Here are recordings from a range of titles all using the GUD v1 Soundbank for the X2 Dreamblaster. I’ll soon update the X2 to the newer v1.04 GUD sound bank and record new versions for comparison. All the tracks are recorded from a ESS Audiodrive with the X2 attached to the wavetable header using Audacity.

Recordings from the X2 Dreamblaster - Update GUD Beta v0.7

By Will Comments Off on Recordings from the X2 Dreamblaster - Update GUD Beta v0.7

Two more recordings from the Dreamblaster X2, using the new GUD Beta v0.7 sound bank and Preset Audit v2 for levels.

Track one is Duke Nukem 3D’s title song ‘Grab Bag’ and track two is Doom’s E1M1 song ‘At Doom’s Gate’.

This update brings the following changes to v0.6.

 
 

  • Reduced dynamics floor to -36dB on all 128 instruments for more modern, compressed sound. It sounds better on low levels when gaming.
  • Corrected “D149-Crash Lower” and “D157-Crash” volume/velocity curves. Crash now hearable in Doom.
  • Corrected “118-Synth Drum” Synth Drum tuning
  • Corrected “98-Crystal SFX” Crystal tuning
  • Corrected “77-shakuchachi” sample start, volume and tuning
  • Corrected “73-flute” sample start, volume and tuning
  • Corrected “78-Irish Thin Whistle” sample start, volume and tuning.
