Any way to get MIDI output for music with Sound Blaster for voice?

[Megalonyx]

I see that the game supports Roland MT-32 output for music that will output to MIDI. Is there any way to have voice and sound effects continue to come out of the Sound Blaster while redirecting the music to the "MT-32"?

I, too, would like to do this if possible.

It is possible. but will require some tinkering with the files. Follow the guide in this link:

Thank you very much!

If you select the Soundblaster (later) option in the Darklands configuration, it has the best current sound. You can find the Darklands configuration if you right click the game Darklands in Steam.

But if you do that, you won't be able to get MT-32 music.. And i literally linked above the solution to getting both MT-32 and Sound Blaster working properly..

Oh I didn't realize, thanks for the clarification. I never messed with MT-32 before because I owned this game on the original CD before I lost it and just bought this.

On my previous PC, I tried some things to get MT-32 working, and had issues, dunno if was compatibility related or my old piece of poop sound card =\ So I've never even heard this game played in MT-32.

I just got a whole new PC 2 weeks ago, so maybe I will fare better. My old sound card was an old old soundblaster made in like 2007-2008. Now I have the new on board sound on an ASUS motherboard. It's like night and day.

Nowadays you don't need a real MT-32. There is a really great emulator called "munt" that allows you to emulate it almost perfectly. And works great with DosBox.

Again, thank you ParasiteX. I forgot to mark your answer as the answer to my question, but have done so now. You've been a wonderful helper. You're my kind of clown in this clown world.
