Hardware support #58

Open redraw opened 5 years ago

redraw commented 5 years ago

Is there any plan to support real OPL3 hardware? I was thinking about Freq Monster 801 (http://fm801.kewl.org/app/screenshots/) that can switch between engines (emulator or hardware), but yours looks modern, and already includes very handy instrument banks :)

Thanks! I'm testing it and works great

Hi @redraw.

It's within the realm of possibility, and there exists already an implementation of this kind in OPL Bank Editor.

What OS platform is it? there exist support drivers for Win9x and modern Windows, but most of machines having OPL sound chip are running 9x.

This plugin is restricted to not being Win9x compatible, unfortunately, unlike the BankEditor. (https://github.com/Wohlstand/OPL3BankEditor)
