Change MT-32 Samplerate?

Post by noize »

Is it possible to change the samplerate for mt-32 in like 22050?
I know in dosbox it is possible, and it save a lot cpu power.
If I remember correctly it was possible one time in Scummvm, but I don't remember how.

It is certainly a variable which can be set, as well as the tuning.

Thanks!

In the readme.txt:
--output-rate=RATE Select output sample rate in Hz (e.g. 22050)
Apparently, there are no separate rate settings for different things like it is the case in DOSBox.
Btw., isn't 22050 ScummVM's defualt rate anyway?

MT-32 should be best emulated at 32000 Hz, since it's the native rate for most (maybe all) Roland devices.

Thanks for your help.

I already tried setting the standard output_rate for scummvm, but that doesn't do anything for munt
If I remember correctly, I used a seperate keyword in the scummvm.ini,
like mt32_samplerate or something.

Yes 32000 is best, and it slows my (old) system down bigtime too.

Right now ScummVM creates Waveformcache-32000-440.00.raw.
When ScummVM would use 22 khz it would be Waveformcache-22050-440.00.raw.

Unfortunately, MT-32 emulator now uses fixed output rate at 32000 hz.
Due to bugs which present in the emulator, it produces inaccurate sound other than 32000 hz.
So... It's impossible to change MT-32 output rate without editing sourcecode.
