Is there any way to play midi files (using the WinMCI stuff) using DX-WaveTables (or better known as M$-Wavetable instead of the table used on the soundcard? This would solve

I think you have to use DirectMusic and/or DLS, whatever that is. Check at msdn.microsoft.com and:

Or check if you have installed the Microsoft GS Wavetable SW Synth as a MIDI device, so you can select it and use it directly without DirectX programming (puag!)

If you want free one, go to [url]http://www.mikmod.org,[/url] grab the wip, and compile a working DLL.
However, You need VC++6to do this.
But XM is better for music.

Well, everyone needs to do something for living.

Hi Hitman
Sorry, maybe you have read on the forum that i coded a 32k game... to use/include a mod (chiptune) would be explode the filesize and then you need the external fmod.dll this all would be bigger as 32k at all... So i have to use midi first, until i will code an own sound system with own sample generation... :wink: I know, Mod is better as midi.. best is to use MP3, hehe... Anyway thanks...
