MIDIbox FM without sample-playback


Green Xenon

Recommended Posts

Hi:

MBFM has uses a wavetable sequencer. Does this mean it sounds significantly different from OPL3? OPL3 uses pure FM.

Also, is there a way to disable the sample-playback and just use the FM?

I have an SB16 ISA card with OPL3, I like playing MIDIs through it. Will those MIDIs sound the same if I play them through MBFM. I hope so.

Thanks a bunch,

Green

MBFM sounds *just* like OPL3, cause it is nothing more like an OPL3 chip with additional hardware and software. Wavetable sequencer has nothing common with wavetable synthesis, it's just a sophisticated tracker-like modulation source that makes possible to change every parameter stepwise. So there's no sample playback available at all.
