\subsection{Playing sound with Native MIDI}
|
|
% FIXME: Hardcoding < and > here produces wrong output
|
|
Use the appropriate -e<mode> command line option from the list above to
|
|
select your preferred MIDI device. For example, if you wish to use the
|
|
Windows MIDI driver, use the -ewindows option.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{Using MIDI options to customize Native MIDI output}
|
|
ScummVM supports a variety of MIDI modes, depending on the capabilities
|
|
of your MIDI device.
|
|
|
|
If --native-mt32 is specified, ScummVM will treat your device as a real
|
|
MT-32. Because the instrument mappings and system exclusive commands of
|
|
the MT-32 vary from those of General MIDI devices, you should only
|
|
enable this option if you are using an actual Roland MT-32, LAPC-I, CM-64,
|
|
CM-32L, CM-500, or GS device with an MT-32 map.
|
|
|
|
If --enable-gs is specified, ScummVM will initialize your GS-compatible
|
|
device with settings that mimic the MT-32's reverb, (lack of) chorus,
|
|
pitch bend sensitivity, etc. If it is specified in conjunction with
|
|
--native-mt32, ScummVM will select the MT-32-compatible map and drumset on
|
|
your GS device. This setting works better than default GM or GS emulation
|
|
with games that do not have custom instrument mappings (Loom and Monkey1).
|
|
You should only specify both settings if you are using a GS device that
|
|
has an MT-32 map, such as an SC-55, SC-88, SC-88 Pro, SC-8820, SC-8850, etc.
|
|
Please note that --enable-gs is automatically disabled in both DOTT and
|
|
Samnmax, since they use General MIDI natively.
|
|
|
|
If neither of the above settings is enabled, ScummVM will initialize your
|
|
device in General MIDI mode and use GM emulation in games with MT-32
|
|
soundtracks.
|
|
|
|
Some games contain sound effects that are exclusive to the Adlib soundtrack.
|
|
For these games, you may wish to specify --multi-midi in order to combine
|
|
MIDI music with Adlib sound effects.
