Re: Doom: General MIDI VS Sound Canvas

Posted on 2013-05-06, 00:17

in DOS
From a quick listening I can't make out any differences at all. Anyway, I've noticed that Grabbag uses the Power drum kit. Additional drum kits were a feature of GS... that fits with my experience with the Yamaha where the default TG300B/GS mode plays stronger drums for that track than the GM mode …

Do you know what the extra 37 tones of the MkII actually were? I always keep reading "Yeah, some games used these+the extra polyphony" but no one mentions actual games which are supposed to do so.

I don't have that module. From a recent thread I learned that there were different hardware revisions of that unit though. SC-55s without the GM logo mistreat the GM reset as a GS reset.

If what you say is true then the game would send different MIDI data depending on which mode is selected in the options. When I have some time I'm going to investigate this further... On a related note, I wonder why Roland included a seperate GM mode in its devices when GS is "supposed" to be 100% …

Well I did bring this up in another topic a few months ago... My main concern were games where you get to choose between Sound Canvas and GM though. The OP thought that SC would imply GS usage, which isn't true for all the games I played so far. The thing to check for here would be the use of tones …

Re: General MIDI: fidelity or quality?

Posted on 2013-05-04, 09:06

Well it's perhaps undisputed that modern soundfonts can have higher quality samples than the devices from back then, which were stuck with 2-8 MB ROMs. The problem is really in the balance of volume and "obtrusiveness" of the individual instruments. I'm sure that with every soundfont you will find …

I also don't know where the Watts crazyness comes from. Extreme overclocking of both CPU and GPU and/or multi GPU setups. That's really about it though. Considering the amount of such 500W+ PSUs sold vs. the tiny fraction of these use cases you have to acknowledge the effects of marketing and word …

Re: Nvidia's framerate limiter

I think it would be pretty cool to have an old card in another PCIe slot and then be able to switch to it depending on the game 😁 but everyone is only about SLI/Crossfire, dedicated PhysX cards etc 🙄

Thanks for noticing that. It's great nvidia finally made it available (actually over a year ago). I already wrote somewhere about problems with many games making card extremely noisy when entering game's menu as they don't have any limiter for menus. vsync making menus 60fps was still making card …
