SysEx to make selected QS tracks easier to play on MT-32
Posted: Sun Sep 06, 2020 9:04 pm
In most cases, Tom provided System Exclusive messages for the MT-32 with his recordings. But there were exceptions with certain files that Tom listed as being playable on either General MIDI or MT-32. Here are some examples.
- The Colonel's Bequest | The Entertainer | cbgm200.mid
This song is not designed for MT-32 playback right out of the box. Although only a Honky Tonk piano is used on all three tracks, the MT-32 will treat the patch as an Electric Piano. Simply change the patch on all three tracks from Electric Piano 1, to Honky Tonk Piano -- no patch bank is used for this song. - King's Quest IV | Rosella's Organ Solo | kq4_2.mid
MT-32 USERS: You must change Channel 5 to Program #12 (Pipe Organ 1) for proper playback. General MIDI users should use Program #16 (for Channel 5). - King's Quest VI | Jollo | kq6gm17.mid
Change the Program Controllers on channels 8 and 9 to RECORDER (channel 8) and CELESTA 1 (channel 9) before playback.
