I want to add my 2 cents on

1--disable-oversampling

option available in some forks.

In my testing the treble output gets slightly elevated with this option called vs. without it. I confirmed this with a spectrogram. There may be a technical explanation related to how SDL handles sample rate mixing. I don't know the specifics. Based on the spectrogram it could be that residual frequency content stays contained in ultrasonic frequencies, thus inaudible, whereas without oversampling the residual content gets combined in the audible frequency ranges instead.

What matters most to me is that I prefer the warmer tonal quality when

is omitted. It clashes less next to output from other synths.

Very interesting, i need to try this option.

Remind me, how do I use the option?
UPD: found out myself.

Kinda offtopic question: what font did SC-55 use on its front panel?

Roland's SCVA uses ODRF_UPR-Regular.otf, if that is of any use?

https://github.com/jcmoyer/Nuked-SC55/releases/tag/0.6.1

Added hashes for mk2 roms with a CTF patch applied from shingo45endo/sc55mk2-ctf-patcher. (#51)

hey uh popping by here to ask a question about the license. do audio recordings of the program count as derivative works? i want to upload an UNMONETIZED song that i made with the program to youtube, but i'm worried that i might be violating the license by uploading it to a site that runs ads on all videos (regardless of monetization)

also sorry for double post, but i've been unable to contact nuke over discord about this for the past 363 days

I'm pretty sure the Doom + Doom II and Heretic + Hexen remasters used Nuked to record the SC-55 versions of the soundtrack, so I don't think it should be a problem.

I'm pretty sure the Doom + Doom II and Heretic + Hexen remasters used Nuked to record the SC-55 versions of the soundtrack, so I don't think it should be a problem.

The problem is that
Heretic was recorded in Soundblaster AWE32 hence the higher range since SC-55 is missing a ton of tones and some music mainly The Crypts sounds off when in AWE32 is perfect, and Hexen obviously used a SC-88/SC-88PRO for the redbook audio and ingame music.
Which Nightdive fumbled it and Edward went on to show a AWE32 without OPL claiming that the card and the soundtrack was OPL, and say that the game was recorded in SC55.

I hope that one day we get a Nuked-SC88 so Hexen, shadow warrior and such can be finally heard as it was intended.

I'm reasonably sure you are allowed to upload recordings of midi files played back with nuked. You are of course allowed to upload music you compose. You probably do have to own your own sound canvas or sound canvas VA, though.

If youtube runs ads on the video, it's because someone legally monetized it. If it's a song you made with roland samples, then it would probably have to be Roland themselves that monetized it. If they monetize it and don't have it taken down that's giving permission.

They don't randomly put ads on videos that can't actually be monetized. There will probably be no ads on it.
