Hi,
> What do we need to lock on to FreeSCI a MT-32 emulator?
That depends on whether you want a complete software synthesizer with all
of the MT-32's features, timidity running MT-32 patches, or MT-32 to GM
mappings.
Rickard did an excellent job on the MT-32 to GM mapping code, and I'm
pretty sure it will end up in his new sound code eventually.
Getting timidity to run MT-32 patches won't result in a precise emulation,
besides, it's very unlikely that Roland will allow the actual patches to
be distributed (at least that's what a german Roland representative told
me). As for writing a complete software synthesizer: I'm not sure if we
have all of the information we'd need for that, and we'd still have to get
hold od the MT-32 patches (or something sounding very similar to them).
llap,
Christoph
