I've got an SC-88 (non-pro, as I just wanted something that was an SC-55MkII or newer), and love it for old DOS games.

I think the best-sounding game on the SC-88 in SC-88 mode (as opposed to SC-55 mode) that I've encountered is Descent.

Ah, yes, Descent. Add a good, deep-sounding sub-woofer with the Sound Canvas setup while playing Descent / Descent II, and you'll really "feel" the game.

Download the shareware version. Not very hard to find on a Google search 😀

Done, currently installing in dosbox. 😀

Cool, let us know what you think 😀

I'd like to hear how Blackthorne sounds on this. I'm not sure what soundcard the game was originally composed for, but I suspect it's SC-55 or SC-88.

There's a demo here.

Would be mostly interested in the title, intro and first level.

Sounds nice.

I always forget about Blackthorne. I always figured Blizzard ripped off Flashback to make it, around the same time they ripped off Dune 2 to make Warcraft 1. Not that their games weren't good though 😀

What's that strange noise? Oh, that's my saliva dropping 😁

You've got some really cool hardware there 😀

Damn, I had forgotten how good Blackthorne sounded. Think you could perhaps do System Shock next?

It sounds weird with a DB50-XG ... 🤣

edit , found why
for some reason the music at the cinematic intro does not work with a p1/200 , you need to use a slowdown utility to make it work... but then you have music playing sloooow ... the p1's default speed is too much apparently and the music sounds weird because it plays faster ... meh

I've played System Shock 1 on my SC-88. It sounds dramatically different in SC-88 mode than it does in SC-55MkII mode. I can't remember which I preferred in the end.

@keropi: I don't know what sprcorreia's setup is, but I use my synths with DOSBox and Windows 7, via a USB-MIDI adapter cable.

For video grabbing i use my modern PC running DOSBox, Fraps, a Roland UM-ONE adapter and the Roland MT-32, SC-155 and SC-88 Pro.

Looks like the UM-ONE might be pretty new? I bought an older-generation M-Audio MIDISPORT Uno, but I briefly replaced it with a EMU (Creative) Xmidi 1x1 Tab because M-Audio was taking forever to release 64-bit Windows 7/Vista drivers.

Unfortunately, the Xmidi had issues passing SysEx properly to my MT-32. Fortunately, M-Audio finally released their Uno drivers by the time I realized what was going on, so I was able to switch back. The Uno works perfectly as far as I can tell, and Creative still wants me to jump through hoops to prove to them that the Xmidi is broken.

Yes, it's recent and a bit expensive, but i can't complain. It worked flawless since i got it.

Looks like it sells on Amazon for a similar price to the two USB MIDI interfaces I have.
