Hey folks, For those who don't know, Ken Allen was the original composer of SQ5, before Ken W got wind of this and told Dynamix they needed to redo it with inhouse people (Ken Allen had left Sierra in 1991). Ken has recreated the 'lost' opening themes that were to be used in the game, you can view i...

Hey folks,

This is a "Work In Progress" post reminding me to update you all. But, I wrote to Tom, as I do periodically. This time, unlike most - I heard back! He's doing well. I'll share if he permits and update what I can otherwise.

Regards,

The Captcha for login issues has now been updated so it works properly (hopefully)! Thanks to Andrew for updating it.

Congrats for your first! Mine would have been in 2002, wow..

Used it tonight, thanks farvardin! It's incredibly useful to be able to see details I'd been "blind" to before, like individual patch pitch bend, key shift, and reverb status.

Yeah, I need to check this out! The master thread is on Vogons and the guy seems really nice.

It turns out that despite intending for there to be 15 positions, the LA32 chip only recognises 3-byte (8 numerical) positions. My theories from before don't apply, since the hardware doesn't actually work as it purports to in the manuals. So there is only 4 Left and 4 Right positions, with what I'm...

Thanks man! I'm excited. Mostly to record Larry 5 with the correct SFX and panning. I tested the panning on MUNT and it was different yet again than I expected... There were only 4 Left and 3 Right positions in both MT-32 and CM-32L (of course, going to test with hardware!). The CM-32L is panned mor...

Yeah, it means CM devices aren't suitable for MT-32 gaming or even playback (without pan modifications). Quite a game-changer. I didn't announce it on VOGONS cause it seemed like it might be unpopular.. Haven't investigated variants. I own a gen 1 MT-32 so that will be interesting to check. And of c...
