Having acquired two rev1 MT-32s, one working and one in need of repair (they have not arrived to me yet), I've begun thinking up of a project for a new way to utilize the MPU-401 interface. Here's some reasons for doing this: #1 Mainly so I can save an ISA port on my Pentium 1 and just use one of the USB ports instead. I need both ISA slots for an SB16 and Gravis. #2 To use in other 98 computers that lack ISA ports.

MPU-401 Compatible MIDI Device. MPU-401 Compatible MIDI Device. Best Video Software for the Mac How To Run MacOS High Sierra or Another OS on Your Mac Best Graphic. Audio Drivers; MPU-401. But I am not able to use MIDI input in the guest computer. I need this feature, because I want to use a Roland keyboard connected to the game port of the host computer. In the host computer this music keyboard works for input in 'musescore' software.

#3 Work around the common issues that seemingly plague rev1/rev2 MT-32s, problems with genuine and clone MPU-401 interfaces, etc etc etc. #4 Not having to buy an MPU-401 ISA interface for unfair prices. So my plan is to use a USB-to-MIDI adapter (Roland still makes them with windows 98 drivers, too). This will be used for the primary communication between the MT-32 and windows 98 & its DOS strapper. After I do a few tests, I'm going to see if I can write a driver to act as an active software MPU-401 which can hopefully: #1 be persistent for the so-called 'intelligent mode'.

#2 act as a wrapper around sysex data so it can change the way it behaves in regards to a new/old MT-32 to prevent buffer overflows in either rev1 or rev2. The main idea here is that Windows 98 is going to intercept the MT-32 software driver onto DOS- tricking the games that they 'think' it's a real MPU-401, like DOSBox.

Any comments or criticisms welcome. It's been awhile since I did any programming.

May take awhile to sort this out. I can't make any guarantees, but I want to give it a shot. I really do NOT want to sacrifice the spot for the gravis ultrasound.

PS- I'd like to state two final things: Because I am not a HOARDER, I plan on selling the 2nd MT-32 after I repair it. I also dislike MT-32s being sold for $100 and over. Because of this, I'll most likely be selling it privately for $50.

Hoarders and sellers that take advantage of retro electronics take out all of the fun. Newbie Posts: 56 Joined: 2012-5-27 @ 19:56.

Don't know if it has intelligent mode. The Aureal vortex 9X driver also has a DOS window emulated MPU-401 that can reroute to any windows midi device. Thanks for the heads up.

I also want to see about trying to figure out something in regards to the sysex problems. I'll post my experiments here once I get around to playing with things Turns out the 'broken' MT-32 had nothing wrong with it!!!

It was working the whole time. Getting an MT-32 for $30 (with shipping) is incredibly amazing.shrugs. I guess he forgot to insert a buckazoid? Newbie Posts: 56 Joined: 2012-5-27 @ 19:56.
