No problem, a quick fix is a good fix, but you seem to know your stuff! Good luck with it 😀

I have legitimately thought the same thing as the OP, only to listen and the sound was messed up. I have moved back and forth between the US and Australia several times, having moments where I have repurposed household adapters to use for an evening, some times working fine, some not so well 😀

Just wanted to quickly reply and say thanks for posting. Being somewhat knowledgeable about Roland's different PCM synths, this was really interesting 😀 I am curious if the SC-55mkII patches sound the same, and curious how they sound with different reverb/chorus also.

Is the sound still working correctly? I've had weird contrasts on the LCD when I had an unsuitable power supply attached, or when I had a correct power supply with the polarity reversed.
Re: CM-32L extra sfx on MT-32 possible ?
Posted on 2019-06-19, 05:22
They require PCM, which is not existent on the MT-32. However if you use the software MUNT, you can use it as a MT-32, or CM-32L.

TIM2 and 3 had both I believe, defaulted to CD audio unless it wasn't present or the capabilities weren't there, then you got MIDI. Interesting re BAK. When you say 2 of the 3 encounter themes, do you mean CD audio? If you're talking MIDI, there is no complete rip or recording, only a few themes …
Re: Testing of a RWI Modified MT-32.

I received this in an email about 3 years ago: "I have to concentrate on Devil Fish work for the foreseeable future. If at some stage I do MT-32 mods, I will let you know." Haven't heard from him since. I bought an extremely rare D-110 with mods by RWI which I haven't had a chance to listen to, even …
Re: SC-55 MKII or Regular?
Posted on 2019-03-21, 09:00
The important feature in my opinion is the extra 4 note polyphony of the mkII, which yields better results in later GM games such as Gabriel Knight, or Quest for Glory IV. And IIRC, the DAC might be 18-bit vs 16-bit. But it's not life or death stuff. https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=56988&p= …

This is a lazy reply, but use digital audio instead of MIDI. I have never played TIM games with MIDI, only CD audio, so I'm not sure of the issue you're having. Is it MIDI not playing while sound effects do play, or is it a conflict which causes lockups, digital sound not to play, etc?

Well, I installed 0.74-2, and tried it, seems to solve the issues. Thanks 😀

Hey folks, I am trying to get DR running on my brand new HP Omen laptop, but it is running awfully, both sound and depending on settings, game speed being too fast or slow. I ma running the DOSBox-X branch. The only unique feature I use, other than code optimizations I guess, is the xbrz filter. I …
Re: Remapping sounds on Roland Sound Canvas?
Posted on 2019-01-03, 02:32
Some instruments will work, like default MT-32 instruments, which SQ3 mostly uses. What won't work is: - Sound effects- SQ3's MT-32 custom patches are mostly really unique LA synth based SFX. Try and find a GM substitute for "VaporizerMS"! - Patches with low velocity- it has been a long while since …

Thanks for all the work, Codeholio! This is my new version of DOSBox to use. Loving that xbrz scaler :) I have a feature request, if you'll allow it- (optional) faux stereo sound for Adlib mono soundtracks. See my older post for details (https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=49831), but …

PQ2 or Laura Bow 1, both struggle with the parser interface IMO, and all the rest actually do quite well with it. PQ2 needs updates beyond the parser change, though. Iceman would be the next, but only if it had gameplay changes and tweaks on top of the P/C interface. Larry 3, SQ3 and Camelot are all …

I think I actually chose to play the game in Windows, now that I have thought about it. Not sure I was able to get it working in DOS without the IRQ issue.
Re: Quest For Glory 4 - Igor Hitting Tomb Stone Sound Effect Help
Posted on 2018-12-23, 07:24
Most of what you have mentioned doesn't relate, but I believe it is an IRQ conflict. I had this about 15 years ago when I last played QFG4 on original hardware. Almost no Sierra games have this issue, but QFG4 conflicted with digital sound and the SC-55 (I was using a SB AWE32 for digital audio). I …
Re: Are There Any Source Ports for Doom/Doom 2 + Expansions That Support External MIDI Devices?

It's pretty close, but it isn't the same, as NRS says. Also, "Strings" (patch 48) that he mentions is used widely In soundtracks, one of the most common patches.

Sierra demo tape and EASE both can be found on QuestStudios, hopefully both still findable in the new host version of the page.

The game is intended to use a SC-55 in GM or GS mode, possibly a SC-55mkII due to polyphony requirements. What MIDi setting are you using in the install program/resource.cfg config file?
Re: MT32 sending signal through Left(mono channel) and fx through right channel.
Posted on 2018-11-29, 14:50
I mean, the only possibilities are the right output on your MT-32 is busted (could check by plugging into something else), or the input on your mixer is busted. I highly doubt the FX is outputted on one channel, it is probably just a very very attenuated sound, caused by a faulty jack. I had that …
