@Edit: Here are 2 test applications that you can use to inspect how EFX/EAX and positional audio sounds on your available OpenAL devices. It can help to determine what is exactly used by your game.

... OK I think I am starting to understand. Basically there were earlier titles that used DS3D which require stuff like Alchemy under Vista...but if the game uses OpenAL directly then it should just work. I have a X-Fi Titanium so the acceleration should be there. I can select EAX in options in …

openAL is all software I'm pretty sure. I don't know how it wouldn't be. This is not true. OpenAL works similar to OpenGL. That is when you run the core OpenAL installer it installs a generic driver OpenAL32.dll. On Windows XP this driver can wrap around hardware accelerated Directsound3D so a …

OK, so I extracted files from DATA.DAT, but they aren't in MIDI format and I've tried searching up how to convert them to MIDI format, but to no avail. Most of the software only says it converts the BIN or UNK and XMI files to picture formats. XMI means Extended Midi. So it is a very similar format …

Hello Falcosoft. I have to say I enjoy your work you've put in for awhile now. But I was wondering since newly developed VST's are only VST3's and since 2018 They no longer Issue license to Developers to distribute VST2. I've Converted SEQ and VAB to MIDI and SF2 from various PS1 Games and I …

I think playlist times need a refresh when opening FSMP. I do not think so since playlist times are always calculated real time (they are not loaded back from storage). Sorry, I should have been clearer. The Time table in the Playlist is not recalculated after opening FSMP, maybe it would be a good …

Interesting, I didn't realize SCVA used the MkII sounds for it's 55 mode. Does it also have the increased polyphony of the MkII for the 55 mode? SC-VA has 64 voice polyphony independently from the selected mode (2 times the polyphony of SC-55 mkII). In this respect it is similar to SC-8820 that SC- …

Do I put the Sound Canvas VA in SC-88 (or even SC-88Pro) Mode, use the All button within SCVA and use Capitol Tone Fallback set to use the SC-55 Patch Names? Or is it best just to setup various loopMidi outputs for each of the SCVA modes linked to multiple instances of the Midi Player with the …

Yeah this might be a dead-end until win 3.1 source leaks like XP and some fans decide to add this functionality. What I found is: Turns out I was wrong, The Windows 3.1 SDK does in fact define WM_MBUTTONDOWN and WM_MBUTTONUP. No built-in applications use it, and very few other applications do …

It seems the MUNT VSTi bundled with the 32-bit version is actually 64-bit and won't load. Intentional? Scratch that, it's just be being stupid. However, this seems to be a valid concern: The x64 version and x86 version of the software seem to share all global options, so you can't configure them …

sfz is basically a new version of sf2, just a flat filesystem instead of a packed riff archive. Its one of the reasons I like it, because all you need to make an sfz is a pile of wave files and a text editor. LN This is not exactly the case. I think the biggest difference is SF2 was designed with …
