Alright, that answers my question. Thank you.

Sorry, forgot to mention I'm running Windows 10. I've tried Roland SC-D70, Yamaha MU-2000, MUNT or Coolsoft Virtual MIDI.
coremidi option doesn't work
Posted on 2023-01-23, 21:04
Hi you lot, I've got a bit of a problem with setting up mididevice. I need to set up mididevice to coremidi, however, when I start the dosbox 74-3, it returns this error: MIDI: Can't find device:coremidi, finding default handler. I tried to change almost every other option to different values just …
Re: MIDI library of old DOS games?
Posted on 2020-07-03, 14:20
I just started putting up my MIDI archives. I add couple of soundtracks every day, but it takes a hell lot of time, so it's going rather slowly. You can check it out: https://www.karlsitretro.com/game_midi_dos_a/
Re: What MIDI sound modules do you enjoy listening to?
Posted on 2020-06-28, 15:03
Recently I grew very attached to the sound of Yamaha's XG-compatible modules (the whole MUxx line). Unfortunately I don't own any physical synths right now, but S-YXG50 fills the gap very successfully. I must agree, Yamaha's MU line is absolutely astonishing. Recently, I've done little review on …

Yeah, I'm going to buy any AWE64 I'll come across to save them all. Well, I’m desperately sorry, fellow Vogon, but you couldn’t save this one. 😉 Bought it from a seller in Hungary just for the eventuality this project sees the day of life. The only chances for survival of this card are option A, I …

And two more, Gabriel Knight and Space Quest 1. Sorry to tell, but these are bad choices to test MT-32 emulation of TG-300. Even Roland SC-55's MT-32 emulation sounds wrong with these games since they use custom instruments (uploaded by SySex messages at start) that only native LA synths (MT-32, CM …

Here you are. Monkey Island 2 and The Legend of Kyrandia. It's the TG100.
Re: Bought these (retro) hardware today

Technically not a purchase, but an exchange (with a fellow Vogoner and outside of the forum). So other rare parts had to go in the other direction. But this has a new home now: https://dependency-injection.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/DSC_7436-scaled.jpeg Never seen one with my own eyes. I'd love …
Re: Which sound module should I get next?
Posted on 2020-05-30, 17:32
I reckon the AKAI should sound sick. Also, check out Korg X5DR. Not the best sounding module, but it certainly sounds different.

Yeah, I'm going to buy any AWE64 I'll come across to save them all. That seems awfully spiteful, but you do you. Edit: That being said... While I think hoarding any retro hardware is selfish and spiteful, I agree with hard1k that I'd rather they were hoarded than bought up by scrappers. I wasn't …

Re: New sound card project: AWE64 Legacy

I consider an AWE64 a part of history and even though destroying some of them means it will help creating a better version, it still feels wrong and unnecessary.

Destroying original, never to be produced again, SB Awe 64 Value cards to build something so amateur and over-complicated, which offers so little improvement, if any, and it is not retro hardware anymore, over using 2 original retro sound cards in a true retro system, escapes my mind. There are …

I just received this. It's in a sorry state. But it was almost free, so I took it. I don't even know if it works.

AWE32 doesn't have the cleanest output, but it's certainly better, than SB Pro. If you care about FM synth, stick with AWE32. Most of the AWE32 versions allow you to put more RAM in it, if that's the one you've got, stick with it. AWE64 uses proprietary module, which is almost impossible to find. …
