User documentation for GENMIDI.DRV driver - 12 May 1993 ------------------------------------------------------- Sierra On-Line provides after-market support for General MIDI, EMU Proteus/1, Roland D110, and Roland D10, D20 series synthesizers through the GENMIDI.DRV driver and the appropriate patch file (.PAT). This driver will work with the the games listed below. To use the driver with your game you will need three files: GENMIDI.DRV, GENMIDI.HLP, and the patch file for the game and synth you are using. The patch files are named using four letters for the game name and the remaining letters for the synth type. For example, the General MIDI patch for Space Quest IV would be named "SQ4_GM.PAT". The Proteus/1 patch for Eco Quest 1 would be named "ECO1PRO1.PAT". The D110 patch for Hoyle 3 is called HOY3D110.PAT.

If using a Proteus you must set your unit number to 0. NOTE: The D10/20/110 and Proteus drivers will overwrite your existing patches via a sysex message. Make sure you back up your unit before running the game! If you need a sysex loader/saver there is one on the Sierra BBS called MIDI.EXE. Place GENMIDI.DRV, GENMIDI.HLP, and the patch file in the game directory on your hard disk, or on game disk #1 if playing from floppies. The driver will expect the patch file to be named "4.PAT" so you must rename the appropriate patch file for each game to "4.PAT" (The Space Quest IV patch must be named PATCH.004 rather than 4.PAT). Now run the install program and select the GENERAL MIDI option when asked to choose a music device. When the installation is complete, you may run your game normally and enjoy the music! NOTES: 1) The GENMIDI.DRV driver is designed to work with a Roland MPU-401/IPC or compatible MIDI interface. If you wish to use a Pro Audio Spectrum MIDI interface with your MediaVision ProAudio Spectrum card, you will need to use the GENMIDMV.DRV driver instead of the GENMIDI.DRV driver. 2) All of Sierra's newest adventure games include a General Midi driver. If you have an EMU PROTEUS/1 or a Roland D110, D10 or D20, you can use the included General MIDI driver on these newer games if you re-map your synth to the General Midi standard.
