Good luck for sure on all counts. I do have a SC-D70 that I'm unlikely to use again, one of the switching ones, and I can send it to you, if yours is dead.
Re: Which Sound Canvas Module to use for a MIDI Soundtrack?
Posted on 2024-03-21, 15:28
For DOS MIDI games, most will sound best with the SC-55 mode. Some rare cases will benefit from the SC-88 due to composition or polyphony. The 88Pro/8820 is only used in fan MIDI enhancements of VGM tracks, to my knowledge none were used in arranging MIDI scores for games (sometimes in digital …

Actually looking at those manual specs again, it's possible that the Japanese 100V units (or a subset) are a special use case - designed without switching power supplies. So the 117-120V units might be 'international' or export releases that are switching and functional 120-240V (presumably because …

Sorry to Study, if we were wrong I obviously offer sincerest apologies and it's not a good thing to offer unhelpful advice. That said - I personally have used a SC-D70 in the US and Australia, the same unit, no stepdowns. From the manual, this was interesting: Power Supply AC 120 V, AC 230 V or AC …

In VirtualMIDISynth, what devices show up under MIDI mapper?
Re: Mains voltage step-down converters.

I'm almost positive the SC-D70 is universal. Used it in Aus and US both with no conversion, just a different cable due to the plugs being different.
Re: EMU Proteus/1 support for Sierra games?

Out of all of those, I'll recommend specifically QFG3, QFG4, SQ5, LSL6 which are actually GM-composed games and edited fairly well. Thanks florian. Haven't listened yet but I will check it out!

Now, I'm curious to know how these exotic synths sound with Sierra titles. Maybe someone will do some recording in the future. If the patch maps existed and could be found, it would be possible ;) I'd like to hear them too. Although it's worth pointing out that all of these involve the original MT- …
Re: MT/CM pan questions
Posted on 2024-03-08, 06:50
Interesting, thanks for the explanation. So in reality there's only 8 positions, and they differ between the MT-32 and CM-32L. That simplifies things nicely.
MT/CM pan questions
Posted on 2024-03-05, 07:20
@Sergm or anyone else, Does anyone who knows the MT-32 or CM-32L in depth know how the pan function works? I've been researching LA synth panning for a while now, and it's very tricky and confusing. The CM-32L manual has this section about having 15 or 8 discrete pan positions. I can only get 8, I …

Do you mean when you play MIDI files in a player this is happening? Or something else?
Re: SPDIF output level
Posted on 2024-03-04, 13:48
Digital audio quite often can't be controlled in such a way as well, many outputs will always operate at full volume and the volume knob on the hardware or a mixer is required to attenuate it. Max power is the best audio signal, but obviously isn't always suitable. And digital volume level and …
Re: Roland SC55MK1 for Tie Fighter
Posted on 2024-03-03, 05:14
I mean, you answered it already.. if it was composed for mkII then a mkI will give dropouts. SC-88 is a different sound map and the 55 emulation is inaccurate.
Re: Performance Benefit of Using X-Fi Titanium HD on Core 2 Quad?

I would be shocked if there was any performance difference. Onboard sound isn't using RAM in a meaningful way, 16-64MB max probably.
Re: Roland MT-32 bad sound
Posted on 2024-03-03, 05:12
Are you using a polarity correct power plug? MT-32 plug is opposite of most devices. Otherwise, see what others have said. I don't think it's a MIDI cable, though.
Re: Roland SC-55 instruments sound different on different sound cards

Heh, good troll. 😉 I probably prefer QFG4 to SQ5 honestly, although I love both dearly. Also, just noticed you're a fellow Aussie! Where you from? I'm a SA boy living in Canberra these days.

Hahaha. Well, at least it was a simple fix!! Honestly I've been playing with PC sound and recording for 20 plus years and still run into such things. Glad you got it figured out!
Re: Roland SC-55 instruments sound different on different sound cards

Others have covered it already, but as far as what you're noticing, have you compared to a recording (YouTube or other) to see which (or if either) is correct?
