Hey MoM (LOVE the name, BTW). The instruments should play fine, unless you missed the program changes when recording. if that's not it, then it must be that the SysEx reset after the game was exited.
The trick is to send the SysEx in Cakewalk before editing, so the right SYX is already in the MT-32.

The thing to understand is that it's unlikely anything is being 'borked'. DOSBox MIDI capture and C 3.01 both just respond to what you ask of them.

Are you doing a Sierra game, or something different? Almost every Sierra game is available on QuestStudios in terms of SYX.

The solution if it's not, is to record the part where the game loads and sends the SysEx to the MT-32, and stop capture right after that. Then you have a SYX inside a MID, and you can play it to your module, and then work on editing the music.

If I'm missing the point, I apologise, but I'll try and help further 😀

For the former, I'm not sure, it plays fine outside DOSBox. For the latter, I use the "built-in" version of munt, so it's not possible for the SysEx to have been "stuck" in the external munt (the one with the Qt GUI)

Nope, it's Pushover. And from what I noticed, the game loads the SysEx every time it plays a song.

No worries, no need to apologise, and thanks.

Attached the midi files so you could take a look. The one with "orig" at the end is the midi file straight out of DOSBox, the other two were tampered with CakeWalk

After trying out MidiEditor, I found out it doesn't mess any of the midi files, and works flawlessly. Another plus is that it's FOSS and multi-platform, so I no longer need to switch to Windows just to use CakeWalk 😁
