*sigh* well the mt-32 showed up and dispite my hope that this would be simple....of course it hasn't been. i know there are a few threads on this but none have been helpful
can't get the thing to work. useing one of these

to connect my sound blaster16 to the mt-32. of course in my haste i ordered the female cable so when it arrived i had to by a short M-M midi cable to bridge and connect. as for the 1/4 mono jacks that the mt-32 uses to output i have 2 mono to stereo 1/4 to 1/8 converters and then i have a stereo 1/4 splitter to let my speakers connect to that.
anyways, as i said i can't get it working dispite what i hook the midi cable up to. i tried both midi in and out. i'm testing with kings quest 4 as i read it requires no patches to utilise the mt-32. i know the game is fine because when i set it up to use the sb16 it plays perfect but if i setup for MT-32 and compatibles when i start the game i get a black screen and a mouse pointer. i get no midi message on the mt-32. acually even when i do a sound test with the sb16 i get no sound like nothing is passing to the mt-32.
i also tried running indiana jones and the fate of atlantis, if i set it up for sb16 i get sounds fine but when i have it set up for mt-32 i just get the sound effects (generated by the sb16 and the voice (cd) but no music (mt-32)
anyone have any ideas? btw i'm running it on a 486 under dos 6.11
