Today i thought that it would be cool to record some tunes with the MT-32. I played Transport Tycoon, as the tunes are really wonderful, and there is a jukebox ingame with titles so it's quite easy. But i realised that there are weird stuff : the slides and vibrato sound all off tune. I don't know if it's supposed to be like this with all MT-32, or if it's something due to my poor soundcard (Soundblster Pro clone).
If someone already tried this game with MT-32, let me know. I won't record or uplaod more tunes from this game for the moment ... |

Hm, does this game 'natively' support the MT-32, or does it just pass General MIDI to it? It seems to be a rather old game to properly support the MT-32.

TT has "real" Roland support 
It's from 1994 so i dont think it is too old for MT-32. I can check out the game later using Dosbox and see how it sound for me

Wait a minute.. you mean TTD?
TTD does not have "real" Roland support... i checked the game folder and the only "real" support would be AWE32, FM and General Midi. |

Okay, it seems Transport Tycoon's MIDI tracks were originally composed on the Sound Canvas 55. I've played some of the music back on my CM-300, and they sound very balanced - they don't have the pitch bend problems as the MT-32 does. The MT-32 most likely just got a quick port.
I'll try and get some of the tracks recorded. |

Ok, here's 'Small Town' from my CM-300.
http://cosmic-dreams.net/music/pc/transport_tycoon/16_-_Small_Town.flac I'll try to get around to recording the others, but it may be a few days since I've got my computer's upgrade arriving tomorrow.

Ahh i forget to say that it's Deluxe version of Transport Tycoon. It was published a bit later, it has Roland MT-32 in sound option, and it's on the list of games released for compatibility with MT-32. Small town is one of the tracks i recorded yesterday if i remember. I'll compare with my version as soon as i go back home. Thx !

Haha you damn audiophiles, a flac, that's huge  OK, downloading ... listening now ...
In your file everything is OK, like in the original version. The solo sounds good (from 01:49), while it's totally ruined in my MT-32 version, like if the guy playing the solo was drunk
