Hairy...

Thanks for explaining that, @TheUltimateDoomer666. Much obliged.

GS was never advertised on the box or in the software - only General MIDI.

My new Hard Rock / Heavy Metal single, "Geisterwolken," will be released in two weeks time (Friday, May 6th) on Bandcamp, Amazon, Spotify, and all major streaming platforms. Until then, here's a sneak preview of the cover art for the song, as done by webcomic artist extraordinaire Kittyhawk ( https://montrose.is ):

Unfortunately, they do just play the same GM versions for both. GS required Sysex messages, and the Apogee Sound System did not support Sysex, so no GS.

Oops - got the date wrong. I signed up on the 19th. Oh, well. Missed it by 2 days. Go figure.

If you're talking about the ones on YouTube, those are done by a private person and don't involve GS to my knowledge. I wrote in General MIDI mode. Couldn't use any SC-XX-specific tricks. Although, when I was listening, I had the SC-88 in its native mode.

IndyCar.com has posted a recap of day 2 of the Indy Open Test: https://www.indycar.com/News/2022/04/04-21-OpenTest-Lead Josef Newgarden topped the chart with a fast lap of 229.519 mph.

BTW, this is my One Year Doomworld Anniversary. I signed up on April 21st, 2021. Cheers.

I don't have my original SC-88 - that remained at 3D Realms when we parted ways. I've since purchased an SC-88Pro from Japan and use it for writing my commissions. I have no idea how long they last, but I take very good care of my SC-88Pro, just in case. BTW, my SC-88Pro has recently been joined by a Yamaha MU100, so now I have both full GS and XG capabilities for doing commissions. In case anyone is interested. :)

Captain Pompadour?

Not all the way through. Like I said, I have an SC-88/SC-88Pro bias, since that's what I have had access to. I've had no need to listen to the SC-55 versions of my songs. Still don't, to be honest.

That's correct. I would compose my songs for ROTT on whatever soundcard du jour I had, and I would then bring them in for approval by Tom Hall, the project director. He would listen to them on his Roland SCC-1, a General MIDI card. So, in a sense, you could say ROTT was sort-of written for the SCC-1, indirectly speaking. ;)

Toe surgery went well, but recovery was hell. My right arm acted up again. They gave me a milligram of Dilaudid for the pain. That helped, some. Enough hospitals for a little while, please.

See above. I think I'd outgrew my RAP-10 when I began working on the Duke Nukem 3D soundtrack.

I've never owned nor had access to an SC-55 in my life. I've had a RAP-10, an SCC-1, and an SC-88. Some of ROTT was done using the RAP-10. Most of Duke Nukem 3D was done on the SC-88.

Time again for the hospital. Today I go in for the left big toe surgery I've mentioned previously. Should be relatively easy, but nothing has been easy lately. I can use all the luck I can get. Please wish me some.
