Some instruments are wrong in these recordings. The typewrtier sound in intro and the whistle sound on chichi bar. Maybe the wrong driver or corrupted sysex (midi overflow?)

Dumb just a lot of windsurfing

Full game now,

Also a good looking scuba diver in a black bikini ❤

Very good looking snorkeler at 25:30

Sounds vaguely like the PC Engine/Turbografx 16 or the NES mixed with midi

Fantastic sound module

I was a nut for the SC-88 the instant I heard those french horns! <3

It’s time to kick ass and chew bubble gum...

Love the yamaha

Definitely prefer the SC-55 for this, but it's so interesting to hear on the 88. Thanks for uploading.

i'm unable to make dosbox use the mt-32 properly. munt is working, music is heard and the windows lights up correclty but some instruments are wrongly assigned (slap bass). this makes me think that a wrong GM/GS table is used, but idk where the fault lays, if in the roms, in munt, in dosbox or in the windows devices. any ideas?

Probably the best 4op FM that you're ever gonna get out of the PC (and thats still not saying much) It's better than the IBM Music Feature Card demo at least.

First, and this sounds good.

Great sound! I have an FB-01 and only recently learned of the games that support it. Mistake not recording the dance scene.

Nobody talks about using the Fb-01 for games it's honestly underrated

Kinda crappy guitar on the MU50.

What's different compared to Swampy's Chest MT-32 upload? Sounds a bit more dynamic here.

the JV-1010 seems to have tempo issues between every other bar or so.

Great channel, mate! :)

ゲームミュージックを使う事により、fm音源の良さが伝わってきます。良い音してますね

Nice, so did all of the games in this playlist support the IBM Music Feature Card/YM2164 or are you just making them use it anyway somehow? This doesn't sound like it's fully utilizing the chip's 8 channels and effects like LFO for better percussion sounds. Wikipedia only lists these games: King's Quest IV: The Perils of Rosella, Leisure Suit Larry Goes Looking for Love (in Several Wrong Places), Leisure Suit Larry III: Passionate Patti in Pursuit of the Pulsating Pectorals, Space Quest III: The Pirates of Pestulon and Silpheed. Also, this is a more advanced question but can you confirm if this chip actually supports 4 waveform types instead of 1 (sine wave) like the YM2151? That would make it a superior chip, if used correctly that is.

mt32 is the best :)

I am thinking of using this unit to be controlled by the lower manual of my Hammond clone for extra voices - Front panel octave shift is most necessary when using this with a five-octave keyboard. Is this possible on the JV-1010 without the use of an external device?

The Yamaha FB-01 is the same as the IBM Music Feature Card that I used to have. Very nice to hear its special sound again.

What mode was the SC-88VL in? You can change it to SC-55 or CM-64 mode. The CM-64 mode should be pretty close. There is also a utility/patch to set it to MT-32 mode at www.houseofsynth.com/roland-gs-general-standard-to-mt-32-conversion-utility

The good old MT-32 winz! Hands down :)

Strange, the percussions on Yamaha MU50 seem to be doubled (like a quick echo), is that normal?

how do the drums come out of the yamaha fb01

The is the spec on the GM mode is it close to SC-55?

The FB-01 actually sounds really great with this, it's sounds similar to an Adlib (due to both being FM based synths), but the FB-01 soundtrack in this game blows the Adlib out of the water. It's not real hard since the Adlib soundtrack for this game sounded like complete arse even though the Adlib had a LOT more potential. The soundtrack of Dune 1 comes to mind. Though if you want the best music with PQ2, of course, the MT-32 smashes the competition (well this game's music was composed with an MT-32)

Which is your favorite? I have an mt-32 and just got a jv-1010...I'm (kind of) wishing that I bought an sc-88 or sc-55 :/

Unfortunately, nothing yet. It's quite haphazard, sometimes GM midi sounds good, sometimes completely off or nothing at all. I don't really have time lately, but I guess it's just about remapping the instruments (and taking care of the issue of polyphony...)

Thank and glad you liked... please upload some FB-01 sounds as well to keep the little module going! :)

And ill soon have that module for my studio setup, for my FM needs. :)

Wonderful! Looooooved this game

Any luck?

Thanks for posting these! It's great to hear one of the old music options from back in the day. This is an interesting mix... some parts sound better than Adlib, some sound worse. I can tell if Sierra put effort into remixing the music for the module, it could have sounded really good.

Basicly, you plug the "out" port of the USB-to-Midi adapter in the "IN" port of the JV-1010. The "in" plug of the adapter is not of much use (as far as I know) so I leave it hanging around. I hope this answers the question - sorry for the delay, was on vacation :)

The JV-1010 version is probably my favorite as well. I usually love the punchy Yamaha MU sounds, but they are a bit unbalanced in this case. The MT-32 has a different flavor too, but still, the JV is so well balanced that the tune has this feeling that the tune was composed for it. I am planning a comparison of these modules with the Dune 2 soundtrack, will see how it goes...

Unfortunately, I have not found a midi file player for the FB01. It would need to be specific to the device, as the FB01 is not General Midi and has completely different instrument maps. I have also been looking for a midi or sysex file that would remap the FB01 to something similar to the GM map (like you can with the MT32), but no success there either. I wish I had the background to do this myself...

Make sure you have the fb01.drv file in the game folder to be able to select the FB01 in the setup. I use dosbox and a generic USB-midi adapter. There is a special build of dosbox for the FB01 (fixing midi buffer issues, if I understood correctly) on the VOGONS forums, that is the one I used for this video. Also, but you probably know this, turn off the "memory protect" feature of your FB01.

Is there any way to do the same thing with midis as you are with dos box?

How'd you make the game use the fb01 as the sound module?

Tie Fighter is set to General Midi, so it is not JV specific. Windows Vista and later do not have easily accessible ways to select midi output and defaults to MS GS synth, which is rather crappy. Editing the registry or using third party tools (like PLWMidiMap.cpl) allows you to change the midi output device, e.g. to the USB to midi adapter. Sorry if this was redundant, but this should solve the problem if I understood you correctly.

The JV-1010 only does the midi music, the sound effects and speech are courtesy of dosbox' Sound Blaster 16 emulation (unfortunately)...

Yes, generic USB to MIDI adapter and a modified version of Dosbox on Win7. Works surprisingly well, considering the age of the module...

So does this use a USB to MIDI adapter?
