| ||||||
WORX Toolkit is an audio API published by Mystic Software. It includes a software library of around 35 functions for playing music and digital sound effects without needing to rely on cumbersome calls to a terminate and stay resident (TSR) program. The API can be used in Microsoft C/C++, Borland C/C++, Turbo C/C++, Turbo Pascal, or any version of x86 Assembly.
WORX supports type 1 or 0 MIDI and CMF music files and can play them on various Sound Blaster models and the MT-32. Digital audio is supported in VOC or by converting any format into RAW PCM. Audio can be played from a file on disk or directly from memory to decrease latency. Version 2.01 introduced PC Speaker sound effects in PWM format.
WORX Toolkit was sold in three styles, the basic version of the software cost $79, WORX Toolkit Plus cost $199, and a TSR version called WORX Lite was also released for an unknown cost. Each could be used royalty free.
