YO music in background?

[Knudsen]

Hi there. Is there any way to play FM or midi music without interrupting
the main loop. I've been messing with FM sounds, and am using a little routine
to play notes. But as each note is played foreground activity stops. Is there
any way to use the PLAY command to fix this or is it solely for PC speaker
usage?

I tried something called QMIDI 4 but I can't get it to work properly.
Even when I load the SBMIDI exe like it says. It just doesn't detect it. It
also won't detect MIDI files.

The <PLAY "MB...> command stuffs the melody in the buffer. You might
want to do the same, trough I don't think you can use <PLAY "MB...> for
that.

I'd keep working with QMidi. It's really your best option, since it doesn't
suck up a tone of power, and it sounds a million times better than a PLAY
statement.
