In the words of H.P Baxxter, "I feel hardcore." And there I thought that America would be spared. "Lyrics" that terrible have a sort of universal notoriety.  |

Cool,
I got a boxed adlib with everything as well (the 1987 version), which version is yours?
I also recently acquired a 1990 adlib soundcard, but without anything else, just the bare card.

I still need to scan the Ad Lib and Ad Lib Gold documentation at some point. I don't suppose anyone has the Visual Composer manual...?

I'm not sure, it could be in one of the boxes but I am unable to reach it at this moment, it's hidden deep somewhere in the basement with loads of trash thrown over it. Once I'm going to move I will try to find it.

I own a Mozart WaveTable and it also utilizes an OPL4 with the 2 MB ROM from Yamaha (no RAM). The driver looks identical. It allows switching MIDI tracks from PCM to FM, but how did you played the 44 voice files? Though I doubt that there is much use in replacing Wavetable-Synthesized MIDI Tracks with FM-Synthesized. My overall impression is, that the Wavetable doesn't sound too bad. |

The 44-voice files were played-back using the MediaTrix Jukebox. According to WHATSNEW.TXT, in the driver archive, "Game developers and amateur musicians take note ! Only the Jukebox for Windows is able to play these 44 voice compositions." |

I'm working on scanning Ad Lib documentation. Does anyone have Composition Projects #2, or the MSC Programmer's Manual?

One of the few pieces of software missing from the parent post is Ad Lib's "Music Championship #1". I was asked about it a few months ago, but haven't had any luck tracking it down. Apparently, it was available on at least one BBS, way back in the day...
If anyone happens to come across this program, can you please let me know?

Hi !
Is there a way to get only the drums pcm samples from the Adlib Gold, in order to make a simple drumkit with my favorite sampler.
Thx
