I really dont see need for AV switch at al.

Mixer doesnt need an AV switch. But the AV switch needs a mixer.

So just user a mixer and forget the av switch, its not needed.

So what if the midi module has a volume. you set it to half and just the volume on the mixer.

it depends on what you gonna get
different solutions for different tasks

Interim update to this thread:

My RX1602, MT-32OLD, SC-8820 and CM-64 have all arrived, as well as all the bits and bobs to connect them. So far I have listened to DOTT on the SC-88 and Space Quest 3 (Which sounds fantastic!) on the MT-32. Just trying to clear some space for the CM-64 at the moment, then I'm going to whack in Lure of the Temptress, which I understand is great on that, and then I'll see if I can get XM6 outputting to it.

Again, thanks for all the help given to me, especially for the mixer.

I'm using 2 switches: one for GM and one for LA standard, that's handy.

Could you tell me which AV switch you're using for this purpose? I have a mixer, but next time I set up my retro MIDI PC system(s), I'd like to experiment with the different music options in my DOS games... 😀

For your info, Gemini Wing is the only known game to use the U110-07 and U110-10 cards (which are not mandatory, as the game is also compatible with a plain CM-64 and of course a MT-32).

Yup, I have the rock drums and electric guitar cards. Choujin supports them too.

I bought a pair of these mixers. for sure I could buy one 8 port switch but it as twice as wider and I preferred two small units for my rig.

Choujin supports them too. And the cards are worth the cheap price they go for.
