Interesting. The SCCore00.dll/dylib file included with the synthesizer is a fairly straightforward C API single instance synthesizer. The synthesizer supports multiple instances by duplicating the library around to trick the process into loading multiple instances of it. On OS X, it also searches …

Once again, here's the Sound Canvas VA test player for Mac OS X, and it crashes and reports errors trying to locate some of its internal files. Playback works fine with the commented DLSMusicDevice in AUPlayer.mm. https://gitlab.kode54.net/kode54/AUMIDIPlayer/tree/master If anyone feels like telling …

I've attempted to build an Audio Unit player into Cog, for OS X, to support MIDI playback through the AU version of this plug-in. It has been a failure. https://gitlab.kode54.net/kode54/Cog/blob/master/Plugins/MIDI/MIDI/AUPlayer.mm It crashes at a random time into the render with some error freeing …

Disregard that, I suck. I still have a bad .MUS conversion of the file on my hard drive, and it was in the playlist. The converter broke the pitch bends, or the target format didn't support that range.

Another bug I noticed with it. It doesn't seem to support the extreme maximum range of the pitch wheel, as evidenced by FASTWAY.MID from Rise of the Triad. It seems to completely ignore the pitch wheel sliding above zero, or above some threshold.

Packard Bell Sound Card / 14.4 modem. It was basically an Aztech Sound Galaxy with SBPro and Windows Sound System capabilities, and an actual OPL3 chip. The SBPro mode tended to completely lock up the sound card if the sound engine from Duke Nukem 3D, ROTT, Shadow Warrior, Blood, etc, was used at …

Oh, you're quite right. The code I wrote to initialize the OPL class for AdPlug was missing a break statement, so it was falling through to the MAME core. Hah.

Still doesn't do that one drum sample like dbopl does. I can't really test an actual OPL3 because the only OPL3 card I have is ISA based, and I have no ISA slotted machines to plug it into, at least not handy at the moment. https://www.dropbox.com/s/jf4tncgaz2nllx6/NUBC_dbopl.flac?dl=0 https://www. …

Hello! I've updated the BASSMIDI Driver a number of times. I also have an issue to report with the OPL3 emulator employed by this driver, as tested with AdPlug for foobar2000. The drum sounds in this IMF file sound wrong compared to the OPL3 chip I had on my old sound card. They should have a noisy …

Sorry about that guys, that line should read as: exlen = ( dwParam2 >= 0xF8 && dwParam2 <= 0xFF ) ? 1 : (( dwParam2 == 0xC0 || dwParam2 == 0xD0 ) ? 2 : 3); There's also this for Linux, but no telling if it works 100% correctly for everyone, and it's just a bit of a pain to set up anyway.

Sorry, I didn't notice this topic when I searched. Yes, supporting a simulation of the sfman32.dll and aweman32.dll interfaces could help with a higher level emulation of the devices, using either Fluidsynth, or the much more capable BASSMIDI (Ian Luck's library, which is ported to numerous …

Is the debugger capable of dumping the GUS sample RAM to disk? If not, I'll look into adding that, as it will help a friend figure out how an obscure game is unpacking or otherwise decoding its samples from its internal packed directory of files to a playable form. I'm not sure if it's relevant to …

Bah, I misinterpreted the GX mode button. It does seem to interfere with floating point output through DirectSound. I've implemented my own sound output code based on XAudio2. That failing, it will attempt to open DirectSound with floating point, or otherwise fall back on 16 bit integer format. The …

Either disable GX mode, or wait for one of us to add a switch to disable floating point output mode. (PS. Xonar drivers suck.)

You can solve the clipping issue with i386_mixBuffers, i386_mixBuffersRingMix, and i386_produceOutput1, by using paddsw instead of paddw. I don't know what's up with i386_partialProductOutput, though.
