Tired of the bleeps and bloops of your midi card. Then you need to turn your processor into a wave table. MIDWAV renders midi completely with your processor, then outputs the result using DART.

The midi engine used to do this is TiMidity - Experimental MIDI to WAVE converter Copyright (C) 1995 Tuukka Toivonen. The MIDIWAV additions represent a GUI interface, which is used to control timidity. The GUI demon can be used as a standalone player or it can be used in conjunction with the MIDIWAV for netscape plugin.

NOTE: Read install.txt. You should be able to easily install this package as you download it, by dowloading the files to the dirs they go into.

Timidity and CP users: You need to make an additional copy of gravis.cfg and place this file in your patches dir.

If you got your patches from another page other than here you will also need to put a copy of gravis.cfg in your patches directory.

Requirements:

  • 486-66dx2 processor or above
  • OS/2 WARP 3.0 Revision 8.25 or LATER

I suggest Revision 8.256 (FIXPACK 32) it fixes some DART bugs! or

  • OS/2 WARP 4.0 Base Level and above or
  • Any OS/2 installation that supports DART and OPEN32.

(Although this IS A NATIVE PM program I use OPEN32 to save settings in the registry.)
