Gold Rush sound

[Rudy]

Ok, so I set machine=tandy in the DOSBox settings in order to get 3 midi channels, but I just don't get that same sound as when I recorded the videos a few years ago. So eh... does anybody have any idea how I got this particular sound (hear clip below)? It's not the usual tandy sound I think. I can't remember how I did it

Don't forget that the audio for Gold Rush! does not start until well into intro. It should work fine with the SHP installer.

Tried with the SHP installer. It has the same 3 channels as when I did it directly through DOSBox, but not that particular piano sound as in the link above.

Tandy did not have a piano sound. It had 3 square wave sounds and the noise channel. The piano sound would have been manipulated, perhaps with some odd settings with ScummVM or after the fact like a MIDI dump or capture and then taken into a MIDI sequencer program to change the patch. Remember, PC Jr and Tandy predate the adoption of the General MIDI definitions.

I know. I have no idea whatsoever how I did it... Didn't use ScummVM though. Strange strange... Anyway, I pulled the songs out of the videos I made a few years ago. Not the proper way to get them, but it did the trick. The piano sounds too cool to skip it .
