The creator of Moonblaster for Moonsound used a PC with an
OPL-4 in it to get the patch information from it. It took him very
much time. Unfortunatly, there seem to be some errors in the
table. Without the documentation from Yamaha about the
contents of the ROM it is VERY hard to find these errors.
Some samples in the ROM are used for different instruments
with different frequency constants.
There are some drivers on a PC written by Yamaha that are
using the patch table in a correct way, but it I am not capable
to reverse engineer them. If someone is able to do it, please
go on!
By the way, I have started to make a new midi player for the
moonsound that uses the midi driver I have made a long time
ago for the Moonsound. (can take a long time to finish, I have
other things to do) (I has the same patch table as Moonblaster
uses, with the same problems, especially withdual tone patches)
