ADLMIDI Player

A simple OPL3 Synth based MIDI Player with use of libADLMIDI

It's a small and simple MIDI player with OPL3 (Yamaha YMF262) FM synthesis. The player can play any MIDI, MUS, XMI, or IMF file you will have on your device. Player has 76 embedded banks from various DOS games, musical software, and some other timbre banks you can choose to get the different sounding of your music. At the same time, you can use external timbre bank file in WOPL format.

# Key features of the libADLMIDI synthesizer:

* OPL3 emulation with four-operator mode support

* Embedded FM patches from a number of known PC games, copied from files typical to AIL = Miles Sound System / DMX / HMI = Human Machine Interfaces / Creative IBK

* Stereo sound

* Number of simulated OPL3 chips can be specified as 1-100 (maximum channels 1800!)

* Pan (binary panning, i.e. left/right side on/off)

* Pitch-bender with adjustable range

* Vibrato that responds to RPN/NRPN parameters

* Sustain (a.k.a. Pedal hold) and Sostenuto enable/disable

* MIDI and RMI file support
