GENMIDI.OP2 is a sound bank file used by players based on DMX sound library to play MIDI files with General MIDI instruments using OPL2 sound chip (which was commonly installed on popular AdLib and Sound Blaster sound cards).
Major users of DMX sound library include:
This page hosts a formal specification of GENMIDI.OP2 OPL2 sound bank using Kaitai Struct. This specification can be automatically translated into a variety of programming languages to get a parsing library.
