This change improves the accuracy of the timing of the AdLib SFX of Elvira 2
and Waxworks. The frequency of the SFX script timer is now synchronized with
the callback timer of the AdLib driver, which makes the timing of the OPL
register writes match that of the original interpreter.
This adds a MIDI driver for the Casio MT-540, CT-460 and CSM-1 devices. These
are supported by Elvira 1 and several Sierra SCI0 games as well as Altered
Destiny and Les Manley 1.
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.
The DOS version of Simon 1 has different music tempos compared to the Windows
version. This commit adds the option to both the DOS and Windows MIDI parsers
to use either the DOS or Windows tempos.
The AGOS PC-98 MIDI driver did not check the native_mt32 flag when determining
the type of MIDI device. This would cause a hardware MT-32 or external
softsynth to be treated as a GM device.
This commit fixes this by adding the missing check.
This commit adds the following functionality to the MIDI drivers:
- Add checking if a driver is ready to process MIDI events for a specific
source (rather than any source). To facilitate this, SysExes can now be sent
using a source number. This is stored with the SysEx data in the SysEx queue
and can be checked when isReady is called with a source number.
- Allow specifying controller default values per MIDI channel. Currently this
is only implemented for program.
- The OPL dynamic channel allocation algorithm will now respect statically
allocated channels, in case a subclass uses combined static and dynamic channel
allocation.
It also fixes the following bugs:
- Instrument remapping can now be specified using const arrays.
- OPL instrument writing code is refactored to a separate function.
- OPL note on with velocity 0 would be handled as a note off, and then
continued to be processed as a note on.
- OPL writeFrequency would always write key on bit, even if the note is not
active.
- MT-32 default channel volume was incorrect.
The auto loop functionality of the MIDI parser would call jumpToTick to jump
back to the start of the MIDI stream, then call parseNextEvent to read the
first MIDI event. However, jumpToTick already makes sure the first MIDI event
after the jump point is parsed. Calling parseNextEvent again would discard the
first and parse the second MIDI event.
Fixed this by removing the call to parseNextEvent after jumping to the start.
The first scene of the Simon The Sorcerer 2 intro uses 3 music tracks. The last
2 are missing from the MT-32 MIDI data set. The original interpreter just stops
playing music after the first track and does not restart until the next scene.
This commit fixes this problem by using the GM versions of these 2 tracks
instead and mapping the GM instruments to MT-32 ones.
This commit adds a function to the multisource MIDI drivers for specifying an
arbitrary instrument map for remapping the instruments in the MIDI data.
This is used for remapping instruments from two Simon 2 GM tracks to MT-32
because they are missing from the MT-32 MIDI data set.
The DOS versions of Simon the Sorcerer 2 now use the Miles drivers. AdLib now
sounds like the original does. ScummVM would use the second set of XMIDI data,
written for the MT-32, for GM with instrument remapping. Now the first set is
used, which uses GM instruments and has extra instruments on several pieces.
For all versions music fade-outs have been added during screen fades.
