1. Purpose

AdlMIDI is a commandline program that plays MIDI files using software OPL3 emulation.

2. Key features


This project is developed in C++, but a GW-BASIC version is also provided (MIDIPLAY.BAS). This player was first implemented in GW-BASIC for a Youtube demonstration video! With alterations that take 15 seconds to implement, it can be run in QBasic and QuickBASIC too.

The OPL3 emulator within is from DOSBox is licensed under GPL2+.
The FM soundfonts (patches) used in the program are imported from various PC games without permission from their respective authors. The question of copyright, when it comes to sets of 11 numeric bytes, is somewhat vague, especially considering that most of those sets are simply descendants of the patch sets originally published by AdLib Inc. for everyone's free use.
