Hi, on Win95, you have "old" legacy drivers than works as win3.x and new vxd drivers that breaks some dos compatibility. I don't know if this specific card can be used with the old ones.
I found one of these with the daughterboard a few years back at the PC Recycling center I goto. Couldn't find any information or pricing so I got a great deal on it. One of the rarer cards I have in my collection. I also got a TB Malibu shortly after from a Craigslisting "junk" listing pickup. I was ecstatic to say the least.
I'm curious to see how Impulse Tracker handles this sound card. It can directly access a wide variety of sound cards and, depending on the type, can also use the RAM on it.
There are couple of ways. You can either use an amplifier with two inputs that work concurrently or some sort of hardware mixer. I use two sound cards in my capture PC.
Interesting video, never tried that card, was always a bit too pricey 😅 but isn't there a way to either use two different midi ports for the onboard midi and the daughter board? Some cards have jumpers or in the config file. Others a setting in the windows control panel before going back to dos ... Oh, and regarding the sound volume, there might be an option to set the mixer to the windows one in command line
@@KITR-UK I have the same issue with some cards, what I end up doing is having one card for midi listening to one port, and a soundcard for sound effects where the midi is routed to another port, and an external midi MPU that lets me use multiple inputs/outputs and it's taking too much space 😅 but at least I have some choices 😅
Hey Karl love your vids saving this one for tomorrow maybe we can help each other out ? I have a Roland SCC-1 that I purchased in 1989 ? and re discovered in the bottom of a cupboard ! I planned on using it as the centre piece of a retro machine build but just don't have the time or space :-( so I'm planning on selling it. The problem is I have no way of testing if it works or not ! Would you be interested in a loan of the card for one of your videos then I could sell the card as tested and working !
I already have two of SCC-1s, one for the IBM PC and one for the PC-98, however, I can certainly test it for you. Contact me by email and let's figure something out.
Hold on. There is no first class support for MT32 in Gabriel Knight. It simply reprograms it to GM compatible first thing i think and then just pretends it was a Sound Canvas. All the music is composed and stored as GM. I wonder what other games do the same thing, of the ones you showcase. Potentially all of them, regardless if they work with UART type MIDI interfaces.
Having what you already said - I think it has decent MT32 emulation mode - Budokan, TFX and Monkey Island 1 sound great with it!
also the DOS version of DOOM comes with midi and wave at half volume, you can change that in game with F4
Don't worry, Doom was maxed out.
Great review! I really like Doon 2 M1 and also in most other games its wavetable sounds great! (Dune sounds best with OPL2 FM).

No compatibility about DOS games.... 😢

Well your Doom config didn't have any sound fx! So there was only midi music
Man, everyone wanted a Turtle Beach sound card! I had to settle for a Sound Blaster 16.
sounds mighty, and yes the memmories ... ty

I love your sound card reviews! The quest continues :)
A weird little duck of a soundcard.
I wish all the game developers would have made the games to support sounds for all the extra good cards.

Tyrian!!
Great review, it will be nice if you add the names of the games during the test.
I usually do that, I just forgot to do that this time, sorry.
When you run 2 sound cards how do you connect both to your speakers?

Thanks! I'll give this a shot.

Unfortunately, it can use only one MIDI port. And unfortunately, the mixer is a Windows program.

Oh man. I have one of those somewhere.
Dig it up then and go play some games.

Thats great and all.
But...
Can it run Crysis?
No, but it rocks FEAR.
