I made a song using the program FINALE.... which is a really good program because it is basically...
1. Choose your instruments
2. Choose your note value
3. Point n' click
The song is really weird and involves a lot of strange percussion. It's awesome! I was going to use it in a QB game in conjunction with QMIDI but then I realized that everyone (including me
) has or is getting in the near future: WINDOWS XP. (DUN DUN DUNNNNNN *menacing laugh echoing from Microsoft HQ*) But anyway, if you're interested in such things, it would be worth checking out!!!

A Severe Error has crippled BB2 for the time being... I have to figure it out, but until then you won't see much of it

VDMSound, man. Windows XP + VDMSound = No sound problems for MSDOS applications, including QMidi.
Download it
Btw, it would be neat that you actually posted the MIDI

FIne then, here it is!

LoL, I don't know how else to do it. It should work, tho.
As for VDMSound, I tried it, and was unimpressed. The sounds were bad. But, maybe I just got a beta version or something! I'll look around.
Oh yeah, the MIDI is VERY random, so don't expect any fancy shmancy stuff.

Back by popular demand!
I will byte and nibble you bit by bit until nothing remains but crumbs.

Well, FINALE 2003 is not free, but there is FINALE NOTEPAD which is free. hmm... come to think of it, you can't make MIDI's with FINALE NOTEPAD, but if you're interested you could send the song you made to me, I could make MIDI and send it back! :bounce: Just search Google for "FINALE NOTEPAD" and you should find it. It's a great program!

To me, QMidi sounded as bad in Windows 98 as it sounds now in WinXP+VDMSound. QMidi sounds bad
Appart from that, I get the very same sound output in the rest of the applications that I got in my old computer with Windows 98.
The song is funny
Some portions are somewhat out of harmony, but not much
Btw, that song will sound bad with QMidi: too much percusion special FX. QMidi uses the Sound Blaster old MSDOS TSR drivers, and they are very limiting. The trick is to use the minimun amount of "odd" instruments for percusion, stick to bass drum, snare, toms, hihat, crash and ride or it will sound like crap

Okay, then, if Qmidi is bad, what should I use?
