Not bad. Roland doesn't screw around, if I ever find a grand on the street, I'll pick up a MIDI controller and synth machine from them.

I can dream....

The SC-55 is only like 100$ on ebay, it is a must have for any DOS retro gamer or MIDI lover as it is THE synth everyone composed on and tried to copy or steal its sounds.
Even Microsoft midi synth everyone familiar with is a low quality version of the SC-55 samples.

If there is interest I can record the Yamaha SW-20PC, it has a 2mbyte OPL4 synth

Recorded under MS-DOS with the SuperSAPI OPL3 driver on the Audician 32 Plus (YMF718)

How do you set up playback with the SuperSAPI driver loaded?

sound blaster audigy. server 2000
Not the best recording.

Sounds like I am being hit in the head by the drums.

I downloaded the MS-DOS SuperSAPI OPL3 FM driver from the bottom of this post on the SOUNDSHOCK Forums Voyetra Super Sapi OPL3 driver / Palette files with Video

You run initdrv.bat and then use the included midplay.exe to play a MIDI file.

Thanks a lot Strech! 😀

OK, I played around with my soundcard`s settings. I think I got it all fixed. Audigys are abit different then some cards
Even enabled reverb and all the other cool settings.

No reverb sounds best. The first one was like having a gunshot for drums, and the reverb one is just like having a gunshot for EVERY sound.

No reverb one sounds pretty good tho.

Yeah I have to play with the reverb. Audigy have alot of reverb settings if you funnel midi output thought EAX.

on my end the reverb copy sounds alot better, but my setup is not normal for most.

OK, Now I gone over kill with the sound settings for my Audigy.
I was trying to get rid of the punchy dums and whatnot and found some setting I did not know excited, yeah careful with these files if you have headphones. The passport overkill.mp3 can make you loopy.

EDIT:
These aren't mixed recording. its straight up midi play back form a Audigy, Although its ran though EAX.

That's a remix of Passport.mid? Doesn't follow the same notes. The drums sound a bit heavy on that one too.

No. It's just playing the file, default config.

Wrong file then. The chorus starts way too late, and some notes are missing/changed

Some sound cards instrument libs/sound fonts can do odd things to files. It does sound abit odd.

One recording with the OPL3 chip on my Sound Galaxy and the other with the wave synthesizer it has.
