* OPL: specify the core to use for playing this song
* FluidSynth: specify a soundfont that should be used for playing the song.
* WildMidi: specify a config file that should be used for playing the song.
* Timidity++: specify an executable that should be used for playing the song. At least under Windows this allows using Timidity++ with different configs if the executable and each single config are placed in different directories.
* GUS: currently not operational, but should later also specify the config. This will need some work, because right now this is initialized only when the sound system is initialized.
* all other: no function.
These options should mainly be for end users who want to fine-tune how to play the music.
The pointless error message in WildMidi_Shutdown was removed to keep the rest of the code simple and allowing to call this even when the device never was used.
Instead of the previous method where there'd be a filename and offset, and/or a
memory pointer, this uses a class to access resource data regardless of its
underlying form.
degree of support for songs that use loop controllers to loop the song back to a point after
the very beginning of the song.
- Enable loops during SMF generation. Infinite loops will be clamped to some finite amount. (This is currently 30, so a 3 minute song will still restart from the very beginning after 90 minutes)
- Fixed: The SMF, HMI, and XMI readers all generated invalid MEVT_NOP events.
- Fixed: SMF generation died on songs that set their tempo during the initial beat.
SVN r2864 (trunk)
- Was there any reason why the MIDI_GUS device was so well hidden from the user? It sure does not sound broken. Added it to MIDI menu and $mididevice.
SVN r2862 (trunk)
- Added a generic Standard MIDI File creator that works with any of the sequencers. mus2midi.cpp
is no longer used but is kept around as a reference.
SVN r2677 (trunk)
- Moved MIDI precaching logic into MIDIStreamer so that SMF and HMI files can both use the
same implementation.
- Added a player for HMI midi files.
SVN r2675 (trunk)
which is painfully apparent on hexen.wad MAP01's music, which hits around 90 voices.
- Patch from Chris:
* Add FluidSynth to the menu.
* Enable FluidSynth for MIDI as well as MUS.
* Fix CmakeLists.txt.

to try compiling it myself on Windows to see if it's really that slow or if
Ubuntu just ships an unoptimized version, because performance is pretty pathetic
when compared to the other options. (I understand that it's a complete SoundFont2
renderer, so it is understandably slower than something like TiMidity++, but still.
Does it really need to be around 10x slower? I played with the chorus, reverb, and
interpolation settings, and none of them seemed to make much difference in
performance.)
SVN r2545 (trunk)
atexit for it, which gets executed after the sound system shuts down.
- Fixed: FPlayList::Backup() failed to wrap around below entry 0 because Position is
unsigned now.
SVN r2188 (trunk)
run into the adjacent columns.
- Added a NullSoundRenderer so that most of the checks against a NULL GSnd
can be removed.
- Fixed: Looping sounds must always successfully allocate a channel, even if
it's only a pre-evicted channel.
SVN r1058 (trunk)
heavily customized version of DUMB (Dynamic Universal Music Bibliotheque).
It has been slightly modified by me:
* Added support for Ogg Vorbis-compressed samples in XM files ala FMOD.
* Removed excessive mallocs from the replay core.
* Rerolled the loops in resample.c. Unrolling them made the object file
~250k large while providing little benefit. Even at ~100k, I think it's
still larger than it ought to be, but I'll live with it for now.
Other than that, it's essentially the same thing you'd hear in foobar2000,
minus some subsong detection features. Release builds of the library look
like they might even be slightly faster than FMOD, which is a plus.
- Fixed: Timidity::font_add() did not release the file reader it created.
- Fixed: The SF2 loader did not free the sample headers in its destructor.
SVN r995 (trunk)
there were no designated characters to strip at the end of it.
- Added support for Shoutcast/Icecast playlists.
- Added an error message when a playlist could not be opened.
- Added support for PLS format playlists, in addition to M3U.
- Changed FPlayList to use an array of FStrings.
- Fixed: Playlists required every song to be specified by an absolute path.
SVN r951 (trunk)
wave file.
- Changed the default channel velocity for MUS files from 64 to 100 to
better match apparent MIDI practice. (Would like to know what this is
supposed to be.)
- Changed the mus2midi channel assignments to match the internal player's.
- Fixed: apply_envelope_to_amp() should clamp the mix levels to 0.
