Hello!
as per title, is there a game that uses both MIDI and FM at the same time? Not one or another but both at the same time, maybe playing midi music and opl2 sfx?
thanks!

Zeliard can be configured in this manner.
^ thanks for the info this will do just fine 😀

Not at all. A complete copy of Zeliard should contain the following music drivers:
And the following sound-effect drivers:
The combination of Ad Lib music and PCjr/Tandy sound-effects is particularly nice.
Zeliard is indeed an interesting game, both in terms of music and technology.
I once used it for testing my home made Covox Speech Thing clones and Temu (that's a Tandy 3-Voice emulator).
If memory serves, there's a key combo to enabled/disable "multi-channel" PC-Speaker music if PC-Speaker is selected for music.
Another musically interesting game is Silpheed. Some tracks (musical scores) are really good IMHO.. 😀

Dune 2 can do this with a patch (It's how I configure it).
Raptor can do this as well as Doom engine games with some modification. All these games use DMX sound library
every game that allows configuring sound device separately for sound and music 😉
Any game using the IBM Music Feature Card or Yamaha FB-01 uses MIDI and FM at the same time, given that they are both MIDI-based FM synthesizers 😀

Then hundreds of games use MIDI and FM at the same time, as most middleware libraries like Miles Sound System or HMI SOS convert MIDI to FM in real time.
