A few people mailed me, requesting more X2 demos, especially demonstrating the presets.
So I uploaded some game MIDI tracks to soundcloud, played on DreamBlaster X2 : https://soundcloud.com/dreamblaster
Right now I uploaded these tracks :
1 DreamBlaster X2 SWOS TITLE TRACK
2 DreamBlaster X2 DUKENUKEM E2 14 PISSED
3 DreamBlaster X2 DUKENUKEM E1 08 AHGEEZ
4 DreamBlaster X2 DOOM E1M2

with both 'less is more' and 'doomtastic' presets.

Will upload some more recordings later.

What is YOUR favourite preset ? What do i need to tweak ?
The search for the ultimate, VOGONS' preset 🤣

This is very strange. E1M9 sounds like the drums are playing ahead of the rest of the track?

The instruments themselves sound alright for a default pack, but those drums kept throwing me off when trying to listen. The drums should not start until about 3 or 4 seconds into the song

hmm okay, I would assume this is due to the midi file i played, it may be incorrect.
Yours sounds different ? could you point me where i can download it ?

yes it should be the same song, its just looped several times.

Your new upload sounds a lot better and like it should, no more confusing beats 😁
It seems your source for DOOM MIDIs may have some bad ones
