... With your MIDI player, is it essential to use the Custom Patch Names for the SC-VA in SC-55 mode, or can I just use the Built-In GM patch names? If you also want to use the software Capital Tone Fallback (CTF) feature of FSMP then Custom Patch Names -> SC-55 is the better option. SC-VA requires …

Perfect. I'm using the global proxy now. One last question boss, is there any functionality to record a clean WAV from the program like SAVIhost has? ATM it seems like I have to use Audacity for that, or just use SAVIHost for recording MIDI. No, currently you cannot record with the driver itself. …

Ah yes thank you for the explanation. It works perfectly. Great tool man, it's replaced the SAVIHost with LoopMIDI method I used. Is LoopMIDI redundant now? It depends on what you want. If you want to use the VST Midi driver global proxy (that is part of the latest version) then you still need …

Well I'm trying to use it with WMP and DOSBox but there's just been no audio output. I had that option selected. SC-VA just wasn't emitting any sound when I opened the dialogue with "Configure VSTi" and then the preview button in SC-VA emits no sound when pressed. It seems you misunderstood the …

Hi mate, I've installed your MIDI VST driver and I'm trying to use Roland Sound Canvas VA and replace SAVIHost + LoopMIDI but when I run your program SC-VA emits no sound. There is no such general problem with SC-VA so it must be a configuration related problem on your side. What Midi client do you …

the dreamblaster x16gs is missing the sc-55mkII specific instruments, according to the manual. Specifically, many of the ones on variation bank 1. which is strange, because it supports the insertion effects that the sc88 pro has. dunno if it supports tuning of drum sounds like the real sound canvas …

Yeah, it struggles on Pentium MMX 233 with my SBLive, last time I tried it. It was almost there in terms of performance. Then it's worth a try with MMX enabled. BTW I remember some flags in control register needs to be set to enable it - maybe that's already done by HDPMI. otherwise the CPU will …

It does not depend on what you use the emulator for (games/Midi files). With the current implementation FLOAT32 doubles dynamic range/sample resolution. More precisely in order to prevent clipping the INT16 output path halves sample resolution in the last step currently. It can be heard in case of …

- I incorporated Falcosoft's INT16/FLOAT32 code and played around with it. It might not be as clear cut as always using pageSize/pageNum:8192/2 for FLOAT32 - at least not on macOS and linux. Too high a pageSize will cause microscopic tempo stutters, for now something around 6144/3 seems to work …

Actually we all somewhat missed the fact that the biggest role of pageSize is how frequently the engine updates the Midi state. So actually higher pageSize values even if they increase the stability of audio output they adversely affect Midi precision and timing. The lowest the pageSize the better …

Just to make sure the problem is related to receiving Midi In data or not you can try to run the 4 demo song of the ROM continuously and notice if the stuck notes problem manifests itself or not. Yes, that's a good idea! Hard to do on the gui-less RPi4 though - I can try using the full graphical …

Do you have some instructions how to trigger this sticky notes problem in a reproducible way? Not at all I'm afraid. It happens like once every couple of minutes of continuous playback. Doesn't seem to coincide with anything else AFAIK. I've looked closely at CPU usage and I'm not seeing any …

As an unrelated side note - ever since I've started playing with this emulator, I've gotten sporadic (not very frequent) stuck notes. This happens when playing MIDI files from players both on the mac and Pi4, and also when using the Roland UM-ONE connected to a retro computer playing Doom, on both …
