I second that. Firstly, there are so many games provable not composed exclusively on the SC-55, for example Betrayal at Krondor, Settlers 2, Star Trail, Lemmings 3D, Warcraft 2 a who knows how many more. The composers usually use combination of various different synths. The idea of all prominent …

Yes, pop family instruments like drums, guitars or saxes are the strong point of Roland/Yamaha. They sound definitely stronger and with more punch on Roland/Yamaha in Doom example and similar (But the WB sax strangeness in Sam&Max is due to used modulation, as adding artificial vibrato to an …

madcrow: I know, I mentioned only the official CL/E-mu soundfonts for the Sound Blaster. valnar: That's a great idea. I will consult it with some other WB users who also know the WB/Proteus history and we will work some more balanced text out. megatron-uk: Really? I wonder on basis of which tracks. …

Hail to rfnagel! :) AWM Summit - 10 'Almost' Kurzweil K2000 engine shipped with legendary orchestral ROM block. Do I need to say anything more? Comparing it to Roland SC - it's just another league. These are the sounds used on prominent TV, studio, film music tracks. Some of its sounds are …

Hi wocko1, it's more complicated - if you want the mainstream, yet a slightly boring and synthy sound - then go for a Roland Sound Canvas. It has a big advantage - most games will sound decent and relatively balanced with it. Even purely orchestral, even strange pop/rock style sountracks will sound …

Wow, thank you so much, dvwjr! It's very kind of you. I really appreciate such great, helpful people. I've always wanted to know how these music files exactly sound on the SC-88, what a perfect material, very helpful, thanks again very much!

Hello, wouldn't be some Roland SC-88 (not PRO) user so kind and couldn't please record few xmi files below? (Or at least some of them..) I'm very curious how they sound on the SC-88 in the native SC88 mode (not the SC-55 map). Thanks! http://sites.google.com/site/waveblastergm/S20.XMI http://sites. …

And you have the WB2? That's great! I would like to hear it in the action :happy: . You know... allready the name "Wave Blaster" gives me the chills :blush: So I still hope that something with that name can't sound bad, even with "2" at the end :happyhappy:. What about those GS additional WB2 …

OK. I was refering to: " I believe elianda's question was whether or not the EMU8000 can emulate the Wave Blaster, if supplied with a "Wave Blaster" SoundFont - implying use of Proteus waveforms, the Wave Blaster's GM patch-configuration data, etc. I'm not aware of a Wave Blaster SoundFont, but …

Cloudschatze: I don't want to disprove you anything :). But I still think it's not correct. I'll try to explain as simple as possible. This is how the MT32 emulation works on WB1 (supposing that technically it will be similar on WB2): WB has approx. 300 stored basic instrument samples and waveforms. …

OK, I expressed it roughly. The DSP surely can alter the sound, but it has nothing to do with the basic sound itself. The Dream is fairly modified Roland set. I'm not saying they must sound exactly the same. The important is that the Dream has a Roland licensed soundset - but the E-mu Proteus sounds …

elianda: Absolutely not. DSP is DSP, it has not much to do with the sound itself. It's just a technical solution, no more, no less. I think Cloudschatze talks about WB2 and AWE, that they sound almost identical. The most important is the soundset. WB2 and AWE have similar soundset, as well as AWE-64 …

Kreshna Aryaguna Nurzaman: In many, for example - Dark Forces, Shannara, Azrael's Tear, Lands of Lore, Warcraft 1, Al-Qadim, Betrayal at Krondor.. But as elianda said, don't confuse it with WB2 or AWE. Here are two WB1 Descent2 tracks - intro and credits: http://sites.google.com/site/waveblastergm/ …

rfnagel, Thanks! :happy: I'm glad you like my site. Btw. nice computer photos :happy:. It's great to see the other WB user with good ear, who is able to hear all the great sound details and qualities of Wave Blaster that other GM cards so lack. You wrote it perfectly thrutfully. But imagine that …

ratix: Yes, I think his name was Dwayne and he was failed furniture designer or st. of that kind :happyhappy: I also love this music theme. It's my favorite from both DOTT and Sam & Max. Also the Trixie's theme from S&M is great, with that sad sax melody. :shocked: Roland wins? I can't help myself, …

Hello, as an answer to constant Wave Blaster bashing on the Vogons forum, I've decided to set up a simple page with sound samples of Wave Blaster 1 playing various MIDI game tunes. Especially this thread http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=17792 is totally misleading and inaccurate. The info in it …
