It uses intelligent mode(see a topic in this forum section).
This was implemented to work with all programs(games) I was able to find that use it.
For now you can't do much, except provide that program if possible, so we could test it and (try to) improve emulation.

Ok ... fine the program is attached. I am availanle on my hotmail at any time.
To open type "tx" <enter>
I have also attached the help file with all key controls listed.
"P" = play ,as does the space bar.

Help file attached to next post reply
thanks

Help file for texture attached

Sorry ... you will need this song file to test
Place in the same dir as app ... in texture type "ff" then enter which will load song file.
Only two modes in this program access either by "tab" key
Go to track "T"
pressing the "v" key will open track to notes
Curser up & down should play a sound.
Pressing "P" should play pattern in real time, .....which sadly does not happen at this time..
Thanks again, I think you have all you need to test this

Please in the future note that you can attach more than one file to a post.

Fixed. With a couple of other mpu-401 bugs.
Changes will probably be in CVS in near future. In the meantime, here is updated win32 exe.

How did this get moved to MT-32? This is not MT-32. Putting back where it was.

Srecko, is this a CVS build, or just those specific changes applied to the 0.63 base build, or some other WIP build or what?

*hides*

EDIT: I see some mpu-401 changes in the CVS tree, which I guess answers my question 😀 Doesn't look like the devs have had much time to work on DOSBox since 0.63 🙁

Snover, it wasn't moved. It was a double post.

It's a CVS but doesn't contain all of the very latest changes.
It should be compatible with 0.63 config and libs.
Here's also libpng.dll and pdcurses.dll for it.

Btw. it also includes munt 0.1.2 (to use set MIDI driver to mt32 and place two ROMs in working dir).

Thank you all gentlemen,
Texture is now up and running and being viewed for the first time in colour.
It came out around 1982, and I have been using it daily since 1984 on a 286 Laptop
I am very grateful

Are you able to get MIDI *in* to it as well as playback?

I am using SPG and I cant get MIDI IN to work,

Hi Dbarton,
What is "SPG"?
I am not fully finished as the whole thing has to be used on a new Laptop, which I am told is still a few months away. The present setup appears to work midi in and out with texture, but I still have a problem with the memory resident app "Superkey".

SPG is Seqeuncer Plus Gold, by Voyetra.
Same era as Texture.

Did you need to set anything special to get MIDI in?

Any chance we can review your settings to see what I may be doing differently? You are my only hope. 😀

In the meantimne, heres what my dosbox.conf seem to contain in regard to midi..

[midi]
# mpu401 -- Enable MPU-401 Emulation.
# intelligent -- Operate in Intelligent mode.
# device -- Device that will receive the MIDI data from MPU-401.
# This can be default,alsa,oss,win32,coreaudio,none.
# config -- Special configuration options for the device.

mpu401=true
intelligent=TRUE
device=default
config=

BTW, Superkey seems to run fine for me under XP. What issue are you having?

Does Texture work with midi in in dosbox? Sorry for asking after 11 years. But Roger Powell made a new album after 26 years. 😀

What brought me here? Midi sequencers like Atari ST Notator, Texture, Opcode Studio Vision, all having original design principles, pattern workflow, pattern in pattern, arranging from patterns...

I dont think the release versions of DOSbox support MIDI input even now 11 years later.

NEcroposting is bad also..

But there is a search function. Necro exists only in your brain.

Say that to moderators or start a new thread.
