Hello darry, Thanks for recommending the audio mixer. That seems a nice solution, however what I am confused about the mixer is, why it does NOT have any MIDI input/outputs? Just only stereo input / outputs? With the MIDI input selectors, I was under the impression that I feed AWE64 MIDI IN of …

I just got a midi patch bay for ~€25 from a music store doesn't need to be from roland, the only important thing is that it should work standalone without being connected to a computer. I see. So I should look for the search term MIDI patch bay, as 'MIDI Input selector' search term does not bring …

I forgot to mention that AWE64 out goes into SC-55 INPUT, then from SC-55 OUTPUT it goes into Cakewalk powered speakers. At what point do I need to lower (mute) which sound volume? SC-55 (all others mute?) UM-ONE (all others mute?) MT-32 (all others mute?)

Well, according to Phil's Computer Lab's MT-32 video : MT-32 MT-32's OUTPUT (R-L) ---> AWE64 Line IN Then for my setup, in order to have both SC-55 and Roland UM-ONE connected at the same time: SC-55 Then MT-32 THRU ---> SC-55 IN Roland UM-ONE Sc-55 THRU --->UM-ONE OUT At what point do I need to …

UPDATE: Went ahead and bought the unit for USD $225 (cash): He was nice enough to throw in couple of short MIDI cables that I needed free of charge. CONNECTION ISSUE: Hezuz was nice enough to suggest the following: "Connect the gameport midi out from your AWE64 to the MIDI IN of your SC55. Then …

Wow, I wasn't aware of this! It means that on my current setup, I can also daisy chain my SC55 and Roland UM-ON adapter , right? In theory, yes. Connect the gameport midi out from your AWE64 to the MIDI IN of your SC55. Then connect a midi cable from the SC55s MIDI THRU to the Roland UM-ON. The …

Also: you can daisy chain the MT-32 to your SC55 with the MIDI THRU. You can connect up to 4 devices this way. More is not recommended because of signal loss. I've set up a mini RCA mixer to mix the inputs from the modules and the soundcard. Works fantastically. Wow, I wasn't aware of this! It …

You can use your PC also as MT-32 you just need a USB to MIDI Adapter Thingy. Yes, as I mentioned previously, that is *exactly* what I am using now ( Roland UM-ONE USB adapter ). The advantage that I have With MUNT is the flexibility to change CM32 and MT32 ROMs on the fly for specific games. I am …

Thanks for your responses, I am playing these on a real vintage computer, so the source ports are out of the question. But thanks for the comments nonetheless.

Indeed I am using himemx, strange that It was working perfectly with 8194 value. Update 1: As I suspected lowering the value to 4096 did not solve the issue. Could it be the RAM stick? Update 2: Replaced the older 128GB stick of RAM and still speech issue.
