Hi there,
This is my inaugural post to this community - greetings! I have a question about daisy-chaining these two magnificent devices on modern machines running DOSBox.
Similar to the conversation that occurred on this thread, I currently have a Roland MT-32 connected via a MIDI-to-USB cable on my modern machine running DOSBox 0.74 on a Windows 8 system. This works beautifully, and I am able to enjoy the Roland MT-32's music and accompaniments for the classic games that supported them. Now, I've acquired a Roland SC-55 (Mark II), and I'd like to connect this to my device as well.
Can I daisy-chain the two using MIDI-THRU? How exactly can I handle that, given that my Roland MT-32 is connected right now into a single USB port and the audio is piped out to PC's my built-in soundcard's "Line In"? Do I need some additional hardware to manage the music so that I don't hear both the MT-32 and SC-55 at the same time? (Note: the volume on the MT-32 right now doesn't do anything given that it has no real amplification, and all the amplification is handled by the built-in sound card's line-in and virtual mixer.
Any help you can offer how to two enjoy both of these devices on the same DOSBox setup would be much appreciated!
Thanks!
