Description
ScummVM 0.12.0svn (Apr 7 2008 20:33:19) Features compiled in: Vorbis FLAC MP3 zLib MPEG2
With revision 31443 http://scummvm.svn.sourceforge.net/scummvm/?view=rev&rev=31443 there was introduced a regression on MIDI sound playback. In Kyra1 the sounds are simply gone (no MIDI playback at all through MT-32 hardware) while in HoF they sound plainly wrong, as if they were playbacked in a very bad quality or simply MT-32 MIDI played back as General MIDI.

>Sure you don't have music volume too low for Kyra1?
Nope, as i haven't changed anything in the settings. (Music is still at volume 192) Changing the volume on the speakers doesn't do anything either. It seems even the SysEx commands are gone pretty silent. There are only one or two two commands sent to the hardware and plainly nothing about loaded notes/instruments is written in it's display, thus not playing anything.
>About Kyra2 the sound effects at least are pretty ugly >over here too even with initialized MT-32.
Yes, scrap that, after turning my MT-32 on and off, the soundtrack, as i knew it, is back again (i don't find it that terribly, btw, i quite like it)

SysEx commands are silent *now*? Neat our Kyra MIDI code never supported SysEx commands. Anyway it plays fine over here, any warnings or something in the console?
comment:6 by , 17 years ago
wrt SysEx commands: OK, didn't know that
wrt warnings or other console output:
Nothing, sorry, but i presume you are using the MT-32 driver? I should have been more precise in my reporting as i use CAMD, maybe it's a problem in that drivers part?
Anyway, i still don't get any sound, only speech is played. Switching to Adlib works, though

Kyra1 is MT-32 but Kyra2 was definitely composed for GM.
IIRC, MT-32 support in Kyra2 is merely provided by Miles AIL.

Kyra2 definitly has MT-32 support, they got different MIDI files for it and special initialization code.

Ok, a little step forward, i get sound in the demo of Kyra1.
Now, what's it doing different in the demo than in main?
comment:12 by , 17 years ago
I didn't say Kyra2 doesn't have MT-32 support. I said it was composed for GM (which was confirmed to Alister Gillett by Klepacki himself). I suspect the Kyra2 embedded sysex messages merely remap the patches to GM or upload new ones to make them loosely GM colpiant -- which explains why the soundtrack sounds less than ideal on a MT-32.

"colpiant" -- a new semantic concept meaning something like "compliant" ;D

Sure you don't have music volume too low for Kyra1? About Kyra2 the sound effects at least are pretty ugly over here too even with initialized MT-32.
