The now deprecated $MIDISOUNDFONT metacommand did enable MIDI support for _SNDOPEN in QB64-PE versions prior to v3.14.0, and was also considered unstable. It could only be used with the $UNSTABLE:MIDI flag set. Since v3.14.0 MIDI support is stable and you can use _MIDISOUNDBANK to load a soundfont.

- $MIDISOUNDFONT: {DEFAULT|"Filename"}
Parameters
- DEFAULT indicates that the soundfont provided by QB64-PE should be used to play MIDI files.
- The provided soundfont is about 1MB in size.
- Filename can be used to provide your own soundfont for playing MIDI files.
