Hello,

Please could someone tell me whether it's possible to use MIDI files in Quest? I have some nice MIDI tunes I would like to use in a game, but it seems that I will need to convert them to wav. As far as I can tell, this would make them huge files, which I would like to avoid if possible.

If the tunes have to be wav. then does anyone know of a way of compressing RIGHT down?

Thanks for any advice.

You can use mp3 files as well. That should use less memory than wav. I don't think you can use MIDI, but you could try it just to be sure.

Ah yes. Mp3. Thank you very much. I hadn't noticed that.
