- Hello everyone!
-
- Here is some anwers, thoughts and conclusion about this disscusion
- about musica and midi etc.
-
- <Synths? Wasn't this sound ID mapping supposed to happen in the
- <midi player routine?
-
- You could have sound ID in the program, so you for example choose
- your instruments for the different channels via a gem program that
- saves to the midi player routine and you could do it on your synth.
- one thing I do know by experience is that you MUST have some sort of
- selection, because you can┤t have the program preinstalled to play on
- certain midi channels with certain sounds, because if you have that
- all people that have inserted new sounds to their synths or don┤t
- have an general midi module. One thing more we cant have the original
- music from doom if we aren┤t willing to pay the fee for that (anybody
- with big pockets??). About midi quitars I say its like looking to
- porno movie instead of having a real girl in your bed. But for playing
- horns and things like that it┤s excellent! As for Doom midi player
- it probably uses the soundcards midisounds, wich isn┤t a midi
- standard and do not have the smae mapping as ordinary midifiles.
-
- As for the drawback on networking aginst midi I just say: it is a
- option, you can have midi while you┤re alone and not when playing
- deathmatches, simple isn┤t it? As for the priority I can see that
- there is a lot of other things that have more priority, but since I┤m
- not a star assembler coder and my frien probably can make the
- necessary routines for the midi, I don┤t think it will hurt anyone to
- have this option included. And we do need music for the intro etc.
- wich I happilly would contribute to do and if you like you take my
- music otherwise throw it in the trash can:-) Ofcourse I hope you like
- it.... and I will convert one of my songs that I think could fit in
- Bad Mood to a mod, so you can hear if it┤s worth the effort for me to
- do the music, eventhough I hate trackers, they don┤t fit in from a
- musicians point of view. About the network we do have a fast lan port
- on the falcon that everyone seems to forget, ofcourse it isn┤t
- exactly a standard, but if you have the lead and lets say a tcp-ip
- routine for it, it will work much better then the midi for
- networking. As for making the sound effects 3d you can always sample
- the sounds in 3d instead of making them in realtime, it is a little
- bit of cheat but it would save processor time. So I will take two
- days of from my work, just to please you by getting angry on a
- tracker to make a conversion.-)
-
- Anyway I say this discussion is starting to be like shakespear "To be
- or not to be", I would say that it depends on the user to choose.
-
- Thanks for the word.
