Re: Mockingboard

Or, since MIDI is already a merged stream of note beginning and ending
times, it would be more straightforward (and maybe just as easy) to
simply write a "player" for MIDI files that would read in a MIDI file
and stuff Mockingboard registers directly--or, better, construct a
circular buffer of registers to stuff under IRQ control.

it might be easier to write a player, but I think real-time conversion
will
tax the CPU too much in a game.

do you have in your notes a "disassembled" MIDI file, commented?

IE:

pos in file MIDI FILE DATA what it is
+00 $08 header,
indicates ?tracks? in file
+01 header,
indicates ?voices? in file
+02
+03
+04 $45 start of music
data, play note = 45
+05 $56
stop note = 45

If you have anything like this from your work with the converter,
it would be extremely helpful.
