I've recently been trying to get a midi setup going for some dos games like Doom, Hexen, and so on. I'm not sure if this is the infamous hanging note bug as I haven't been able to find any good example audio/video.
I'm using a Yamaha PSR 260 keyboard until my SC-55 comes in the mail.
It seems that almost immediately, when starting doom a chord plays and gets stuck, but music will keep playing along with it. It continues onto the first level. I can turn the keyboard off and on and it goes away but the instruments are wrong when it comes back on. If I pause the game the note keeps playing. If I exit the game the note keeps playing. If I start another game it keeps playing. If I reboot it keeps playing. The only way to make it stop is to turn off the keyboard.
I've tried using PC Speaker or no sound and have the exact same results.
I have tried with two different sound cards and gotten the same results.
Media Magic ISP 16
Sound Blaster CT1770 SCSI (v4.13)
I don't know if this is a problem with my keyboard or the hanging note bug. It doesn't seem to happen with King's Quest 6 (dos). Midi playback in Windows 3.11 is also fine.
Is it time for an AWE64?
