there were roland sound-cards for PC which were exactly like the roland mt-32 if not at least compatible and or had one built inside.

check it out.

i say its as chip as an amiga 500's Paula and or SNES sound chipset. They all produce sounds using pcm or sample data. the only difference is that the mt-32 could only use the preset ones it had built in.

What program do you use for your FB-01 jams?

i consider it a VGM related instrument - absolutely - i used to have one... they're awesome - in the same league as the Yamaha FB01 unit - you could technically modify your MT32 to have a non-volatile RAM chip so that turning it off would not erase your patches - altho i have never attempted this trick

so... is it chiptune? not really... but that doesnt mean you wont get street cred for using real VGM hardware

actually, i can't find it in my storage .i want my LA synthesis back! i remember it was a bitch to always have to send the patches cus you couldn't save. flash memory only. but it was a great little midi synth with a unique sound character--well once you created patches with a 3rd party utility.
i think the only actual game i used it on was sam & max hit the road.

sure. have you written a song with it?

hey guys. noob poster, but been lurking for quite a while. some here can vouch for me
so intro out of the way...

can i consider my roland mt-32 to be a chiptune instrument?
...even though its not the white one?

-keep up the wonderful occupation of my precious time.
