Here's a quick explanation of the files included in this zip file:
|
||
|
||
README.TXT : This file
|
||
PM.TXT : A quick explanation of the PM.EXE midi player
|
||
PM.EXE : PM - a command line midi file player
|
||
MAKETMB.EXE : this generates TMB files for use by PM. Read GMTIMBRE.INI
|
||
GMTIMBRE.TMB : A timbre file generated by MAKETMB
|
||
GMTIMBRE.INI : An example timbre script for MAKETMB. Generates GMTIMBRE.TMB
|
||

|
||
GENMIDI.IBK : General MIDI percussion instruments. Used by GMTIMBRE.INI
|
||
TIMBRES.ZIP : A couple sets of instrument banks that can be used as
|
||
source material for fm instruments.
|
||
|
||
|
||
MAKETMB is a simple utility to allow developers to develop and use their
|
||
own FM instrument banks with the Apogee Sound System. It can generate
|
||
either a data file or source code (ask me if you'd prefer to use this
|
||
feature) containing the instruments and usable by the sound system.
|
||
|
||
The benefit of having the instruments in a data file is that multiple files
|
||
could be made, each with instruments specific to a particular song or set
|
||
of songs. It also allows you to make quick changes to the instruments and
|
||
hear them in a song (using PM) very quickly, without having to recompile
|
||
the code (very useful for musicians).
|
||
|
||
I know I'm terrible at writing documentation, so if these files are a little
|
||
vague, give me a call and I'll walk you through it.
