DOS Game Music

Skatoony · May 11, 2007, 09:52:27 AM

Righteo, most of you heard the One Step Beyond and Lemmings 2 music I recorded (I hope), and yesterday I recorded another game - The Humans, straight off my CM-32L again.

Here are the links to any game rips I've done:

The Humans: http://cosmic-dreams.net/music/CM-32L/Humans/ (very relaxing music I'll admit)

One Step Beyond: http://cosmic-dreams.net/music/CM-32L/OSB/

Lemmings 2: http://cosmic-dreams.net/music/CM-32L/Lemmings_2/

T.F.X (Tactical Flight eXperiment): http://cosmic-dreams.net/music/CM-32L/TFX/

Most of the T.F.X music was recorded by Talus from Kohina, but I recorded Columbia (the ogg vorbis version), Ingame 1, 3 and 5.

If anyone else wants music recorded from an MT-32/CM-32L (I have both), you're welcome to post a request here. As long as it's easy to get the music from the game (eg, via cheats or MIDI files) and it can be downloaded, I'm more than welcome to record it

Your musics are great. If you're able to record those of OSB, can you record those of Push Over as well?

It seems Push Over plays sound effects through the CM-32L, which can't be turned off (meaning I won't be able to record from the game). I'll have to search for the MIDIs, but I doubt anyone has them.

Hi Skatoony,

awesome music, especially the tracks from TFX! That's exactly how old game music should sound... catchy and with a good bunch of minor chords *grin* Thanks again!

Hey, Skatoony! Could you record the musics of Lemmings 3D please?

If you mean the CD audio, you can find all of them online on a site called (I think) KH Insider.

The only exception is that their alternate music for Maze-type levels is corrupted, so just PM me or something and I can send you the fixed version.

The Lemmings 2 music is very good, it sounds better than the original Amiga ones.

I personally would like to hear the music from SimCity 2000 on the CM-32L, the midi files are available at http://www.mirsoft.info and several other sites.

Keep it up, well done.

I said, could you record the musics, so I want to hear what it looks like in Roland straight off his CM-32L.

But thanks for the info!

The CD Audio sounds the same on any soundcard. You could also play it through a regular CD player.

SimCity 2000 appears to use a General MIDI file, which the CM-32L isn't General MIDI compatible.

I've now done Epic Pinball off my Gravis Ultrasound MAX, but I'm going to have to re-post all the recordings as directory listing has been turned off (since my domain name is now fixed).

Could you record the Supaplex song using your Roland CM-32L please? I'm just curious how it would sounds.

Skatoony · July 26, 2007, 05:30:50 AM

Sorry for the huge delay, been very busy. Yesterday my Roland CM-300 arrived, which is technically a Sound Canvas 55 in a beige box. This means I can now record the music from games that were composed on the SC-55 (most of LucasArts's games for example).

Regarding SuperPlex, I can't see any support for the MT-32/LAPC-I on it (if there is I can't get it to even work).

Another game I would like to hear improved musics: "Captive" from Mindscape. If you could, that would be really appreciated. The musics in that game, in Roland, are saved as MIDI files so, no problems there.

You can get the game here.

Btw, just curious: I realised that the instruments used for the Roland are stored in the 128th bank of the General Midi A: Synth. Is that correct?

UP! Skatoony? You're still there?

Pretty much all of the DOS songs have great sample sets. But the songs are not necessarily great...
