Re: MT32Editor: open source patch editor and librarian

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.

Re: Some discoveries about the CM-32L panning

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...

Re: Some discoveries about the CM-32L panning

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...

Re: Some discoveries about the CM-32L panning

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...

Larry 1 VGA - Mack the Knife

Fun fact which I posted about on the FB group. Basically, after reviewing some of Al Lowe's internal documents, I noticed and then confirmed that the Honeymoon Suite (and "All Tied Up!") from LSL1VGA are both based on "Mack the Knife", the classic 60s song. https://www.youtube.co...

Some discoveries about the CM-32L panning

Hey folks, I recently looked into something NewRisingSun had told me years back about the CM-32L and MT-32 panning differing. I looked into it more, and using his knowledge plus information in the manuals, I came up with the following. I haven't done actual listening tests to 100% confirm all of thi...

New Leisure Suit Larry 5 soundtracks coming

Hey folks, I'm not announcing this publically yet, but I thought it might be fun to do so here, since I was feeling a QuestStudios vibe with this project. Basically, I've been working on creating a studio with high quality realistic sounds, but I also have a JV-50 keyboard (SC with an expanded JV-10...

Re: Some recent YouTube streams of Sierra composers

Thanks for saying that, DrJ. A few watched but didn't get much feedback, so it's nice to hear some.
