This once -prevented music for these games from working on platforms that do not support -MIDI, or soundcards that do not provide MIDI drivers (e.g, many soundcards will -not play MIDI under Linux). ScummVM can now emulate MIDI mode using sampled -waves and Adlib or MT-32 emulation using the -eadlib or -emt32 options respectively. -However, if you are capable of using native MIDI, we recommend using one of the -MIDI modes below for best sound. +\subsection{Playing sound with FluidSynth MIDI emulation} + +If ScummVM was build with libfluildsynth support it will be able to play MIDI +music through the FluidSynth driver. You will have to specify a SoundFont to +use, however. + +Since the default output volume from FluidSynth can be fairly low, ScummVM will +set the gain by default to get a stronger signal. This can be further adjusted +using the --midi-gain command-line option, or the ``midi\_gain'' config file +setting. + +The setting can take any value from 0 through 1000, with the default being 100. +(This corresponds to FluidSynth's gain settings of 0.0 through 10.0, which are +presumably measured in decibel.) + +\textbf{NOTE:} The processor requirements for FluidSynth can be fairly high in +some cases. A fast CPU is recommended. |
