This adds support for the AdLib and MT-32 sound effects in Elvira 2 and
Waxworks. It adds an option to the UI to toggle between sampled and
synthesized SFX. It also adds the following enhancements:
- AdLib OPL3 mode for Elvira 2, Waxworks and Simon 1 floppy demo. This can be
selected using a new UI option.
- Mixed AdLib/MIDI mode for Elvira 2 and Waxworks.
- Implemented "monophonic chords", a feature of the original MIDI code which
would play only the highest note of a chord on AdLib. Most noticable in the
Waxworks music.
- Added UI option to select Simon 1 DOS music tempos.
- Rewrite of the AdLib and MT-32 drivers to remove duplication and make use of
features of the standard multisource drivers.
- Refactored MidiPlayer to standardize interface and remove code moved to the
drivers and parsers.
This updates the Simon 1 DOS AdLib driver and adds an AdLib driver for Windows.
The DOS driver now has OPL3 support, which eliminates the note cut off that
frequently occurs on an OPL2. It also allows for some limited use of stereo.
The driver now plays the floppy SFX accurately compared to the original
interpreter. It also implements multisource functionality, allowing for
separate volume control for music and SFX for the floppy version.
The Windows driver just maps the MT-32 instruments of the Simon 1 MIDI data to
the equivalent GM instruments.
