I have never had such a frustrating experience in my entire life before as trying to find a pascal sound unit for Empyrean... First there appears to be nothing, then about a dozen units appear on some page that all turn out to be dead links... then another dozen on another page that turn out to be FAQs and half-complete projects... SMIX plays audio perfectly, but doesn't support MODs, and there's no pascal MIDI players ANYWHERE!! BWSB only supports MODs, no standalone VOC... MIDAS didn't work at all... DigiPack played MODs and VOCs sometimes, but couldn't do mixing and had a compatibility problem...
Guh. I hate the world.

Found some using google, searching with 'pascal+midi+source'
I don't know how this works:

I found several that accessed the hardware and could play notes, but none that could play a MIDI in the background without using interrupt 0. Thx for the link, I'll check it.
EDIT: Doesn't work. It turned out to be the same as something else I tried. Plays them at the wrong tempo with the wrong instruments and only works 50% of the time. Nope.

If this thingy doesn't work, you can just take the source code for midi playing out of another language and code it by yourself in Pascal...

True, but that's an awful lot more hassle than I'm willing to go to, since I know absolutely nothing on the subject and it seems to be a convoluted one...
Oh...then it's ok...I've just thought that you knew a lil bit about this stuff

Absolutely zilch about dos audio systems. Although from little bit of reading that I've done just in the past few days, it seems that the GUS was a far superior card to anything Creative made. Onboard DRAM, hardware mixing...
Yup. I remember those days when a GUS was around $400 and a SB16 costed less than $80...
wizard: Too bad you're not using C or qb, UGL sound module will run on any sb hardware. It's better then any of the other sound libs you mentioned. really it is

But you can transform the C/QB code to Pascal...it shouldn't be that hard to do that
