Sorry to say, but you are wrong. Here is the rather short list of All games that do NOT use custom instruments. All the other ones do (many hundreds). ... ... https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=48500 https://minirevver.weebly.com/mt-32-music.html I take some exception to that list. Just …

Since few MT-32 games/Midi files use only the default instrument set That's not my experience. Almost all games use the default instruments for music reproduction. Some will use custom instruments for sound effects. A very few will use a couple of custom instruments for music. The only game I can …

Sounds easy. Is that really only a different mapping of instruments? No traps like percussion is on different channel or alike? Could you provide the MT32 list, or point me at a resource where I could find it? MT-32 percussion is on channel 10 I think, same as General MIDI. Some googling found …

Would it be at all possible to get MT-32 instrument mappings in DOSMid such that when playing back MT-32 MIDI the program will show the correct instruments? I'm not even asking for autodetection of MT-32 MIDI (Which can be troublesome), but just a command-line argument that tells the program "Show …

In both cases, the actual executable is BWING.EXE The floppy BWING.EXE contains one reference to ROLAND.LFD, and several other occurrences of the string 'roland'. whereas the CD BWING.EXE does not include the string 'roland' anywhere.

Ah, good old X-Wing, and it's awesome soundtrack, dynamic music, and haphazardly broken MT-32 support There are two releases of this game of interest (That I know about): The original Floppy disk release: - Soundtrack was supposedly composed on an MT-32 - Blasts out SysEx at high-speed, crashing …

Delaysysex made no difference. This is during playback, not initialization, so I don't think this is a Sysex issue. I hunted down an older copy of the game, and it isn't helping much. The older version seems to screw up a bit less often than the newer version, but it is still screwing up. I'm …

https://www.dropbox.com/s/n08o4humzcax4hq/SAVE4.GAM?dl=0 Just hit next turn, and when the shooting starts move the fleet in and blow up the Klackon garrison ships. Don't shoot at the planet or you'll kill them all. That should reliably provoke the Angry Klackon music. For the GNN music, just blow up …

Probably the easiest way would be to get the game to play the angry Klackon music for a few minutes, and listen for any notes that sound incorrect or hang. Alternatively, listen to the GNN music for a few minutes, and see if all the chimes are playing or if some are missing. I can supply a savegame …

So I'm trying to record the music from Master of Orion, and I'm having some vexing troubles. Overall, this game works much like I remember it working. But certain pieces of music, seemingly semi-randomly, appear to miss or hang up on certain notes. The angry Klackon music is most notable so far. The …

Just put in a bid on a 2-port Roland USB MIDI interface... If the modern Roland interface can't work with the old Roland synth I just might throw in the towel!

Hello, I'm not certain if here or the MT-32 Emulation forum is more appropriate (I'm not emulating the sound module!) I'm on a core2 rig running Windows XP 64-bit, with no native MIDI interface on the board. I've got a cheapo USB MIDI adapter, and while it "works" my MT-32 is reporting checksum …

> robertmo Oh? I have vague memories of a tiny number of games that didn't run properly with the MT-32, despite claiming support. I remember buffer underruns beings part of the problems.... Interesting. I never knew why... And for the life of me, I can't recall which titles.

robertmo, Could you provide some details? I know absolutely nothing about the MT-32s cousins, besides the tiny bit I know about the LAPC-1.

I don't know if anyone here can answer this, I'd imagine only the person who wrote the win32-midi code could answer it without doing an inordinate amount of research. I see in dosbox.conf that there is a "config" statement, in addition to the "device" statement, in the [midi] block. I presume " …

Oh? I assumed the LAPC-1 would sound identical to the MT-32... I thought it was basically an MT-32 + MPU-401 interface on a card.... For my purposes the only differences would be the lack of a hardware power button (to reset the synth) and the lack of a hardware control interface to set the reverb …

Holy Shit! First off, let me take this opportunity to offer thanks to the programmers and maintainers of this awesome project! I spent much of my childhood playing PC games rendered on an actual MT-32 device.... As time moved on, the MT-32 was retired, and eventually buried in a storage area... I …
