Can we get a cool tech thread going? Pic rel. I just got one of these and it's pretty dope. I wish I could figure out how to configure it to use it's soundbank for creation though in Reaper using reacontrol. I can do that with the soundfonts I put on it like the SC-55 but the MT-32 mode doesn't seem to work. Definitely worth it though if you're into anything old school or planning on emulation old games from the 90s since a real MT-32 is like $300.
>>107709048That's pretty neat maybe I'll make one I do have an old pi3 sitting around
Why not just emulate the fucking soundchip, retard?
>>107709048>it's pretty dopei'm happy for you but please don't speak in ebonics on my boardthanks
>>107709331Huh? You didn't use sound chips in the past exactly. You had sound card expansion slots but then you MIDI cards as well. This is emulating that.
>>107709348Yeah, soundchip was the wrong word, this shit was just a rompler rather than something actually producing music. Which makes it even stupider that you wouldn't just emulate it.
>>107709358No it's producing the music. It's emulating the hardware software emulation doesn't work which is the whole reason this was created. There's plenty of videos on it showing emulation sound vs bulky vs real mt-32.
>>107709348>Huh?we don't use redditspeak here pal
>>107709368>emulation sound vs bulky vs real mt-32.Please find me an example of munt doing poorly in a comparison, then.
>>107709393Fuck off zoomie
>>107709404As far as I know it uses munt but since it's using actual hardware it sounds better + adds the soundfont support and actual midi functionality. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUz5-hW1n0U
>>107709435>since it's using actual hardware it sounds betterSupport this claim.
>>107709444NTA but by using the pi to run the software it has a dedicated chip handling the input which is why it's popular with MiSTer setups, the FPGA board can't handle both.
>>107709473This is a justification for offboarding emulation on an underpowered device, not support for the claim that "actual hardware sounds better", which is a nonsense claim I was making fun of, because the overt implication was that "munt on a pi sounds better than munt on any other kind of PC". I didn't even make fun of him for his "actual midi functionality" claim, ignoring the fact that virtual midi routing works perfectly.
>>107709521You can't emulate through Munt on old hardware. The point stands if you want an MT-32 without shelling out money you'd want to run a pi version.
>>107709559>You can't emulate through Munt on old hardwareI do really wonder how many people are big enough sticklers for accuracy that dosbox is verboten and they have to haul out what is probably these days very expensive old hardware to run games at lower resolutions with poor framerates, but sure, a 60 dollar kit is probably less effort than finding a couple of midi adapters and leaving your PC on.
>>107709596Tbh I've used doxbox and it kind of sucks and is a pain in the ass for a lot of things. I've also used scrummvm with an mt-32 and it's beautiful.
