Hello! I'v got inspired by ADLMIDI program, which a MIDI player over chip emulator, and after creating the libADLMIDI I kept in my mind the idea to create similar library, but over YM2612 chip (a same chip that used in Sega MegaDrive/Genesis game console). Because the sense of any MIDI player to …

MusicallyInspired , The BNK format is supported experimentally, for now writer is works incorrectly and produces invalid bank file, also in works the support for UNIX SB/OP banks. I think, I'll ask them for specification of their bank/instrument format and I'll implement the module which will …

Bump. Some news: Now this library uses Nuked OPL emulator which is more accurate (but kept an ability to use DosBox's emulator, because most of the devices like phones are not able to run Nuked OPL emulator without lag). (just define macro "ADLMIDI_USE_DOSBOX_OPL" to build with the DosBox emulator …

I think, yea, even in ZDoom hi-hats are sounding fine and seems need a small calibration of that thing. I will add it to be macro-switchable (I using libADLMIDI also on Android phones where optimization is very recommended to don't eat CPU and battery, I built a little player for myself to listen …

Why not to take fresh assembly from hg.libsdl.org ? There are fixed all those bugs, and it must be built fine on MinGW-w64. (however, there are has tiny bug requires workaround with mmsys module because MinGW's (non w64, original MinGW) mmsys.h has some missing WinAPI structure declarations)

The sb and o3 files are just 128 SBI/2OP/4OP instrument patches concatenated together into one file, 4OP patches seem to have an addition 8 bytes than SBI/2OP patches. That sbvoice.doc file seems to be good at describing the format of the individual patches I had been using some cmf.txt document …

Any plans to support the INS/BNK format from the DOS-based Insmaker program? If you can support BNK we can use it in conjunction with SCI Companion and create patch resource files for Sierra's SCI engine for fangames much easier without needing DOSBox for Insmaker. Or for that matter, what do you …
