Re: Monkey Island Intro on Dreamblaster X2

That is entirely correct. Monkey island was not designed for the General MIDI (GM) standard. In fact, it predates it by several years. Consequently, music meant for the MT-32 line of Linear Arithmetic (LA) synthesizers will not sound correct on GM hardware, barring any emulation modes. There are …

So a few things to begin. It would be best if you explicitly mention the model of the motherboard, model of the drive, and any other devices on that or other IDE cables. It could be as simple as position on the cable, like middle instead of end. It also could be cable orientation if the connector is …

The SC-D70 is an upgrade over the SC-88Pro. It basically gives the same samples but with digital output, which upgrades the quality a bit. I have had one for about 9 years now. In all the recordings I used the 8850 for, I used actually a D70 (except one or two patches which sound different like the …

Oh ok. Yeah, my queue is pretty massive too. I figured out it was you when researching the ISA lab cards in that Socket 7, leading me to a post you did on here.

Neat. Our first PC was a Packard Bell. Which thrift store? (I bought some things off of you locally...the P-II and the K6-2 towers) By the way, I remember you had what looked like a 56k modem on PCI-E. I realized afterwards that it is probably a Communications and Network Riser (CNR) card.

Thank you for the advice. I ended up meeting up with an eBay seller and acquired several things! A Yamaha MU-2000EX, a Roland SC-D70, and an unexpected CM-500 GM/GS. I was hoping for an FB-01, but the one that he has was rough, and it's really more of a curiosity than a necessity.

I think it's better than all SC modules except for the SC-8850. It has samples for, and can "emulate," the SC-55/mkII, SC-88, SC-88Pro, SC-8820. If I remember correctly, the internal mixing rate is higher than the SC-8850's 32khz for cleaner sound. And it has USB audio and SPDIF & toslink in/out. …

Have you tried googling for the manual and threads on pro-audio forums? Also, Japanese recycling and second hand stores should have tons of old professional audio equipment (just be prepared to Google type numbers a lot and be aware that Japan uses 100V current...) I have checked several places in …

Hello, everyone, I'm in Tokyo at the moment and I came across a Roland SC-D70 in my search for MIDI modules. (Sadly, the only one that I have been able to find.) Does anyone have experience using this module? Specifically, I'm wondering how it compares to the SC-55mkII (which I have) and the SC- …

I think that the only thing that you'd need to play around with is the OpenAL application. As long as the game is configured properly, it SHOULD work with surround sound. Make sure that your Audio Properties specify the correct number of speakers.

I have a CT1600 in a K6-III+ build, and I need to use SETMUL to slow the computer down before it works properly with test-sbp. I need to bring it down to 200MHz at least before it works properly. I think that I also need to disable the external cache, as well. To mitigate this, I use an Audigy 2ZS …

This has all of the hallmarks of a driver issue. I highly doubt that a 0.6% clock drift would cause this. Which version of Windows are you using?

Are you guys serious with the 8800 comments? Because I may have just bought a 8800GT a couple days ago... It comes with a Zalman VF1000 mounted by the previous owner, who said the card was a good fit for an HTPC. I suppose the subtext here is that it's quiet. I'll pair it with an amd64 3700+, it …

I would think a Voodoo 1 would be better for a Pentium 1 build. You need P2/P3 setup to feed SLI Voodoo 2. what are you referring too, power consumption or actually fully utilising the cards to their full potential? I would think a Voodoo 1 would be better for a Pentium 1 build. You need P2/P3 …
