I have a Roland MT-32 (older model with out the headphone output), and when I first go it, all I had was a USB Midi interface. I got it going in DOSBox no problem and thought it sounded pretty good.... Until I got my Gameport to Midi cable and plugged it into my retro machine, and of course the use of SoftMPU for games that need it.
I found that the MT-32 sounds better using the real retro system, and even actually proper sound effects at that. Day of the Tentacle is a good example. DOSBox the birds never chirp at the beginning, but on my Pentium system they do. Kings Quest VII is another example when you are in chapter 2, and see the trolls using their tools, their sound effects there sound more real.
So I'm wondering, if there is a setting I may have missed on DOSBox, or if this is just a limitation? I'm still new to the Roland world of Midi, but despite things not going 100% on DOSBox level, I still love the MT-32 on there and the actual Retro system. 😀
