Re: MIDI Options for Adlib Tracker 2 & Fasttracker 2 (20 replies, posted in Other Vintage Computers & Consoles)
yea the MPU-401 is just some old midi tech.. that was out during the dos era.. its what you would use to control your sweet MT-32 module and hear the Kings Quest gameplay music how it was meant to be heard....
Impulse tracker has an option where you can run it in MPU-401 mode.. and it will either playback the general midi built into the sb16 or you can use it as MIDI OUT to control other devices.... I guess its emulated the mpu-401 in that case, but I tried it all out with a parallel port midi device and it all worked using midi out features..
but adlib tracker open source now ?? HOT DIGGITY DOG..

I agree with that one.. heh.. They made me feel like I was some 12 year old coming in and saying HEYS GUYS LISTEN TO MY SMASH SMASH. I then had the vision that all soundshock members were 60 year old synthesis scientists who sit in their studies all day creating and deciphering algorithms for DX7 keyboards.
TURN DOWN THAT RACKET YOU JUST MADE ME FORGET TO CARRY THE 1.

ha.. oh soundshock.. I remember I posted a song on there... me playing live drums to an adlib tracker II song.. the first comment was: "Can you please warn us when its gonna be that loud?" I didnt understand, my tracks arent loud compared to others, but thats why computers/stereos have volume control? yes? And then I get a msg from some admin a month later.. telling me that if I dont respond to posts in proper grammar my account will be suspended. So then I never went to that site again.

-10 points for using dosbox. 
BUT, be patient my friends. Frostbyte, you just gotta do silly things with it, and just mess around all day for hours, days, weeks, months. then you will see the light.. tee hee.. Kind of a tough program to start out with I guess.. from what people were saying.. but i was so obsessed with the sounds and what capabilities it can produce so I just stuck with it hoping one day to sound like LucasArts soundtracks....

Re: Slow Build-up sound??? (11 replies, posted in Audio Production)
i would say to just do an extremely slow pitch bend command.. I dont use lsdj so I dont know the command! but for me it would be E01 or 101, OR if LSDJ has a fine pitch bend command... that may work better, and would be slower....
