DMXOPL3

New and improved DMX GENMIDI for Doom and sourceports, taking full advantage of
|
||||
the OPL3 waveforms. This takes things up a notch in terms of timbre.
|
||||
|
||||
# Summary
|
||||
This is a GENMIDI patch for DMX for OPL3 FM synthesis. This patch aims to remedy
|
||||
the "weak" default instruments to better match the Roland Sound Canvas, most
|
||||
notably the SC-55 and SC-88. Recommended minimum setup for no note-cuts is
|
||||
ZDoom 2.8.1 with DOSBOX OPL3 emulator core, with 6 chips emulated.
|
||||
|
||||
======FAQ======
|
||||
# Why OPL3 only?
|
||||
OPL3 has four additional waveforms - Alternating Sine, Camel Sine, Square, and
|
||||
Logarithmic Square (Sawtooth). The most interesting of these is the Square wave,
|
||||
for obvious reasons! This will benefit percussion instruments immensely.
|
||||
|
||||
# What did you use for this project?
|
||||
|
||||
Hex Editors, OPL3 Bank Editor, Fraggle's Python scripts, Adlib Tracker II,
|
||||
Edlib, ADLMidi. I also used the following keyboards and devices:
|
||||
|
||||
- Yamaha PSR-3 for basic voice ideas
|
||||
- Yamaha PSS-50 for layered voice ideas
|
||||
- Yamaha DX-7
|
||||
- Commodore 64 Music Module
|
||||
- VRC7 and related chips
|
||||
- Sound Blaster 16
|
||||
- Yamaha PCI cards
|
||||
- Sounds from various SEGA MegaDrive games
|
||||
|
||||
=======WOPL FAQ=======
|
||||
# What's the difference between the WOPL version and the DMX version?
|
||||
The main difference is with a few instruments that had to be tweaked to work
|
||||
with DMX. Most of these changes are negligible for General MIDI stuff. To hear
|
||||
what I intended DMXOPL to sound like in Doom, you'll have to wait for Eternity
|
||||
Engine's ADLMIDI support to be finalized.
|
||||
|
||||
# Any plans for GS/XG support?
|
||||
Yes. This will take considerable time, and voices will be added as I come across
|
||||
them in my MIDI files. You can check the progress on those through the XG and GS
|
||||
branches that I will make (or have already made). As I think the GM set is solid
|
||||
enough now, save for just a handful of instruments, I can start work on the
|
||||
other banks.
|
||||
|
||||
# Will the WOPL version be usable on any other FM chips?
|
||||
Depends on the chip, but more than likely the answer is no. YMF262 (and the OPL*
|
||||
family for that matter) operate differently than most of the other FM chips, and
|
||||
wouldn't likely transfer over to DX-7 or other instruments without considerable
|
||||
work, if they would work at all.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
# Is the best way to listen to this really through an emulator?
|
||||
Yes, unfortunately. Unless someone makes an FM chip that can handle 128+
|
||||
channels, this is likely never to change. If you're using this in your music
|
||||
projects and you still want to use the real thing, I recommend recording one
|
||||
track at a time and throwing the result in your favorite DAW - just be sure to
|
||||
put a highpass filter set to a really low value (I recommend 5 Hz) to get rid
|
||||
of the offset garbage, lest your mix splatter like crazy.

This bank was created by Wohlstand from imported instruments from the standard
|
||||
set of insruments pre-included with GEMS program which was a official Sega
|
||||
music creation system. Original set was not GM. Therefore, imported instruments
|
||||
are was organized to provide a proper GM set.
|
||||
|
||||
Some instruments was a bit modified, some melodic instruments and percussions
|
||||
are was taken from Wohlstand's xg.wopn bank.

No-nonsense patches for YM2612.

|

== About ==
|
||||
|
||||
After much work on my DMXOPL project, I noticed that a lot of presets that
|
||||
I created were not compatible with the YM2612, which was the chip I started
|
||||
with, but quickly dropped. In response, I decided to rectify this by recreating
|
||||
the best patches from DMXOPL to OPN2 format. Don't expect miracles, as this is
|
||||
more of a learning experience so I can start working on expanding my FM synth
|
||||
knowledge.
|
||||
|
||||
I chose the name "DMX" not because it works with DMX, but that it will
|
||||
(hopefully) be of the same quality as the DMXOPL patch. Yeah, not very
|
||||
descriptive, but names aren't everything.
|
||||
|
||||
Watch this space.
