250 people have now downloaded my PXR MIDI Player for macOS. A lovely milestone for quite a niche application.

By golly, I should finally buy a Roland MT32. It’s now discounted over at Sierra!

PXR MIDI Player for macOS version 0.99.0 has been released and it's a big one!
Lots of major performance improvements and many new features.
One of my favourites is the new editable mixer. MT-32 mode has also been improved.

One more #RolandMT32 song, as a treat. The intro to #Sierra's Space Quest 3.
MPU-401AT, MT-32, and an AWE64, all direct capture.
I'm super happy with my new setup!
Also, this song absolutely slaps.

Good morning. I am waking up to find some MIDI issue in one of my 86Box machines. It seems 86Box broke or changed something with a recent code update.
Took me a few minutes to figure this out. The Soundblaster 16 is now set to an MPU-401 address of 0x300, while 0x330 is still being used by the Roland MT-32 emulation. Windows 3.1 is satisfied using the 0x300 address after I changed its settings to use it, while DOS games like "The Secret of Monkey Island" are still working fine with the MT-32 music emulation. Before that, I had simply turned off the SB16's MIDI address altogether. Oh, well... maybe this new setting really does make more sense. 😉
Happy retro gaming, everybody!

Experience the DOS floppy disk version introduction of Simon the Sorcerer on real Roland MT-32 hardware. Simon the Sorcerer is a classic point and click adventure game by Adventure Soft.

Just for fun: I mixed the MT-32 and Adlib versions of the intro music from the MS-DOS port of Double Dragon 3: The Rosetta Stone.
I call it the Double DAC'n remix: https://youtu.be/XF01L4GBIos

My Roland #MT32 started randomly displaying “Memory corruption” errors on its screen. Is it dying? Should I replace the capacitors? (avoided it for a while as I’m too bad at soldering)

Holy cow! ... I never realized STUNTS had an MT-32 soundtrack! This is quite a different beast compared to the old IBM PC Speaker. Of course, I knew about Adlib and Soundblaster. But not this! :blobfearful:

If you were a fan of the Roland MT-32, you’ll love the MIDI Blaster that JP built and the devices that inspired it! #generalmidi #midi #mt32 https://hachyderm.io/@prcutler/114971198879894365

Apparently Sierra's Space Quest 5 will reprogram your MT-32 (or CM-64) module to have a GM instrument map. While not true for other games using MT-32, Space Quest 5 might be among the only ones, that using a GM module might give you a better sound quality.
Also for some quite interesting reason, Octavia handles MT-32/CM-64 reprogramming SysEx instructions from LucasArt games just fine, but for Sierra games Octavia fails spectacularly with SQ5 as the single exception.

I just received a ClumsyMIDI Pi Hat I've setup with a Raspberry Pi 3 and the MT32-Pi software, to use with my Atari 520ST. Giving Ultima IV a listen.
$49 from Tindie. Good so far!

Mission accomplished - even though I obviously printed it in the wrong color! :D
And don't worry about my soldering skills - I was too lazy to get my glasses, but it works! :D
The specific version I have installed, is the WP32 McCake WaveTable board, mounted on a PicoGUS ISA card.

Can't believe I'm saying this, but the #Commodore 386-SX16 seems rock solid in comparison to the super flaky #aptiva.
Slow as hell, partially incompatible graphics but with a spiffy new #SoundBlaster compatible ISA card. This is the perfect rig for early #Sierra and #LucasArts games. Maybe I should get a #MT32-Pi #McCake WaveTable board for it, or maybe that's a little overkill.

Listening to the Secret of Monkey Island and Simon the Sorcerer Soundtracks on the Roland MT-32

Excited to now have a Roland MT-32 as part of my collection. Great for the first Monkey Island, Simon the Sorcerer and others.
There is a slight crack on the front panel, would love to be able to replace this if anyone knows of good replicas available?

I really like my Roland D-05, it really sounds like the old D-50. However, far too many of the best D-50 presets have been claimed by Enya. As much as I try, I can't play anything but Orinoco Flow with Pizzagogo. Enya loves the D-50 and used its presets on so many of her songs, I really need to convert my old library of homemade LAPC-I/MT-32 patches to D-50 so I can play something else.

Tonight, I'm checking out an old Sierra adventure game I never played before: "The Colonel's Bequest" from 1989.
86Box is such an awesome, little emulator. I can just fire up the virtual 386, mount the 720k floppy disk images into drive A:, pick the best graphics (EGA/VGA) and music device (MT-32) and everything just works just like that!
As a retro gamer, I think this is such a treat! :ablobcatattention:
