And here my technical curiosity gets piqued.
You mentioned the device has an USB interface. Does this mean the device you're using is a modern variant of the 1987 MT-32? Or does the USB standard go further back in time than I thought? I'm surprised by how plug-n-play the process appears to be. Are the drivers needed for the MT-32 really that universal? How does it show up in the computer's device manager? As an audio card?
Also I'm curious about the sound pipeline details. Would DosBox feed the MT-32 with MIDI digital signals, which are then converted to sound by the device and handed back to the Line-In of the computer's own sound card?
Anyway, thanks for the recordings. It's always nice to hear those tunes the way they were meant to be heard.
Also, I actually enjoy Adlib's "tinny" sound. It's funny, because I must agree that the sound generated by the MT-32 device is far superior. Oh well, I'm strange.
And sorry for the many questions
