Munt 1.2.0 (but the "about" section labels it as 1.0.2 ??) and i searched for the control roms.
I found 4 files namely :
CM32L_CONTROL.ROM SHA-1 A439FBB390DA38CADA95A7CBB1D6CA199CD66EF8
CM32L_PCM.ROM SHA-1 289CC298AD532B702461BFC738009D9EBE8025EA
MT32_CONTROL.ROM SHA-1 B083518FFFB7F66B03C23B7EB4F868E62DC5A987
MT32_PCM.ROM SHA-1 F6B1EEBC4B2D200EC6D3D21D51325D5B48C60252
When loaded into Munt it seems to work ok, i've set the MT-32 Synth Emulator as the default device.
I noticed the program Munt itself needs to stay active for the emulation to work (or so i think) ?
Ok when i try to play Monkey Island 2 trough scummvm i set the audio device to the MT32-Synth.
When the game starts i hear the audio is indeed different but it sounds totally different than the comparisons i saw here on the board. The bells aren't bells the sample sounds aren't even close. It all sounds very ... Microsoft GS Wavetable synth like but then even worse than that.
Do i still need something of soundfonts or anything extra but the Roland MT32 roms ?
The roms aren't that big its only 64KB each (control rom) and 1024KB for the CM32L_PCM.ROM and 512KB for the MT32.ROM
All my other midi devices work correctly.
