Does it get detected by the BIOS? I've had plenty of dusty old ISA cards which only came to life after cleaning the contacts on the edge connector with some contact cleaner then pulling them in and out of the slot a few times.

Hi xcomcmdr, Thanks for the feedback. I'd never written a line of C# before I started this project in January this year, so it's been a huge learning experience for me. I chose to develop using WinForms as, despite its shortcomings, I had some prior experience of it from tinkering with Visual Basic …

Here are the mojo.exe outputs from my Diamond Monster 3D, under Windows 98 DOS mode on a P3 440BX board. It doesn't return the same "DPMI: GetDeviceID returns NULL!!! DPMI: Couldn't get VXDLDR entry point" warning message, but as you've stated, that might not necessarily indicate there's an issue …

I've published an updated build v0.9.5a, which is DPI-aware and should display correctly on systems where Windows Display Scaling is set to a value other than 100%. There are no changes to the core functionality. Please see my original post for download links.

The attached sysex files contain what seems to be the minimum amount of information required to switch on and off the reverb settings for the entire rhythm part. My earlier upload contained lots of unnecessary device initialisation messages, so you can probably ignore that now. I don't know anything …

I believe the only way to do this is to disable reverb for each individual key in the rhythm part. This sysex file should do the job: Filename MT-32 rhythm part reverb off.zip File size 1.07 KiB Downloads 79 downloads File comment SysEx file

The editor is already really great, just my first 2 feedbacks: - Would it be possible to change the "Editing Partial No." setting to radio buttons? Because with radio buttons, you need one click, with a dropdown, you need two... Good suggestion, I'll change this in the next build. - Enabling and …

Prior to v0.9.3a, MT-32 Editor was initialising and then discarding the virtual MIDI connection each time a MIDI data packet was received from the MIDI In port. I suspect the Active Sense messages from the SY99 may have been triggering this initialisation/discard process multiple times per second …

I've published an updated build, v0.9.3a (see link in original post). This version keeps the MIDI connections open so should improve compatibility with MUNT. Let me know if there are still any issues with MIDI devices which use Active Sense.

Thanks all- I suspect JK1974's issue is a result of the 0xFE Active Sense messages from the SY99, coupled with the fairly rudimentary way my program handles MIDI In data. Neither of my MIDI keyboards (one of which, a Roland JV-35, is a similar vintage to the Yamaha) appear to implement Active Sense, …

Thanks for the feedback, it's really useful to have some more test material. The only SysEx files I've used for testing are Roland's MTGM.syx and the Sierra sysex library- which must not contain any reset messages. I'll have a look at the files you've posted above and update the code accordingly. As …

Thanks- I've been so focused on the SysEx specification that I must have missed the page in the manual showing how to change the tuning from the front display. The scanned copy of the MT-32 manual at https://www.manualslib.com/manual/691647/Roland-Mt-32.html therefore contradicts itself between page …

I've definitely learnt an awful lot about the MT-32, SysEx and Visual Studio over the last few months. The Master Tune parameter is an interesting one- the MT-32 user manual states that a SysEx value of 0 = 432.1Hz and a value of 127 = 457.6Hz. This would place the middle of the range somewhere …
