Description

Brandon Blume's Yamaha FB-01IMF Sound Tools Utilities converts patch banks for SCI0 and SCI1 games to support the Yamaha FB-01/IBM Music Feature Card. These work similarly to NRS's Bnk2Pat, Pat2Bnk, and Syx2Pat which works with Adlib and MT-32 patch banks. Now we have tools for the FB-01 as well! For those who don't know, the FB-01/IMF is an FM synth generator module/card similar to Adlib but works in a different way. Only the early Sierra games support it (up to QFG2 and KQ5). I've written these tools because I'm trying to support the FB-01 for Doan's Betrayed Alliance Book 1 and Book 2 games since they're both made in SCI0. Yamaha FB-01IMF Sound Tools is currently maintained by Brandon Blume.


Features

SCI2FB

Converts SCI FB-01/IMF patch bank resources to the FB-01's sysex bank file for use with the FB-01 (or an emulator) and software so you can capture the instruments from Sierra games

FB2SCI

Converts two FB-01 sysex bank files into one SCI patch bank resource file. You can create custom banks for custom SCI games (or even Sierra SC0/SCI1 games that don't have official FB-01/IMF support).
