Subject: .XMI files
I've tried all around the place to get some help on this one
so I think this is probably my last attempt.
Does anyone know of a program which will convert files in .XMI
format to .MID format, or of a program which will play .XMI
files on the GUS?
Many thanks,
Alistair.

Subject: About the SDK 2.10....
I was skimming through the SDK version 2.10 and have a couple of questions:
(pertaining to the Borland C libraries...)
- There are two libraries for each memory model: ULTRA0xB and ULTRA1xB.
I know the ULTRA0LB is for low-level functions, and the latter for
high-level ones. But, the SDK Reference doesn't state which functions
belong to which. Am I to include both libraries into my project file?
- Also, with reference to the included file EXAMPLE.C: I tried to compile
the program but came up with an undefined symbol error for UltraGetCfg.
I searched all the header files and docs but found no reference to this.
I made my own routine for doing this (read the environment variable
ULTRASND and stuck it into the config struct). Was this all that's
needed?
- If I name my source file GAME.CPP, for example, the libraries won't link.
I have to name it to GAME.C to link correctly. Since I'll be using C++
extensions, is there a way around this?
Just wondering,

Pitch is simply the frequency in hertz (number of oscillations between
adjacent peaks per second). However, if by pitch you mean "which key on
the piano is it?" there is a formula - hopefully somebody will post it.
But every octave is twice the frequency of the next lower octave. That
is, if middle c is 256 hertz, then the C below that is 128, and the C
above is 512. However, generally the reference is the A above middle
C. Pianos and other instruments are generally tuned so that this A
is exactly 400 hertz (and the A below is 200, and the one above is 800, etc.)
Then middle C isn't exactly 256 hertz anymore.

Subject: Hmmmm...
Okay, now maybe I'm being silly here, but I think it might be nice to have a
GUS programming kit in asm. I don't really have that many arguements for,
other than that most hardware programming seems to be done low level. [Or
maybe I'm just *! frustrated that the C functions don't work correctly...
like why UltraStartVoice sometimes doesn't do *anything*.]
I don't suppose there are documented asm programming kits in the works...
