PM is a quick and dirty file player for DOS using the Apogee Sound System.
|

|
|
|||
|
If you type PM with no arguments you'll get the following information:

PM Version 1.10 by Jim Dos<6F>
|
|||
|
Usage: PM [ midifile ] CARD=[ card number ] MPU=[ port address in hex ]
|
|||
|
TIMBRE=[ timbre file ]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
card number =
|
|||
|
0 : General Midi
|
|||
|
1 : Sound Canvas
|
|||
|
2 : Awe 32
|
|||
|
3 : WaveBlaster
|
|||
|
4 : SoundBlaster
|
|||
|
5 : Pro AudioSpectrum
|
|||
|
6 : Sound Man 16
|
|||
|
7 : Adlib
|
|||
|
8 : Ensoniq SoundScape
|
|||
|
9 : Gravis UltraSound
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
So, if you want to play FANFARE.MID on a Sound Canvas at port 330h, type:
|
|||
|
PM Fanfare.mid card=1 mpu=330
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The TIMBRE parameter tells PM to use the MAKETMB generated timbre file
|
|||
|
specified. This is useful when you're testing new timbres and want to
|
|||
|
see how they sound.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
You can also set an environment variable that has the card settings you
|
|||
|
want to use by default and PM will use it. Just type "SET PM=<card>,<mpu>"
|
|||
|
where <card> is the card number and <mpu> is the address of the MIDI card
|
|||
|
(if any). So for a Sound Canvas at port 330h, you would use "SET PM=1,330".
|
|||
|
Then you can just type "PM Fanfare.mid" on the command line to play your
|
|||
|
song without worrying about the card and mpu parameters.
