Hi,

I was getting annoyed at another project so decided to tackle one that has been on my mind. I love Music Construction Set for the IBM PC - nothing ever quite sounded as good to me except for the very few PC Speaker digitized sound demos that were out there during the BBS days. I always wanted MORE music for it but it was such a slow interface I never had the patience to load music. I am going to try to write a converter/editor but step one was understanding the format. I present here for your review, MCS-Convert version 0.1 which at the moment only plays back files. It has multiple synth modes - the first tries to replicate the 4 voice PC speaker mode. You can also choose Square, Triangle or Sine wave mode to make it sound more pleasant. It isn't perfect but it certainly works. It even has an oscilloscope view. I'd really like to get as many MCS/MCD music files as there are out there. Next step is to create an import/convert feature and make it a fully fledged editor. Let me know what you think.
