FM Midi Synth driver Version 2.14 Copyright (c) 1993-1995 by Jamie O'Connell The FM MIDI Synth driver is a replacement driver for sound cards that implement FM synthesis. It features an extensive MIDI implementation as well as support for loadable instrument banks and a Control Panel applet for run-time configuration of driver parameters. It is designed to work with as many different sound cards from various manufacturers as possible. Version 2.12 New Things: New voice allocation - A new algorithm has been implemented, that chooses the oldest "off" voice when picking the next free voice to use. Version 2.10 New Things: Multiple Driver Openings - Several programs can now share FM Synth Support for Channel and Key Aftertouch More efficient MIDI handling - The driver's response has been improved while the run-time size has been reduced. New Percussion Algorithm - Better sounding percussion Some Patches Revised - Certain Instruments have been improved. New Help File - The FM Synth help file has been expanded and enhanced, thanks to Jerry Jorgenrud CIS [75060,1040]. Optional MIDI Mapper Setup - The driver installation offers to automatically add a new MIDI Mapper setup, while preserving any existing Mapper setup.
