Using my risperidone inspired memory - I think it was the D-214; I think I saw one once. I think there was a D21 keyboard. The D-10/D-20/D-110 are fine. They are more than a simple 128 instrument bank like the LAPC-1. Being an upgrade from that, they're fine.

This is good. Does anyone know what the rack unit equivalent of the D-20 keyboard was? It should be even better than the D-110.

The information on this game has been a little back and forth. It is a DOS game that has a "Roland Sound Canvas" mode, so it along with a game called "Constructor" are the most sophisticated DOS games, partially for that reason.

There is a Dreamblaster X2GS that appears targeted at gaming. The construction of the X3MB is so outlandish I don't know what I am looking at. I had another thought, the "FX" designation on the Turtle Beach Cancun FX, is that an effects generator like an LAPC-1 or a Gravis Ultrasound card? That may …

Now that I look at a Gravis Ultrasound online, the card looks primitive compared to a Soundblaster 16. Also, the game came out before the Soundblaster 16; that is one reason the Amiga version gets a listen.

Anybody know what the wolf howl in the East Woods Ruins sounds like in the Amiga version? There is not Gravis support but it looks like Gravis was a way to introduce Amigasound to the PC since it was argued that they copyrighted better clips. However, if it sounds like Taffy is being eaten on the …

I just mean CD music playback without an analog cable (internally) being used. They are selling Amiga 500 mini as retro gaming on Amazon.

The best thing I have found for Amiga is a Prisma Megamix Music Card, which has IDE like cables that attach to it. My best guess is - no. It had no such capability. After a few decades, I've examined the title screen for Below the Root in both Apple and C64 and the C64 has two different colors of …

The only manual for an AWE32 I've found online says it uses sf2 soundfonts. I'm wondering if sbk were prototypes that were never released? Anyway, the ambiguity of the color of the Steiner fist at the beginning of Battletech Crescent Hawk's Inception has made me think that DOS was never implemented …

In DOSBox -X 0.84.0, the game finally started working. The audio is slightly crisper. There is a way through. Put your money in bakphar until after the dream sequence is my suggestion. After that put your money in Nasdiv. You should be able to get to the 8th training mission. You may need to try …

What's important here is that ordinarily the standalone soundblasters were always better than the Dell "vibra" alternatives. But I don't think so with the soundblaster 16. These CQM chips I think were superior to the OPL3 and not just budget models.

With the latest DOSBox -X the intro movie no longer plays. that's fixed. Now I'm sure the floppy disk install problem is an error in DOSBox -X. The setup.exe once the game is installed is for the audio setup. A default of 5 IRQ for the soundblaster is not compatible with soundblaster 16. That is a …

About the awe32 mode - I just realized that's the sound canvas mode for most games. Using sound canvas soundfonts in General MIDI mode doesn't sound very good.

Could the watermarking with the free version of Power Director be causing the problem? I can spend the money to upgrade.

I got the video uploaded directly to Facebook. I was hoping to upload it to Youtube and cross post. I tried producing an mp4 cut with 24 fps instead of 30 fps. It did not do any good.

Well, I used MakeMKV and PowerDirector to make a cut from the BBC version of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. When I tried to upload I got a message that it is copyrighted material. Does that mean that as technology improves we will discover making cuts of movies doesn't work anymore? The software …
