What is an SGT, out of interest?

Personally, I would just use the standard multimedia functions to play a midi file, unless you''re doing something different with it. Software instruments, perhaps? If so, this will slow it down.

I didn''t notice any mayor slowdown while loading and playing a midi with DirectMusic. Maybe dropped 5 FPS. But then my FPS is about 400 in my project.
