Subject: Information request...
GUS day, people,
Please don't flame me if I'm on the wrong digest. I really don't
know where to post this and I thought that this digest was the right one.
Can anyone tell me why MegaEM sounds so bad in the MT-32 emulation?
The SoundCanvas emulation is no problems at all. It is excellent, but the
MT-32 emulation is always based around the piano and often plays the wrong
instrument. Is it that the patch map between the MT-32 and MegaEM are
different? Well, they should not be. Since MegaEM and SCC1 match, why
not MegaEM and MT-32?
Is it because of the Sysex codes? That bring anyther question. What
_exactly_ are those Sysex codes? Is it only on the MT-32? I'd like a
full definition, please. I know that MegaEM doesn't support those sysex
codes. Some people say that they can't be emulated. Why is that? But
even if MegaEM doesn't support Sysex, it still doesn't sound right. I
have a tape of Police Quest ]I[ on the original MT- 32 and it doesn't
sound the same at all with MegaEM. The piano patch comes in too often.
Can anyone reply to my question? My email or on the digest, I don't
really care. But sending it on the digest would also help some other
people like me.
Thank you for your time.

Hello folks. This is Snowman, bringing you a contest.
Yes, you guessed it. YOU HAVE TO WRITE A SONG.
Musicians from the PC, Amiga, MacIntosh, and Atari
scenes are all encouraged to enter. The prizes are modest,
but the goal of this contest is to allow computer musicians
from all across Earth to "show their stuff."
This contest has been running for about the past two
months. Unfortunately, it did not occur to me to post the
rules into this publication until now.
THE BAD NEWS: You only have until the 31st of December
to submit your song.
THE GOOD NEWS: If you have a song already done that you
havn't released, then you are home free.
I hope that you decide to enter this contest. We can
use all the entries we can get, and it is a good chance for
up and coming musicians to be spotlighted.
---------
The Rules
---------
1. The song's uncompressed length must not be more than
300,000
bytes in length
2. The musical format can be any one of the following:
MOD: can be the 4, 6, or 8 legged variety
669: must play correctly on Composer v1.3
S3M: must play correctly on S3MPLAY v0.9b
STM: must play correctly on DMP v2.71
FAR: must play correctly on Farandole v1.00
ULT: must play correctly on Ultra Tracker v1.3
MTM: must play correctly on Multitracker v1.00b
3. All entries are to be submitted before January 1st, 1994.
4. Only one entry per person
5. Songs already released are not allowed to enter
6. The archive name must use the format:
$$FILENM.<ZIP,ARJ,LHA,LZH> -- where FILENM is your song
title.
NOTE: Unfortunately, Internet does not accept files that
start with "$$", so if you upload it to an FTP
site,
just strip the "$$". When I upload your song to a
BBS, I'll put the "$$" back in.
The file name must use the format:
$$FILENM.<MOD,669,S3M,STM,FAR,ULT,MTM> -- where FILENM is
your song title.
7. The song must have your handle and/or name in it.
8. The text file SUBMIT.TXT (included in this archive) must
be completed and included in your song's archive.
9. The song's archive may include any BBS ads, group .NFOs,
FILE_ID.DIZs, or any other such thing.
------------------------
Comments and Suggestions
------------------------
A. If you don't include your home mailing address in the
SUBMIT.TXT form, I won't be able to send you your
prize :(
B. If, for some reason, I can not download, unarchive, or
play your song correctly, it is your loss. I have
been in this racket for quite some time now and know
what I am doing, so chances are that if something is
wrong, its probably not my fault
C. Upload your song to more than one location
-------
Judging
-------
There is a commitee of 5 member who will be voting on the
songs. Here they are in no particular order:
1. Daniel Potter (author of Farandole tracker)
2. Mike Phillips (sysop of Digital Oxygene BBS)
3. Daniel Goldstein (author of MultiTracker Module
Editor)
4. Snowman (author of this contest)
5. Rob Butler (sysop of the Music Connection BBS)
Results will be gathered and posted as soon as possible
after January 1st.
------
Prizes
------
The top five winners will be mailed a HD 3.5 disk with
all of the top songs on it. Unfortunately, on a college
budget, that is about the best prize I can offer.
