You can convert it with Awave Studio. Not sure if it's allowed but here is a direct conversion: https://ufile.io/a1t95. Make sure you edit the paths in the ini to be correct.

Awave Studio sure does alot doesn't it? Though this "direct conversion" seems a bit rough, I know the patches have actual filenames (because OpenMPT figures that stuff out somehow) but this conversion doesn't seem to preserve that information whatsoever?

The .ini it made also seems very disorganized too.

Though I do appreciate this very much, thanks!

In Awave I see instrument names, but I wonder if that data is dropped so that it generates DOS 8.3 compatible file names. It probably needs a lot of tweaking but my retro rig is in storage at the moment so I can't try it out on hardware. I wonder how it sounds. Can you do a recording perhaps?

Hi, sorry for bumping an old thread, but the link here is dead, does anyone have a copy of the file?

Edit: Here is a version based on GM.DLS, for the earlier one I used GS.DLS that comes with QuickTime. I used the first 127 instruments and the standard drum kit, the rest has been omitted. Based on the original ULTRAMID.INI.
You need to add BLANK.PAT from the original set.

I don't have that project anymore as that conversion wasn't optimized. I will try to do a better one soon.

Nice, thank you!

I am curious how it sounds on a GUS. Could someone please post a recording of a popular MIDI track ?

I hate the sound of the Windows GS softsynth. A real Sound Canvas (physical and likely the recent Roland virtual ones too), sounds great to my ears .

Perhaps I have time this weekend. To be honest I haven't tried this conversion yet myself.

I tried it on hardware but I hear some crackles/distortion and weird sounding loops here and there. Overall it sounds pretty sweet. Can't find my PCM recorder though.
