Title : DMXOPL v2.10
Filename : DMXOPL.ZIP
Release date : November 27, 2017
Author : ConSiGno
Email Address : [redacted]
Misc. Author Info : OPL Goddess.
Description : This is a GENMIDI patch for DMX for OPL3 FM
synthesis. This patch aims to remedy the "weak"
default instruments to better match the Roland
Sound Canvas, most notably the SC-55 and SC-88.
Recommended minimum setup for no note-cuts is
ZDoom 2.8.1 with DOSBOX OPL3 emulator core,
with 6 chips emulated. See the README for
additional details.

Known Bugs : Due to the number of pseudo 4-op voices, certain
notes may cut sooner than they would have using
the stock patches. Most of Doom and Doom 2 play
just fine. Depending on your CPU, there may be
skips in the sound due to buffer underrun, as
this patch takes more channels than the stock
GENMIDI.
May Not Run With : Recent dev builds of GZDoom have broken OPL3
support as of this writing.
Tested With : ZDoom 2.8.1, Chocolate Doom, Vanilla Doom, ADLMidi
