Just listening and watching this made me very happy. I'm glad the 80's and 90's era of games have pretty much become their own genre's and are still being followed and modelled after today. 8-bit will never die, also I need an MT-32 reeel bad :p
Back in high-school a buddy of mine got an audio tape from Sierra touting the awesome gaming experience you could get with the MT-32 and Adlib sound cards. We used to listen to it over and over again, and I really loved the Silpheed soundtrack. I really wanted an MT-32, but never got one. A year or so later, I did end up getting a SoundBlaster Pro, which was great, but could never sound as good as the incredible MT-32. Thanks for the video!
MightyQDawg Thanks for watching. I had heard of the MT-32 back in the 90's but knew it was way out of my price range. 5-6 years ago I finally got one off Ebay for 30-50 dollars after reading on how to hook it up to a modern PC. I've loved it ever since. Yesterday I finally got it plugged into my sound card so I can do a few recordings.
My friend and I listened to it religiously, and I've been looking for it for years, but could never find it until your comment reminded me that it was a Sierra promotional cassette! now here's the whole tape: ruclips.net/video/PqbEfpJ9wv4/видео.html&ab_channel=SierraMultimedia
Aye it does. I starting up many of the supported games just to hear their intro music. Sierra was a HUGE supporter of the Roland MT-32 back in the day.

+MightyQDawg I ordered that tape and listened to it religiously!
I had that tape too, and listened to it so many times... I wish I still had it.
I had the tape, too!

Very big difference. Roland MT32 produces quite a nice sound.

Beyond my reach back then. I was happy I ended up with a Gravis Ultrasound Add on card eventually :P
The MT-32 sounds very Amiga like. How many sound channels did it have?
"The original MT-32 comes with a preset library of 128 synth and 30 rhythm sounds, playable on 8 melodic channels and one rhythm channel."
Wow, ok, damn. I didnt' even think i'd care about soundtracks that much, but yeah, that's difference.
MT-32 has same engine as Roland D-10 \ D-20 synthesizer.
I thought it was closer to that of the D-110.
