I was often reading about the difference of the opl and the cqm FM chip that where on creative labs sound cards. I was lucky enough to have two cards that use each of them so I could appreciate the difference, I did some recording to make sure it was easy to swap between one and an other. I did try the adlib test program, sound blaster diagnose fm music, dune 2 intro and wolf3d. To make thing interesting I shuffled the name A / B to mask the name of the chip. I will later name the cards I used but one was noticeably noisier so I could jinx the game by naming them.
Why dont you try and identify if a music is from a cqm or opl fm chip ? I added a small template you can use at the end of this post so you have less to type:
adlib-test_A
adlib-test_B
diagnose_A
diagnose_B
dune2_A
dune2_B
wolf3d_A
wolf3d_B
template, write: cqm or opl
adlib-test_A :
adlib-test_B :
diagnose_A :
diagnose_B :
dune2_A :
dune2_B :
wolf3d_A :
wolf3d_B :
