Nightmare Doom Posted December 13, 2005 Ever since I had to wipe out everything out my computer (due to High Frequiency...and it was long ago) and reinstalled Doom, my Midi player doesn't sound as sharp as it used to be (It sounds all muffled) Here's the midi systems that I have currently have SB Audigy Synth B [DC00] SB Audigy Sw Synth [DC00] SB Audigy Synth A [DC00] Microsoft GS Wavetable SW Synth Am I missing something here? 0 Share this post Link to post
Relica Religia Posted December 13, 2005 I always found the Quicktime plugin to play the best-sounding MIDI player. 0 Share this post Link to post
wildweasel Posted December 14, 2005 Perhaps you had a soundfont installed thay you lost upon reinstalling your computer. 0 Share this post Link to post
Nightmare Doom Posted December 14, 2005 In ZDoom I have TWO Midi options that are not currenlty working. both of them are Midi Mapper Timidity **** any suggusted solutions? (or what I have to download?) 0 Share this post Link to post
andrewj Posted December 14, 2005 Midi Mapper is the Windows system, if that doesn't work, then it is a Windows problem (missing driver?). Check the control panel. For Timidity you are probably missing patches (soundfonts). Google for "timidity patches". I think they go in C:\TIMIDITY, but check the ZDOOM docs. 0 Share this post Link to post

Well can you give me some steps on how to get these Midi devices working properly? 0 Share this post Link to post
Csonicgo Posted December 14, 2005 If I recall correctly, look on your Driver CD for an 8MB sf2 file. load it in soundfont. For some godawful reason, Creative packaged the Online driver with the sorry 2MB E-MU soundfont. Ugh. 0 Share this post Link to post
rfnagel Posted December 14, 2005 As a few other folks have posted, it sounds like that you need to locate the EMU Technologies "8MBGM.SF2" SoundFont file and load it in. If you wish to play around with the Timidity support of ZDOOM, check the text file included with this ZIP -> http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/index.php?id=12527 P.S. The Gravis format patch files contained in the 8mbgmpat.zip archive were created from EMU Technologies 8MBGM.SF2 SoundFont file. 0 Share this post Link to post

Relica Religia Posted December 14, 2005 Hmm...I've never had that problem, outside of having to manually tell QT to work as a plugin for Mozilla. 0 Share this post Link to post
Nightmare Doom Posted December 14, 2005 Okay How do I load the 8MBGM.SF2 in soundfont? Edit: I also get this error when I try to open 8MBGM.SF2 The ROM samples used in your SoundFont bank are not compatible with those on your selected sound card. Playback of ROM will be disabled. 0 Share this post Link to post
