Re: MIDI rips of Konami's 1993 Sharp X68000 game, "Akumajō Dracula" for Roland MT-32/CM-32L/CM-64
That's interesting because I don't remember making changes other than culling certain tracks that were repeats between those releases. But I'm very glad you got it working and that you love the sound of these synthesizers as much as me. Yes, being true synthesizers, these modules can be coaxed to m...

Re: MIDI rips of Konami's 1993 Sharp X68000 game, "Akumajō Dracula" for Roland MT-32/CM-32L/CM-64
The problem was something much more foolish than my USB midi interface (although I did upgrade to Roland's solution - RIP Midisport Uno!)... as it turned out I was using the MT-32 set and not the CM-32 and 64 set. Now they sound amazing! I really need to get my hands on more X68000 stuff. I can't g...

Re: Chainsaw Monday
I've made a short documentary on Chainsaw Monday (available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gmyc6rPN04 ), the Major Layoffs at Sierra On-Line which happened 20 years ago, on February 22nd, 1999 in Oakhurst, CA and ultimately destroyed the company, albeit slowly and needing another set of layoff...

Re: MIDI rips of Konami's 1993 Sharp X68000 game, "Akumajō Dracula" for Roland MT-32/CM-32L/CM-64
Thanks so much for ripping these and the SYSex files! I'm having a bit of an issue getting proper playback on my CM-64 and my CM-32L using Falcosoft's midi player. No matter which of the SYSex files I load up the CM-64 plays improper instruments at times and the CM-32L won't play some of the channe...

Re: MIDI 2.0
Crazy stuff, but the MIDI Manufacturer's Association is prototyping a new evolution of the MIDI standard, dubbed MIDI 2.0. https://www.midi.org/articles/the-midi-manufacturers-association-mma-and-the-association-of-music-electronics-industry-amei-announce-midi-2-0tm-prototyping Very neat! I don't e...

Re: Optimizing the sound quality for the MT-32 and SC-8820
What do you mean by "unbalanced"? Professional audio often uses "balanced cables" to reduce interference in the cabling. The interface at each end must support it to get the benefit, though: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balanced_audio Neither the MT-32 or the SC-8820 supports i...

Re: Optimizing the sound quality for the MT-32 and SC-8820
Andrew probably would have noticed and said so, but it may be that the Instrument Map (set by the front "INST MAP" button on the SC-8820) had previously been set to the SC-55 Map. The way the horn is well-defined on both versions at the 2 second mark makes me doubt it, though. Andrew is pr...

Re: Video about MT-32 and video games
Yeah, I saw that recently too, along with his CM-300 cleanup video. He does a great job explaining the MT-32 (although we probably all know parts 6-8 can be edited as well, by holding "MASTER VOLUME" in conjunction with 1-3) and seems to have a large youtube following that hopefully will b...

Re: Roland CM-64 tricks
Recently I noticed that Munt 2.3 adds a configuration option to set the number of partials! After trying it out with success, I was curious about how many partials generally overflow in the real hardware. To get meaningful output, I decided to put the CM-64 into overflow assign mode with the unoffic...

Re: Larry 5 and CM-32L
I finally got around to contacting NewRisingSun on vogons, and this was the above-and-beyond response: It's not a question of the driver, but of the 1.PAT resource. It contains 256 bytes of data for the "Setup Temp Area (rhythm part)", address 03 01 00. When Sierra created the data for tha...
