The 7th Guest: Audio & Music
The 7th Guest audio and music research directory: XMI sequences, MIDI, AdLib, PCM, CD audio and the original game audio systems.
Audio modifications involve more than replacing a sound file. Music sequences, instrument choices, digital samples, device configuration and playback timing are different parts of the problem. This category brings the planned audio references together so that a question about a format or a playback path has a specific place in the wiki.
The directory includes XMI structure and events, General MIDI and MT-32 topics, AdLib synthesis, CD audio and PCM. An entry is not a claim that a conversion tool or a complete guide already exists. Published articles will distinguish observed behavior, source references and remaining questions.
This catalogue currently has 26 entries. 0 are published; the remaining entries are planned documentation, not completed guides.
