I have Yamaha's S-YXG100 softsynth set as the default MIDI device under Win 98SE. I'm trying to get DOS programs running in a window to play MIDI through it. I feel like there should be a way to do this but I'm failing hard at figuring it out. The machine is this one with a VIA / Realtek AC'97 chipset (VT8235), which does give Sound Blaster support in a DOS window, but I'm not sure it's providing any MPU-401 or even SB-MIDI emulation. (The M-Audio Delta 2496 in the machine doesn't have any DOS support at all.)
I think I need a 3rd-party patch bay; I tried MIDI Yoke but couldn't get it going through that. Very unintuitive program.
What's a good way to make this work?
