Re: Best address choice for MT-32 Daughterboard combo.

Posted on 2006-06-20, 23:50

in DOS
I've had success with the Sierra MIDI Port Changer , found at QuestStudios. I've not figured out why, but GENMIDI.DRV is one of the few drivers that will not respond to an address specification in the RESOURCE.CFG. Soundblaster, Game Blaster, etc, have no problem with doing so (e.g. SNDBLAST.DRV 240 …

CT2720 w/ASP and YM2203. That is a very nice card, but as it is for the NEC PC9801, its beyond our use. Why include the YM2203, which I understand is a combination of the PSG capabilities of the AY-3-8910 (MSX/Spectrum) and FM capabilities of the YM-2612 (Sega Genesis)? The YM2203 provides …

Stay away from the 4.11 and 4.12, I have heard that these ones are buggy with the daughterboard. They tend to be the ones on a Sound Blaster 16 SCSI-2, which is what I have... (It came new in box with all the manuals and software and a soldered in ASP chip. A bargain at $50.) Hrm. I have 4.12 DSPs …

Great Hierophant wrote: CT1741 (DSP) Not to add complexity to the subject, but is there a preferred CT1741 DSP? Version 4.12 seems to be fairly common, but there are also earlier (4.0x) and later (4.13) versions. It's too bad the "best" SB16 isn't for the ISA bus... 😉

Did you happen to check the Windows 95 Device Manager? There may be a resource conflict that needs to be addressed. Edit: On second read, it looks like you did check the device manager. Still, double-check your resource settings for the card.

There are tons of Ensoniq things on there but Elite is very rare. There was an auction for a NIB Elite that ended a week-or-so ago for ~$10. I've managed to get two of them on other occasions, so keep an eye out - they do show up. If you're looking for a wavetable comparison, including an example …

The Midiman Multimixer 10 may be about the best thing ever designed for such purposes. They have been discontinued for some time now, but I was able to pick up another off of eBay for only $26. I decided not to use it though, instead opting for a setup similiar to 5u3's, where I utilize the mixer on …

Digital Audio from a Yamaha OPL2/3 chip

I posted this on the QuestStudios forum, but thought it might interest some of the VOGONS crowd as well. Well, this took me by surprise. Yesterday evening I was doing some comparisons between the SoundBlaster Pro 2 and Pro AudioStudio, and happened to load a game given me by my brother-in-law, …

Re: Sound cards - from best to worst

Not to keep tooting the horn of a dead soundcard-line, but I thought I would mention the Soundscape's excellent MIDI implementation. I posted the following on the QuestStudios forum a while back: Ensoniq was one of the few companies that included the partial implemention of the bi-directional …

The Ensoniq information is well-appreciated! I too was (am?) a fan of their products. I snapped a photo of the Soundscape DB, in case anyone is interested. There are actually two versions of the DB - an early version, containing the Soundscape's 2mb sample-set, and a revised version, featuring an " …

Re: I'm looking for CM-32L ROM

Hmm. I wonder if the PCM partials in the MT-32, et al, were taken directly from the D-50. If so, I can't imagine Roland ever freely allowing their use. Perhaps this has been previously asked, but if Roland were to receive enough petitions for an "official" emulator, would they create it?

Re: I'm looking for CM-32L ROM

These are also MT-32 compatible, in the off chance that someone may own one: CM-32LN LAPC-N E-10/20 PRO-E RA-50 I'm curious, but which ROMs are required to use the emulator - control, tone, or both? If it's simply the control ROMs, the modified Blue Ridge versions can be downloaded from the net.
