Get a professional band of virtuoso musicians + a skilled producer + high quality equipment. Have the band from a ring around you, in the middle of an acoustically perfect space. As you complete each level, the band moves on to the next track. Then, an outer ring of rednecks holding a variety of …

The 20+ held by some seems to be a lot. Y'know?! ;) I say that from my small home office, literally surrounded by several working setups of different eras and styles, various shelves full of components and tools, with multiple CRTs and more partial caseboxen distributed across different parts of the …

Forgive me if this thread already exists somewhere, but I can't see it. After completing a modest version of such a build last weekend, I thought there must be many of us doing this sort of thing, and it would be nice to see them gathered in one place. Obligatory crappy photo: MT32PI_AMPCASE.JPG I …

New SMB U. It's the first 2D Mario platformer I've ever spent serious time with. It's a cool experience, though I can see how Nintendo players might be bored with the system after endless 2D Mario iterations across the decades. I was a Sega and PC guy growing up, so going back and exploring all the …

Re: SC-55 & MIDI OUT

Posted on 2021-03-19, 00:06

MIDI THRU mirrors MIDI IN. MIDI OUT outputs data generated on the device itself - such as : when you have used the unit's physical buttons to edit a track. I believe some MIDI applications have a function called "Soft Thru" which can be activated in the software / via MIDI message, which will tell …

Growing up with arcade games and not much money, trained me from a young age to mentally accept not-completing-games as the norm. The luxury of kids having every-game-in-the-world, at home, with infinite credits to play with , is a privilege which began shortly after my childhood ended. :/ (not that …

Re: Should I buy a MT-32 'old' today?

Thank you for kind explanation! I will order the line mixer then! On a totally separate issue: how come when I turn my SC-55 Mk II on, its LCD display does not show the initial flash animation ? I remember that in one of LGR videos , I have seen that his clearly demonstrates this animation ( 'SC …

With Doom 3, Carmack was all about bringing the next generation of lighting improvements, to take the envisioned game's immersion to all-new levels not yet achieved anywhere else. An attitude seen many year earlier with Quake II. In both cases, he absolutely succeeded. Back at the time of original …

The Doom franchise is id software 's child, it's glory, it's king-stone. Except it isn't. Doom was specifically Carmack & Romero + the other OG id software guys of the time, and the 90's. It occurs to me that, in computer gaming, we often overlook how products are a direct result of the key …

I'm the opposite. Before I even start a game, I pull up a few different sites on the game (video and text walkthrus, player creation guides, maps, etc) and am not shy about referring to them as needed. For me, it makes games more enjoyable and less frustrating. But I'm old and have little time for …

Here's a ~$20 option. mysetup1.jpg Whether or not it works for you, depends upon your particular requirements/fussinesses. :) A slight tweak of the above would be: A serdaco DB15-to-DualMIDIOutputs adapter (another $20) on your soundcard's MIDI out. Then a separate MIDI cable can go to each (one to …
