The OPL3 emulation though is still fairly imperfect. Certain sounds cannot be achieved without the real hardware. It is however the most stable built of this program I've seen yet, and you can actually run macros at 200x speeds without any slowdown what-so-ever. MIDI implementation is still very very limited. It's designed to be a monosynth note retriggerer for use with DAW's apparently. If only soundblaster 16 drivers were compatible with NT 5.1 and up builds to use with this. That would make me extremely happy. I do wonder if this will run on older NT's though have to try it with win2000 or NT 4.0.

Weird. I just re-downloaded AdlibTracker yesterday. Are there any guides on using this beast?

yes thats all the mouse is used for... to move to the lower parts of the channels.

I don't have much experience with AT2 yet since I've mostly dicked around and played modules between breaking my compatible computers, but it seems to me like all the mouse really does is scroll to different parts of the interface?

ok so i restored my os tonight ( coincidentally, not cause of this) and i have keyboard support now. still getting the same mouse driver message though. in the tutorials i started to watch i never saw them use a mouse i thought. im gonna do some more research though( seriously know nothing about using this currently)

edit: nvrmind were good. just installed some ms dos mouse drivers i apparently needed.

Anyone know any fixes? Or do I just have to stick with dosbox?

same, windows 7 starter, though i didnt time to try any troubleshooting yet.

I managed to repaire my ESS Maestro 2 laptop, so I have an FM Tracking machine again. Even if it sounds kind of off.

ok im convinced. downloading today so we'll see what happens. gotta admit looks a little daunting though.

If you do actually want an FM VSTi, VOPM is a free, open source one that a few people have used to great effect which sounds beyond decent.

There are a cumulative 8 tracks or so on the FM FUNK compilations Vol. I and Vol. II, including a couple of stellar pieces by virt.

I was afraid that would be the case, thank's for the answer Akira and Telerophon!

Is it supposed to be working like a VST plug in any DAW as well?
