Re: Looking for Aureal Vortex ARL Soundbank Editors

I didn't realize until now that the "Aureal MIDI Patchset Editor Update" from A3d Fans Site works. I never tried it because I thought it needed the full setup package, which I can't download. About 95% of the program works in a WinXP VM. I think some of the parts that don't work require a Vortex 1 …

The driver I'm using for the sound card in Vmware Workstation 16 is a VXD driver, which explains why I haven't ran into any problems. Now what I'm trying to figure out is how to convert the Ensoniq WaveCube instruments located in the mddb folder to GUS patches or SF2. The database file MDTB.MDS …

Bondi, the disk you posted is still WaveCUBE version 4.0 like the one I found on archive.org, although the setup files are slightly older based on file dates. It works in a Win98 VM. I just ignore the part where it says it can't find an SB16, because my VM is using the Ensoniq AudioPCI. There is a …

The drivers from my Ensoniq 1373 also work under Win98SE in Vmware Workstation 16. What I noticed is that when I play a midi file with mplayer2, the Wave indicator lights up in the AudioPCI mixer. But if I play a midi file with tmidi, the Synth indicator shows activity. The spatial button wide …

I also remember that Audigy and X-Fi have CMSS but I don't have the sound cards installed currently, so I can't remember how the wide stereo is presented.

For Win9x, the Philips Acoustic Edge supports QXpander. Some of the YMF7x4 supported wide stereo. For WinXP, CMI8768 cards support Xear 3d. Asus used to make sound cards with Dolby Virtual Speaker technology, but I can't remember if those sound cards supported WinXP. I'm a big fan of wide stereo …

If you have disabled your parallel port, I suggest you re-enable it. The sb16 emulation can share the resources with the parallel port.