SVN r926 (trunk)
channel when restarting the song, rather than emitting a single note off
event which only has a 1 in 127 chance of being for a note that's playing
on that channel. Then I decided it would probably be a good idea to reset
all the controllers as well.
- Increasing the size of the internal Timidity stream buffer from 1/14 sec
(copied from the OPL player) improved its sound dramatically, so apparently
Timidity has issues with short stream buffers. It's now at 1/2 sec in
length. However, there seems to be something weird going on with
corazonazul_ff6boss.mid near the beginning where it stops and immediately
restarts a guitar on the exact same note.
- Added a new sound debugging cvar: snd_drawoutput, which can show various
oscilloscopes and spectrums.
- Internal TiMidity now plays music.
- Changed the progdir global variable into an FString.
SVN r900 (trunk)
can be played as OPL can also be dumped.
- Removed the opl_enable cvar, since OPL playback is now selectable as just
another MIDI device.
- Added support for DRO playback and dual-chip RAW playback.
- Removed MUS support from OPLMUSSong, since using the OPLMIDIDevice with
MUSSong2 works just as well. There are still lots of leftover bits in
the class that should probably be removed at some point, too.
- Added dual-chip dumping support for the RAW format.
- Added DosBox Raw OPL (.DRO) dumping support. For whatever reason,
in_adlib calculates the song length for this format wrong, even though
the exact length is stored right in the header. (But in_adlib seems buggy
in general; too bad it's the only Windows version of Adplug that seems to
exist.)
- Rewrote the OPL dumper to work with MIDI as well as MUS.
SVN r872 (trunk)
advanced sound options menu. Removed opl_enable from the menu.
- Added OPL synth as MIDI device -3. Since this is based on the MUS player
code, it only supports those events and controllers supported by MUS.
Some of Duke's MIDIs sound awful, but I think that may be more because
it's using different instruments... There's a thread in the MIDI streamer
class that could be taken out for Linux, since it doesn't need to deal
with the Windows Multimedia API, but for now, this is still Windows-only.
SVN r864 (trunk)
into a general MIDI player.
- Fixed: Passing false for a stream callback did not stop the stream.
- Removed opl_frequency, since the only time the emulation sounds good is
when it plays at the exact frequency of a real chip.
- Music no longer plays at all when snd_musicvolume is 0.
- Bumped up snd_sfxvolume and snd_musicvolume default values.
SVN r862 (trunk)
from doing prebuffering of the song. This was causing the Linux version to
hang while waiting for input from the pipe, since Timidity hadn't been
started yet. I tried using a select call in the FillStream() method, but it
always seems to return the pipe as having nothing available. Unfortunately,
the game still falls all over itself if Timidity isn't available. Instead
of execvp failing nicely, X errors kill the game. I don't know why it's
doing that. My advice for Linux music: Skip Timidity++ and get a DLS patch
set (/WINDOWS/system32/drivers/gm.dls is probably the most common by far)
and set the snd_midipatchset cvar to point to it. It's faster and also
sounds a whole lot better than the crappy freepats Ubuntu wants to install
with Timidity++.
- GCC fixes.
SVN r858 (trunk)
the song's relative volume takes effect.
- Removed the arbitrary 1024 bytes limit when the file being played is a MIDI
file. I had a D_DM2TTL that's only 990 bytes.
- Restructured I_RegisterSong so that $mididevice works again and also supports
selecting FMOD.
SVN r857 (trunk)
- Removed movie volume from the sound menu and renamed some of the other
options to give the MIDI device name more room to display itself.
- Moved the midi device selection into the main sound menu.
- Added FMOD as MIDI device -1, to replace the MIDI mapper. This is still the
default device. By default, it uses exactly the same DLS instruments as the
Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth. If you have another set DLS level 1 patch set
you want to use, set the snd_midipatchfile cvar to specify where it should
load the instruments from.
- Changed the ProduceMIDI function to store its output into a TArray<BYTE>.
An overloaded version wraps around it to continue to supply file-writing
support for external Timidity++ usage.
- Added an FMOD credits banner to comply with their non-commercial license.
- Reimplemented the snd_buffersize cvar for the FMOD Ex sound system. Rather
than a time in ms, this is now the length in samples of the DSP buffer.
