Thanks. I tried it but can't manage to get it work in WinCoupe (I need to test i there). Whenever I start playback, the message "press symbol to exit" shortly appears and then it immediately closes (going back to main menu), like I presses symbol shift. But I don't press anything.
Other MIDI program "MIDI Sequencer" works in WinCoupe, but there are some other problems with it. I'd like to know whether the emulation isn't correct, or the original program is ehmm... not-very-good. It takes over 10 seconds to redraw whole screen in edit mode, and whenever I start playback a very loud "home-less" tone is generated before starting the actual playback. Also, I think it wouldn't be very clever to use MIDI simulator in DOS, because it would degrade digital-audio playback quality. Of course, this doesn't affect using real MIDI devices like MPU401. Adding MIDI interrupts for demos gives more sense. I'd like to see it. Please could you tell me where can I get those demos? Note: PAL speed is 1/64MHz. MIDI speed is 1/32MHz. It means that 2 bits are transmitted per line. Am I right? How many bits are transmitted to complete one byte? If you say interrupt is generated 5 lines after issuing MIDI out, it means that one or two (start/)stop bits are added to each byte. I assume MIDI out interrupts are generated on line basis, exactly as the line and frame interrupts. Am I right? (Simon?)
