AdLib also has a MSC Programmers Manual for $39.95 (retail). It comes with a disk with sound effects examples and stuff. They have examples in both C and Basic. They give information on using FM synthesis, additive synthesis, and mention composite sine wave synthesis which they quote as "As no experiments have yet been done in this direction, this feature remains a theoretical possibility." It would be nice to get digitized voices out of the AdLib card. Anyway they go into how to manipulate the AdLib card with attack rate, decay rate, sustain level, release rate, envelope scaling, etc... If you have any questions feel free to e-mail. Hope I've helped.
