To use a metronome signal on a MIDI cable, they would have to use a no connect DIN. I don't see any of the PC sound modules supporting a MIDI sync connector, so I am confused. https://www.midi.org/specifications/item/midi-din-electrical-specification There were early drum machines with such a …

Is the metronome signal carried on a separate pin?
DOS games that need MIDI metronome signal
Posted on 2016-12-04, 23:42
What I've gathered is that for MIDI connections that do not have a MIDI sync connector there is a metronome signal that is available in MPU-401 intelligent mode that is not available in UART mode. How many games generate this metronome signal?

Was MCI (media control interface) available on DOS? This was for watching video. Wave Out? ASIO, as part of the operating system? Vesa local bus, was it an interface in DOS as well as a bus? Same with MCP? Also, was there a MPU-401 or UART interface in DOS?

Okay, the AWE32 and Soundblaster 32 topped off at 28 MB RAM, yes? The size of the Utopia Live! soundfont back in the day was 32 MB was it not? Also, the Soundblaster AWE64 digital is a PCI card and is not mentioned on the wikipedia page here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_Blaster#Sound_Blaster_ …
