This is old news and there is an existing thread about this already 😀

@Mau1wurf1977 : What is the purpose of this type of setup? I'm unable grasp the concept of it's practical application.

Or is it a method to use a newer system (preferably) that is able to handle MUNT to act as a LA "module" for use with an older PC, which does not have a true MPU-401 intelligent mode port or a real LA module?

So that means both computers should be on to use the LA synthesis, right?

Wouldn't it be more practical to use Dosbox and Munt on the same system, then? (Unless, maybe for the 'kick' that you can get out of connecting a DOS based PC to a Windows PC to get the LA synth from it?)

You basically turn a spare PC into a "fake" MT-32. Nothing more, nothing less 😀

I totally agree it doesn't make a lot of sense as, like you said, might as well go with DOSBox anyway or just purchase a real MT-32 which should be cheaper than having a second PC tied up.

It does not solve any hanging note or intelligent mode issues of the MPU401 interface in the retro PC in any way shape or form.

It did however allow me to do wicked comparison recordings which I put on YouTube. People couldn't really tell a difference so MUNT has certainly reached a very high standard.

I hate dosbox, but I don't have enough money for a Real MT-32/CM-xxX
which is min. about 100€, or More. 😒

And yep, we need 2 computers, the 2nd is running with XP, and Munt. Its works an LA module. 😀
And, the 1st, which is my 486, thats running games.
I do not want to have to use more of the Gravis card to MT-32 style sounds come out of it.

I hear that Gravis Ultrasounds are a bit more common in Hungary than in many other countries, maybe you could trade for an MT-32 😀

I could see a use for this if you had a spare Windows XP machine, which are extremely common. Go to a thrift store and you can often find one.
