Meaning I now also get speech in combination with either Sound Canvas or MT-32. The version I had originally was more limited in options, but after installing a newer setup.exe I can now select all 3 individual. That actually depends on the version of Dune 2, or the setup.exe version it seems. (It's a little bit confusing that digital samples is a 3rd category in setup and refers mainly to digitally sampled speech.) Sound Canvas VA comes with over 1,600 high-quality sounds, 64 different insert effects, global effects like reverb and EQ, and extensive sound editing capabilities.
#Roland gm sf2 series
First introduced in 1991, Roland’s Sound Canvas series has long been the de facto standard in GS sound modules, and now you can access this classic sound source as a plug-in. If you select Sound Blaster for effect it uses digital samples instead. Join Now The Gold Standard in GS Sound Modules.
#Roland gm sf2 license
License is GPLv3 or later with exception. Could be useful to make an SC-88Pro or MT-32 compatible soundfont with.
#Roland gm sf2 Patch
If you select SC as effect device the game sends special GS effects to Channel 16. This patch was made using only non-Roland samples with Stgiga Hidef's MT-32 portion being a reference. The problem is when you select SC as an effect device and your soundfont is only GM compatible (so it misses special effects such as Machine Gun, Explosion, Door etc). Even in case of Dune 2 if you select Sound Canvas as music device a GM only soundfont produce satisfactory result. For 99% of games even if they list Sound Canvas as possible music device usually it simply means GM.
Dune 2 is a bit strange in this regard, where it has Sound Canvas instead, which means something like a Roland SC-55, SC-88 or SCC-I.ĭune 2 is special in the sense that it supports Sound Canvas not only as a music device but also as an effect device.
It all depends on the game, generally speaking for games is this era, if it supports MT-32 it will also have General MIDI. Roland SC-88 Samples The Roland SoundCanvas SC-88 is a rompler based on General MIDI and Roland GS sound sets. You can select either MT-32 or Sound Canvas for MIDI options. While Doom, for example, offers both.ĭune 2 does not have a General MIDI option. Or is there some other factor that needs to be taken into account?Īlso, I just noticed that Dune 2 only offers Sound Canvas but not General MIDI in its setup. But if you choose "General MIDI" instead, the game will only use GM. DLS/SF2 is a family of standardized file formats for digital musical instrument sound banks (collections of virtual musical instrument programs). You can upload your own synthesizer sound library files in a format called DLS or SF2.
So it's not GS compatible at all, it can only be used by titles using only GM instruments.Īm I correct in assuming that if you run setup.exe of a game and choose "Roland Sound Canvas" as a music device, the game will try to use GS. Uploading DLS/SF2 files to Sweet MIDI Player for iOS. Th problem is Patch93's SC-55 soundfont contains only the so called capital tones (meaning no variation tones, only bank 0 is implemented).
