TexElec AdLib clone WfW 3.11 MIDI Mapper

[Louis Ohland]

My guess is that AdLib is included with the supplied WfW drivers?

Q85179: Use Adlib MIDI Map with Sound Blaster Internal Synthesizer


RESOLUTION
==========

You must select "Adlib" or "Adlib general" in the MIDI Mapper.

1. From the Control Panel, run MIDI Mapper.
2. Set the Name to Adlib or Adlib General.
3. Save your changes and restart Windows.

Coincidence you posted this, having an issue getting it to work in WFW.

There simply is no midi mapper option in the control panel for me. I got the AdLib driver installed (the one that comes with WFW3.11) and it's not there...

[Louis Ohland]

Banging my head on the MIDI mapper over on VCF.

I haven't seen any mention of it yet on Gurgle.

YM3812 and "MIDI mapper" -MIGHT- be a good search term. Must surf...

Hmmm.

1) You're trying to use it as a sound (music) device in games, and want
the most authentic playback possible. Either you have to find old
hardware and old software and make it all work, or you're trying to get
old software to work on new hardware -- which is an entirely different
set of problems.

If this is what you're trying to do, then MIDI has nothing to do with
it. The OPL synths on old soundcards (Ad-Lib, SB, and various clones)
were not MIDI devices. They were programmed as a raw synthesizer. True,
the music data may be stored as MIDI in the game, but the game's music
driver took those MIDI commands and translated them to OPL instructions.
This is process that is unique to each driver, if not each game, so no
external box can do this correctly unless it is exposed to the computer
the exact same way an actual Ad-Lib / SB is -- raw I/O and IRQs, etc.
MIDI won't work. It's the wrong protocol for this job.

Please note, this card will not playback wav/digital files, it is an FM
synthesis card only. The OPL3 is the sole provider of sound.

So. CAN the YMF262 do MIDI in this implementation?

Depends on what exactly you mean by MIDI. With the right software the
OPL3 chip can be used to synthesize MIDI files, but that's pretty much
it. The chip itself has nothing to do with MIDI (and the same is true
for the AdLib card), it doesn't have any MIDI capabilities.

[Louis Ohland]

Major Tom, as I look for YMF262 and MIDI, there doesn't seem to be much
mention of MIDI.

Yes, because the two are pretty much unrelated (and you should be
searching for "OPL3", "OPL2", "OPL" or AdLib", it will likely give you
more results).

Now, the chip can do one thing only: FM synthesis. Everything else has
to be done in software.

AdLib/OPL was mostly used in games. Many DOS games had native support
for AdLib, and used it for music playback (not MIDI really).

If you want to use OPL to play MIDI files, you have few options. There
are standalone DOS MIDI players that support the chip, and iirc even
some TSR "drivers". Windows 3.1x also supported MIDI playback through
AdLib (I think the driver came with the system itself). The playback
isn't perfect but it's better than nothing...

Heck, you can even play digital audio through OPL! The quality is
piss-poor, all the way down there with the PC Squeaker driver, but it
works... sort of.

But if you want real MIDI compatibility or communicate with another MIDI
device you are out of luck. Many later sound cards had this capability,
but it was a completely separate thing, unrelated to the OPL FM synthesizer.

[Louis Ohland]

Tom, I did search for OPL3, OPL, Adlib -AND- MIDI.

Not many useful hits...

Methinks "FM Synthesis" is what the Resound/2 should use. The ADF is
pretty sparse, no mention of DMA or IRQ... What would real MIDI require?

That's because classic AdLib doesn't use either.

Well, iirc the original PC-Bus AdLib had some sort of IRQ selection, but
it wasn't populated from the factory and I don't think any software used
it for that reason. That means you had to poll the card (and it's also
the reason why you can often hear periodic pops when using the card...).

They probably dropped the IRQ lines altogether with the MCA version, but
I'm not 100% sure about it.

[WBSTClarke]

1) Yes, the Adlib/Resound 2 are Frequency Modulation Synthesizers *ONLY*.
2) The usual port range for OPL2/OPL3 chips is 338h-33Fh.
3) Adapters/cards with MIDI Out ports usually have 330h-337?h assigned for that capability.

[No Deal]

So it sounds like i'm screwed? Darn.

[Louis Ohland]

Well, there's a good kind and a bad kind.


What is the issue? If it was just a DOS game, shell out to the command
line and run it.

WHAT will not give you sound under WfW?

Prosound, a midi sythesizing application for starters.
Gotta try some games for Windows.

Check your .INI files (WIN.INI and SYSTEM.INI) for the midi=drivername.DRV, wave=drivername.DRV and aux=drivername.DRV plus the [386Enh] section of SYSTEM.INI for any drivername.386 related virtual device driver(s). The names ought to be easily identifiable.

Wonder if I'd have any more luck with Windows 95.

Oh yeah here's a screenshot of the control panel.

Double-click the Settings - Drivers icon and look very hard? (i.e. scroll thorough the Windows-supplied drivers to install). You should find both M$'s Adlib and MIDI mapper in there. I don't have the installation sequence down pat to be able to give you a blow by blow.

Prosound, a midi sythesizing application for starters.
Gotta try some games for Windows.

Check your .INI files (WIN.INI and SYSTEM.INI) for the midi=drivername.DRV, wave=drivername.DRV and aux=drivername.DRV plus the [386Enh] section of SYSTEM.INI for any drivername.386 related virtual device driver(s). The names ought to be easily identifiable.

No midimap.cfg I dont think, that could have been the problem. I got so frustrated I just installed Windows 95 and used it's Adlib Gold compatible drivers and boom works no issues. Hooraaaay

In Windows, you select "FM synthesis" for MIDI and Windows will do the
rest. The media player can play MIDI files using the OPL3 then with no
additional drivers or software required. That works since Win3.1 up to
XP at least.
