ZDoom OPL emulator in VST plugin

[bsa]

Hi all. Hope this is the write section for this. I tried to find a way of contacting Randi directly, but I couldn't..

Just wanted to mention that I've used the ZDoom OPL emulation code in a VST plugin:

I don't think there are any licensing or other issues, but if there are, please let me know.

It can also be used to compare side-by-side with the DOSBox emulator.

Isn't ZDoom's OPL emulator actually the one from MAME? Correct me if I'm wrong...

HOLY SHIT I was LITERALLY thinking about this the other day. I was wondering if there was a way to write music with OPL sounds. And THANK YOU for making a 64 bit VST too. I LOVE YOU! XD

AdlibTracker? :V

I need a VST plugin so that I can use it with my DAW in the studio.

We got three different [wiki]OPL[/wiki] cores. One is from MAME. The others are from ADLIBEMU through DOSBox and from a Java app.

Looking at the code on Github, it's the Java core that is used, so it's more properly "That Vintage Tone" OPL rather than ZDoom OPL.

That's right, it's the one ported from Java. Be interested to hear any tunes people come up with.

It would be awesome to be able to do the reverse, a VST plugin that supports GM (say Hypersonic) to act as a midi controller.

Edit: This works!

Cool. Yeah, that emulator is LGPL, so you're free to reuse it for whatever you want.
