lol excellent rig classic game

I just got one of these in the mail but I lack the cables to connect it.

I'm guessing I'll need some sort of midi to usb cable and I also need a European power supply for it (came with a US one)... or maybe a converter.

Can't wait to try it out :o

@laffer35 The power supply you will find in any music store in your country. Cost you about 15 euro. Don't use a converter. It simply runs on a DC 12V (I think, or 9V) supply which is really easy to come by and cheaper than a converter. MIDI to USb cable will do the trick. Edirol and MAudio do some good ones.

@dentunes I'm using Wingroove with the Roland MT32 option on and even though the sound is great it has nothing on the actual Roland MT32 device (i sent a PM to you and since the Youtube is private you have respond to that PM) the Sierra help pages website gave me a program that allows me to click an icon to load this game without typing anything and I find my NES USB controller work well for moving my character over using the clumsy keyboard interface keys. ScummVM works with MIDI too.

Finally got it connected properly a few weeks ago now, really cool listening to the various MT-32 soundtracks.

@laffer35 Great to hear! I just bought an old Atari ST hoping to get the MT-32 working with it as well.

did you try to Setup Dosbox to get a better Resoultion?

[dentunes]

@Btushinsky83 Tried, didn't succeed and was happy how it was. Any suggestions?

[ziochicho]

Totally awesome, man! Thanks for that little "tutorial". I'm trying to get my hands on an MT-32 and maybe this will help when I try to set it up with DOSBox. I think the MT-32 versions of the soundtracks give the games so much more depth. I think the general MIDI versions have a certain charm that I remember as a kid when I played Quest For Glory and King's Quest, but I didn't know what I was missing.

[dentunes]

@ziochicho Sounds great. If you have any questions let us know. General MIDI in some games are better though don't have the character that the MT32 has. I hook up my gigging keyboard (Korg PA800) to get General MIDI sound and use it the same way as the MT32 (Through MIDI). Good luck with your search. I paid $60AUD for my MT32 about a year ago. eBay is your friend.

@DontrelleRoosevelt check out the web site Al Lowe's web site. It has all the music from LSL for download there.

Wow! I wish I could get a copy of the entire soundtrack being played through the MT32. Just incredible.
