Not a single human being asked for it, but I coded a small C program in msdos Borland C++ 3.1 to take in MIDI signals and reroute it to the PC speaker. Some sort of polyphony is next on the docket!

@1Bit Neato mosquito! I did something a while back that would try to play (a track from) a MIDI file to the PC speaker in DOS, with (extremely) moderate success: https://codeberg.org/indigoparadox/mindi 😌 Everyone loves MIDI.

@indigoparadox that's cool! If I want to try it, where do I find a release .exe?

@1Bit Release binaries have always been my weak point, but it looks like I have a couple on GitHub: https://github.com/indigoparadox/mindi/releases/tag/v0.22.6.4

I gotta port those over to Codeberg someday, I guess. 😌

Somewhat improved since the last time... MIDIBEEP.EXE sounds more natural (though still incredibly wonky), and has a quit key (so long as the track isn't just one long pause).
