==<br /> Usage ==

<blockquote>
'''Quickstart:'''

Most will only need Soundbox to import MIDI files into their SCI0 games.
</blockquote>

# Use format 0 or format 1 standard MIDI files. Format 2 files are not supported.
# Leave channel 16 empty. Don't try to play music on it.
# Don't rely on embedded sysex messages. They will be removed during import.
# Break large, long, heavily layered works into smaller pieces. An individual sound resource should not be larger than 64k. If necessary, a number of resources can be played one after the other.
# To convert the MIDI file, choose File -&gt; Import MIDI from the menu.
# To save the imported resource, use File -&gt; Save As.
# To play imported MIDI resources in Sierra's DOS interpreters, get the [[Ravi's_Sound_Drivers#SCI0_MPU_MIDI|SCI0 MPU MIDI]] sound driver.