Also added the snd_buffercount cvar to offer complete control over the
call to FMOD::System::setDSPBufferSize(). Note that with any snd_samplerate
below about 44kHz, you will need to set snd_buffersize to avoid long
latencies.
- Reimplemented the snd_output cvar for the FMOD Ex sound system.
- Changed snd_samplerate default to 0. This now means to use the default
sample rate.
- Made snd_output, snd_output_format, snd_speakermode, snd_resampler, and
snd_hrtf available through the menu.
- Split the HRTF effect selection into its own cvar: snd_hrtf.
- Removed 96000 Hz option from the menu. It's still available through the
cvar, if desired.
- Fixed: If Windows sound init failed, retry with DirectSound. (Apparently,
WASAPI doesn't work with more than two speakers and PCM-Float output at the
same time.)
- Fixed: Area sounds only played from the front speakers once you got within
the 2D panning area.

list, it should just be ignored during the propagation stage.
- After sleeping on it and realizing what was really going in, I generalized
the inventory fix from the 13th: The actor is flagged by Destroy(), then it
is later inserted into the thinker list by DThinker::SerializeAll(). So
rather than unlinking the skipped player from their inventory, just make
sure any flagged thinkers aren't inserted into a list.
- Fixed: FCanvasTextureInfo::Viewpoint needed a read barrier, and the whole
list should serve as a root.
- Reimplemented SPC playback as a custom codec for FMOD.
- Removed spc_frequency, because snes_spc only supports the SPC's native
frequency of 32000 Hz.
SVN r806 (trunk)
for FMOD Ex while at the same time removing support for FMOD 3. Be sure to update
your SDKs. GCC users, be sure to do a "make cleandep && make clean" before
building, or you will likely get inexplicable errors.
- Fixed: If you wanted to make cleandep with MinGW, you had to specifically
specify Makefile.mingw as the makefile to use.
- Added a normalizer to the OPL synth. It helped bring up the volume a little,
but not nearly as much as I would have liked.
- Removed MIDI Mapper references. It doesn't work with the stream API, and
it doesn't really exist on NT kernels, either.
- Reworked music volume: Except for MIDI, all music volume is controlled
through GSnd and not at the individual song level.
- Removed the mididevice global variable.
- Removed snd_midivolume. Now that all music uses a linear volume scale,
there's no need for two separate music volume controls.
- Increased snd_samplerate default up to 48000.
- Added snd_format, defaulting to "PCM-16".
- Added snd_speakermode, defaulting to "Auto".
- Replaced snd_fpu with snd_resampler, defaulting to "Linear".
- Bumped the snd_channels default up from a pitiful 12 to 32.
- Changed snd_3d default to true. The new cvar snd_hw3d determines if
hardware 3D support is used and default to false.
- Removed the libFLAC source, since FMOD Ex has native FLAC support.
- Removed the altsound code, since it was terribly gimped in comparison to
the FMOD code. It's original purpose was to have been as a springboard for
writing a non-FMOD sound system for Unix-y systems, but that never
happened.
- Finished preliminary FMOD Ex support.
SVN r789 (trunk)
class so they all the low-level details of MIDI streaming are kept in
one place.
- Converted the SMF MIDI playback to use the same MIDI streams as MUS
playback.
- Moved MUS playback back into its own thread so that it can continue
uninterrupted if the main thread is too busy to service it in a timely
manner.
- Fixed: The MEVT_* values are not defined shifted into their spot for a
MIDIEVENT, so I need to do it myself.
- Fixed: Pausing a MUS and the changing snd_midivolume caused the paused
notes to become audible.
SVN r784 (trunk)
of ZDoom, except now the entire song isn't prebuffered in large chunks, so
I can insert MIDI events into the playback with fairly low latency. This
should offer more precise timing than the combination of low-level MIDI and
WaitForSingleObject timeouts.
SVN r783 (trunk)
behind because it couldn't delete them.
- added a $MidiDevice option to SNDINFO which can either set the preferred
MIDI device for a song to Timidity or Windows' standard MIDI device.
The reason for this: About 80% of my MIDI music collection sounds better
with Timidity and the other 20% with Windows' standard synth and I'd like
to be able to use each with the one that sounds better. For MUS files you
can also force the use of OPL playback.
- added telefrag option to A_SpawnItemEx.
