Wow. Now it really starts to sound like something closely related to an MT-32! 😁

Congratulations guys, and keep up the good work. Ultima 6, here I come...

Yeah, I agree...it's getting to the point where I don't wince every two seconds.

This is a seriously cool project, I only wish I understood enough about the MT-32 to contribute 🙁. Where do we send our donations?

Yeah I'm totally impressed, too. I have my own MT-32, but it'd be nice to be able to hear it live without actually having to hook it up. 😀 Great work, it's starting to sound pretty decent now.

Thanks for all the support. The next release, which should be out in a couple of days, will have dynamic reverb (that approximates the MT-32's modes) and a few more bug fixes. I'm getting to the point to where I can fool my wife into which one is my emulator and which one is the real thing. I believe this is a good sign. 😀

Another neat thing about the MT-32 emulator beyond not having to hook it up will be that I intend to make a driver/system tray application out of it. That means it'll work with DosBox, ScummVM, you name it. Since you'll be able to control it in the system tray, you'll be able to reset it or load patches or change reverb or what-not to your heart's content right there from your desktop. I've applied for my own sourceforge site to begin the development of a driver for Windows and Linux. I'll let you know it goes.

I've just tried playing Rise of the Dragon and it is very nearly spot on! Also tried willy beamish, off key in a couple of places but other than that you're nearly there!! (Bearing in mind that I originally played them with a soundblaster so I can't really compare, but to me they're sounding pretty good!)
It's an old dream come true finding your software canadacow, I'm rifling through all my old games to see how they sound!! Making the most of it now, our first baby is due 1st Jan 2004 so not much computer time then!
Thanks again,
Matthew

Any MT32 owners out there willing to create a "comparison" listing? While ideally, we should hope for perfect emulation, it would be nice to have a comparison list. Especially for those titles where you may as well choose General MIDI or AdLib.

Of course, I presently own an MT-32... and I've been using it to forecast the logarithmic equations used to generate attack times and what-not. I wouldn't bother with generating that list until I'm satisfied with the audio playback. There's still some things I know are lacking. Again, its only a matter of time before I have them nailed down too.

*heh* I knew that, I just figured you had your hands full and wanted to concentrate on the emulator. I was thinking in terms of other users. I'm not knocking your programming, I'm just saying that even technically perfect emulation will have the occasional oddball where it doesn't sound the same as the original.
