When playing MIDI songs through the OPL3 FM synthesizer, the
Windows MIDI mapper must be configured for:
SE1440 FM (1-10), or
SE1440 FM (13-16), or
SE1440 FM (1-16).
NOTE: Most MIDI files will play correctly using the FM (1-10) setting.
This setting uses MIDI channels 1-10. Some MIDI files may use channels
13-16. In this case, the song or tune may not play correctly. If this is the
case, select FM (13-16). The FM (1-16) setting allows you to play MIDI files
that use either channels 1-10 or 13-16.
NOTE: Some MIDI files contain two images of the song (dual-authored
files). In this case, the music on channels 1-10 is duplicated on channels
13-16. This type of MIDI file will not sound correctly. So, you should select
FM (1-10) instead.
