Re: converting a MT32 midi file to GM

hello, you're welcome :) I haven't used this midicsv tool too much, but it works pretty well, I've managed to make a proof of concept to work. The problem is it's quite tedious to select and find a good version of a GM equivalent, so I didn't go too far in the creation of the converter. Initially I ...

New MT-32 album: "Espaces lointains"

hello, I'm working on a full length album composed only on and for the MT-32. One hour of synthpop music in the 90's spirit, but also some other kind of music (Dungeon Synth, ambiant...) I'll probably release it soon (and I'll advertise it here of course), but if you wish to listen to it now and giv...

converting a MT32 midi file to GM

Hello, are you aware of a tool which could remap a MT32 midi file to sound quite similar in General Midi? I understand some sounds are unique to the MT32, but most of them could be transposed to GM without problem. I'm working on a MT32 album but I also wish to convert the tunes to GM so I'd need a ...

Re: MT-32 in commercial movies / music

Heads Up - The Long Shot is quite cool music, I'll listen some more. I can understand even if the MT-32 is less powerful than the D-50 it could prove to be quite versatile. I suppose also it was easier for musician to prefer the D-110 which is also more practical than the MT-32 (I have both). The op...

MT-32 in commercial movies / music

hello, While the D-50 was commonly used in the music industry, the MT-32, and probably the D-110 as well, seems to be seen less frequently. The MT-32 is infamous for the noisy DAC and the fact it was targetting the non professional market. Yet I've just found it was used in the composition of this r...

Re: MT-32 category on BotB

battle of the bits had their .org domain stolen, so I've corrected the links with the new domain (.com). I've also added the https://battleofthebits.com/browser/EntryByFormat/mt32/ link which will even discover the tracks not tagged as MT-32. I've found many great songs this way, for example this on...

Re: I finally got a real MT-32 :)

Hello, sorry for the late reply... I haven't noticed about this that you have to turn down the button to be able to raise it, it doesn't seem to be the case on my device (it's a first version). Anyway, I've managed to fix the volume knob (which is also used to navigate into the menu so it's better i...

I finally got a real MT-32 :)

Hello, I got a genuine MT-32 today (first edition), I'm so happy :D I'll still use my mt32pi for daily usage, but the real module is a nice addition to my setup, especially for future recordings! mt32_2024-05-18.jpg the select / volume rotary encoder is not very precise and tends to fluctuate, maybe...

Re: MT32Editor: open source patch editor and librarian

you're welcome, thanks to Sfryers for the wonderful editor!
I've used it for a new track, it works well, it's much easier to setup than the old LA synth which no longer worked with wine for me.
