The blind generalisation about people's size in the opening post is honestly one of the dumbest things I've read recently. And since when being big or not is supposed to justify mistreating your hardware?

I have one theory to add here, folks. This may also be caused by any unrelated program that tries to take exclusive ownership of the audio device session. For example, starting FL Studio in exclusive ASIO mode, or Foobar 2000 in exclusive WASAPI mode will steal the audio API connection from other …

Oh true, I completely overlooked the fact OP isn't running this on XP or later, ignore that.

Has anyone tried to limit the game engine's process execution to single processor core only? This is a rather blind guess (merely judging by the fact some old games like Thief/System Shock 2 and anything on unpatched Dark Engine exhibit severe problems due to this) but it won't hurt to try.

Ah, fair, that's indeed a deal-breaker. Had no idea FSMP was written in Pascal!

This is just a loose suggestion, but maybe you could use the code of VST bridge adapted from OpenMPT? It's big plus is that it's open source so you could modify it yourself to your needs. Code in question: https://github.com/OpenMPT/openmpt/tree/master/pluginBridge

Yeah, i agree, even though portable mode programs shouldn't write to registry, there's no other way around making it work in Wiindows (other than creating a shortcut in the Startup folder). I personally love that option because i use FSMP with S-YXG50 loaded into it as my main system wide MIDI …

It works as intended. It was my bad memory, i forgot that the mode i expect it to start with is triggered using the /tray CLI switch, because i manually created new shortcuts, completely forgetting about that. Thank you, issue solved! <3 PS i'm loving all the little improvements version 6.0 brings! …

Did the version 6.0 break the startup/exit to tray mode? I keep the "Start with Windows (System Tray)" option checked, yet it won't start up minimised to tray anymore and when I click the window close button, it won't get minimised into the tray - it terminates instead. Unless there's a different …

Hello Falcosoft. I have to say I enjoy your work you've put in for awhile now. But I was wondering since newly developed VST's are only VST3's and since 2018 They no longer Issue license to Developers to distribute VST2. I've Converted SEQ and VAB to MIDI and SF2 from various PS1 Games and I …

I don't think it's the tool you mentioned, especially considering some of the fancier features, but there's also the well known open-source one, TestDisk, and it even has MSDOS version. https://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk

Hello, thanks for trying it out and recording the video. I'm aware of the squeaky intro sound effect and the flanging drum kit, that is definitely intended by the author and the entire song sounds perfectly fine in your video. And yes I should have included both correct and incorrect playback …

I might have tried to reload the VST a bit too fast then (around 2 sec wait), will wait for a bit longer next time. Also definitely need to try with a different VST or try S-YXG50 in another host (like SaviHost) to rule out the possibility of FSMP being at fault. PS. Attaching the original file i …

Another interesting thing just happened very much on accident - i was playing a MIDI from MIDITrail while i accidentally triggered FSMP via keyboard media button, which started playing XGroove.mid from its own playlist. I stopped MIDITrail first while XGroove continued to play erroneously (which was …

First off, thank you very much for the info and for implementing it as a menu option! <3 Second (it's gonna be a long one) this is more of just my rambling than anything else, and it might or might not be related to FSMP, since it's something hard to debug. For some time i've been noticing weird …

Small feature request i guess, but it would be nice if it was possible to deregister FSMP as the keyboard media keys' handler in the OS, so that i could control an external player sending MIDI to it instead. I have a feeling that this might already be implemented but i can't find it for the life of …

Omg I'm so jealous of that tower! Though admittedly MU50 is too low for me, I'd personally go for at least MU128 since i already basically have the same base covered by S-YXG50. It decidedly does look very neat though.

Yeah you'll probably want to use either LoopMIDI or MIDI Yoke to create software ports. I personally recommend the latter, since it can work with both 32 and 64 bit clients connecting on both ends and can dynamically create and destroy ports on demand, although it only works in 64-bit Windows, so if …
