![]() Of course you shouldn't forget to set DosBox to actually use these devices and configure the game to output midi music to General Midi or MT-32. You should install both if you like to play old games with midi music and they both work just fine under Win7 64bit. ![]() The first emulates General Midi/General Synth and the other emulates older Roland synthesizers (MT-32, etc.). Geralt_of_Rivia: Bassmidi and Munt are for two different things. In win 7 sound settings there was no midi device at all not even the Microsoft GS wavetable synth. # config - Special configuration options for the device. ![]() # This can be default,alsa,oss,win32,coreaudio,none. # device - Device that will receive the MIDI data from MPU-401. # mpu401 - Type of MPU-401 to emulate: none, uart or intelligent. Went back and checked dosboz config and checked in dosbox midi device list with mixer /list midi and MT-32 synth emulator is device 1. So BASSMIDI served two different purposes for a classic PC gamer:īut as said, that (1.) doesn't necessarily work anymore in Windows 10, so there changing the DOSBox config may be necessary (in order to get MT-32 sounds with the Munt driver). Timppu: BASSMIDI or VirtualMIDISynth can be used to set the Munt MT-32 driver as the default Windows MIDI device, in which case you'd here MT-32 sounds without having to directly edit the DOSBox config file to use a different MIDI device. For General MIDI music games, it allows one to use better General MIDI soundfonts, as well as enabling some Sound Canvas GS extensions (like reverb, usage of different drum sets etc.), in case a game supported those.īut as said, that (1.) doesn't necessarily work anymore in Windows 10, so there changing the DOSBox config may be necessary (in order to get MT-32 sounds with the Munt driver). For Roland MT-32 music games, it allowed changing Windows default MIDI device to the Munt driver.Ģ. So BASSMIDI served two different purposes for a classic PC gamer:ġ. ![]() BASSMIDI or VirtualMIDISynth can be used to set the Munt MT-32 driver as the default Windows MIDI device, in which case you'd hear MT-32 sounds without having to directly edit the DOSBox config file to use a different MIDI device. Are you sure you put the right MIDI device in DOSBox config? So I think it is more futureproof to learn how to edit the DOSBox config file to use the Munt MIDI device, without having to use either BASSMIDI or VirtualMIDISynth. I presume they can be used for General MIDI music though, to use better General MIDI soundfonts. ![]() I think in Windows 8 and especially Windows 10, editing the midi device to the DOSBox config file (or using ScummVM's built-in MT-32 support) is the preferred way, maybe even the only way, IIRC BASSMIDI or VirtualMIDISynth can't change the default MIDI device anymore in Windows 10, meaning you can't change the Munt driver to be the default MIDI device that way anymore (I haven't tried it, but that's what I've heard). Good it works, albeit I am nowadays using VirtualMIDISynth instead of BASSMIDI in Windows 7. Tried the edits OP used in the games dosbox config file but that didn't work for me.ĭosbox finds MUNT emulator device but only got basic sounds until I got MT-32 emulator set as default midi synth. Couldn't get WIN 7 Pro 64 bit to recognize MUNT driver no matter what I did. ![]()
