(If you deciphered the previous sentence, congrats.) And even that comparison is generous, because music is a lot more complex acoustically than a text is graphically.

It's technically possible with software that does optical character recognition, bu1 tncy arc pr0m to connn1t crror5 thot rnakc the tcxl unreadable. It's easy to turn a text file into a JPG (open an image editor, use the text tool, paste your text, save the image) but it's a whole other kettle of fish to do the other way around. Think of MP3 music as being like a JPG of a text document, while MIDI is like the raw text file. As a result, the Raptor MUS tracks are played at double speed by most third-party software.For example I have 3 MB mp3 Music and I want convert this into MEDI (For save files). However, in Raptor: Call of the Shadows, the only other game using DMX outside of the Doom engine, the time division is 70 Hz. For the Doom engine, the time division is 140 Hz, so one MUS tick lasts 1/140th of a second, and this value is what is used in most third-party software to play or convert MUS files. The tempo of the MUS format depends on constants defined in DMX. The MIDI3MUS converter works under modern operating systems. " Smells like Burning Corpses" is known to be affected by this problem. A MUS->MIDI converter that does not take this into account might end up glitching the volume on certain channels. The MIDI format uses the value 127 as the maximum possible volume in volume change events MUS allows for higher values. This can be most audibly heard with MIDI files that use pitch bend effects, such as "Oww!" and "How'd I Do?" from Rise of the Triad. The MIDI2MUS converter does not create perfect conversions sometimes the created files can sound distorted.

The size of MUS files is limited to 64 kilobytes, due to use of 16-bit fields inside the file format.

The reasoning for this implementation detail in the DMX library seems to be that OPL2 cards ( Adlib, Sound Blaster 1.0, SB 1.5, SB 2.0) had only nine channels.įM cards with dual OPL2 ( SB Pro, Pro AudioSpectrum) or OP元 ( SB Pro 2, SB 16) had 18 channels, and any card fully compliant with the General MIDI standard had to support at least 16 channels but the success of the earlier 9-channel FM cards dictated going with the lowest common denominator for compatibility reasons. The MUS format can only use the first 9 MIDI channels, using the first 8 for music instruments and the 9th for drums. In the DMX source code, the MUS format is referred alternatively as MUS, RTM, Real Time Music, and Game Music Format. Vanilla Heretic and Hexen, derived from version 1.2 of the Doom code, still require that music be converted to MUS format before inclusion in a WAD. However, since this was achieved by the game running MIDI2MUS internally when needed, authors looking for vanilla compatibility should make sure that the MIDI file they include can be successfully converted. Support for standard MIDI files in vanilla Doom was added in version 1.5, which meant WAD authors no longer needed to convert MIDI files to MUS. The file format has a size limit of 65536 bytes. MUS files are nearly identical to MIDI files, only slightly more compact. The MUS format is a slightly altered MIDI format, created for DMX and used in the Doom engine soundtracks.
