Th problem is Patch93's SC-55 soundfont contains only the so called capital tones (meaning no variation tones, only bank 0 is implemented). So it's not GS compatible at all, it can only be used by titles using only GM instruments. Thanks for the clarification! Am I correct in assuming that if you …

Managed to get it converted and noticed quite a few issues during the dune 2 intro, where the sounds are just wrong compared to a SC-88Pro From what I understand, the SC-88 doesn't quite sound the same as a SC-55. It does have a SC-55 mode, but even so, some minor differences remain. Granted, it …

EDIT: Small bug report for version 5.7 (32bit): When playing a file, using a VSTi (specifically S-YXG50 in this particular tested case), going to device setup menu and repeatedly (rather quickly) untincking/ticking the "Use BASS" checkbox at least 3 times results in a memory protection fault ( …

I uploaded the entire archive, it's live now at https://archive.org/details/falcosoft-midi-player I packed all of them into yet another archive to contain them all, in hindsight i'm not sure if it's better this way or to upload the all files individually (might change it with the next update, …

@Zoltan Thanks for very swift reply! 1. As for the archiving, i'm glad you kept all these old releases - If you wish to make them available for me (and others) to dowload i think you could put them onto, say, Google Drive (or different cloud drive if you use something else), either as a folder or a …

Hello Zoltan I've been using your program for well over a year already, mostly for general playback of XG and GS MIDI music outside of games, and it quickly earned my approval. At this point, after all the improvements and feature implementations it's gone through over time i don't think there's …
Re: Voodoo Banshee and 3DNow!
Posted on 2020-06-16, 09:14
AFAIK 3dfx don't have true OpenGL ICD. What they call "ICD" is just a sophisticated GL-to-Glide wrapper, which works with everything, unlike MiniGL. You are right in that 3dfxOGL.dll depends on glide3x.dll and uses many exports of glide3 library. But many OpenGL functions implemented in 3dfxOGL.dll …
Re: Gravis Ultrasound - No MIDI synth playback in Win98
Posted on 2020-06-16, 06:24
Don't bother with Windows Media Player, it uses DirectX to play MIDI files and will not load patches for the GUS (the Gravis Win9x drivers are not 100% DirectX compatible). Instead, look for MPLAYER.EXE in the \WINDOWS folder; that's Media Player from Windows 3.1, updated to work in Windows 98. …

I'm sorry for the OT post, but is there an application like BIEW that works in Windows or DOS? I've been looking for something like this that will actually show the instructions being used, but I'm not that familiar with code or programming. I'd prefer a modern Windows application but I'd settle …

I know that Voodoo 3 drivers have 3DNow optimizations.. But do Voodoo Banshee drivers have these also? I'm just asking because my K6-2/500 with a Voodoo Banshee performs pretty lacklustre compared to a Pentium II 333 with a Riva 128 in GLQuake, so I was scratching my head.. I have just checked and …

Re: Apparently not all GS-only sc-55s are the same, some are GM
Posted on 2020-06-10, 17:24
Are you sure that's not just a bug in the SC-55? There are only 5 channels playing and I can't quite believe these would utilize all 24 or even 28 voices. Of course it can be considered as a "bug" of the default voice reserve algorithm. But it's not a bug in the sense that it can be cured by …

I don't think the polyphony makes any difference for games. They knew that the original SC-55 was limited to 24 voices, so pretty much all composers took care of not using too many voices. Actually there are games where even the 28 voice polyphony of MKII is not enough and can cause problems. It's …

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 …

Thanks for your report. Yes, it's a really sad move from Roland. Nevertheless the trial …
