MOD's, MIDI's and more? - 01/07/1999 03:40
Will the empeg be capable of playing other music formats such as the many MOD tracker formats? Also can it play WAV's and/or MIDI files?

Can't see any reason why somebody couldn't write an add-in to play MODs. Not sure why you'd want to play a WAV - just convert it to an MP3 and save the space! MIDI is slightly different - the sounds are implemented in hardware, so would need some clever programming to get around this - the MIDI synth on the SouldBlaster Live holds a minimum of 2MB (basic synth) - this would eat a fair chunk of the available RAM unless the samples were held on disk, but in this instance I'm not sure if the disk could feed the soft-midi synth quickly enough. Any programming types care to prove me wrong?

The xaudio player used by the empeg-car has a pluggable codec capability. Theoretically we could support any file format that has a codec available. Standard codecs include one for WAV files.
Perhaps something could be done with timidity to provide a MIDI codec.

I may not be speaking on behalf of empeg above :-)
