MT-32 Init Volume?

I set my MT-32 to a rather low volume, since it balances better with digital audio that way. However, some games (like Dune 2) initialise the volume to 90, forcing me to go and manually tweak the dial a bit to get back to my preset volume. Is this just the way their SysEx is written, or am I overlooking a setting somewhere that can prevent this behaviour?

Yea many games set the volume when you launch the game.

I use an external mixer to mix Sound Blaster, CD audio and Roland, because every game has a different balance.

Pity there isn't a way to intercept specific SysEx messages. Ah, well. Guess I'll just have to stand ready to tweak that dial.

Hi Phil,

How do you connect your CD audio to the mixer? Do you have a line-out socket?

Yes, I made one myself out of a slot cover. You can also use an older optical drive with a headphone port at the front 😀
