I have used it to try Midi Yoke Output 1, and I set Timidity to use that port as its first preference, but this brought no change. I have also set the system's MIDI device to Midi Yoke 1 with the MIDI-Mapper Switcher control panel you recommended to me. The result is always the same: no output …

Hello, Now I can't get DOSBox to use any MIDI other than Microsoft standard. 😜 But yes, it makes music for Microsoft GM Synth.

The only one I can remember right now is "Master of Orion" - I'll look for more and let you know! Yes, that is the MIDI Mapper I am talking about when I say "MIDI switcher control panel." Putzlowischt. TWSynth icon is in the bottom right of Windows screen, and I have set it to always "Start Synth." …

Hello, Well, I am testing with games that do not have gray settings now. The problem lies elsewhere. I can get Timidity to handle MIDI if the program allows me to route to Midi Yoke 1 - but not in any other circumstance. I have tried using Midi switcher control panel to switch between default device …

Some games have the GM setting greyed out, notably "Master of Orion." Most games have it available but nevertheless fail to produce any sound. I can get Timidity++ to play MIDIs through Timidity's own player program, and through Windows-based Doom variants like Skulltag.

I've followed the directions you guys have given, and I can only get Timidity++ to be invoked when I play MIDIs through its GUI. If I play MIDIs in Windows Media Player, they use MS's GS DLS. And no DosBox games even detect MIDI hardware in their setups, let alone output to it.

Hi! Thanks! But I have installed MIDI Yoke and run the associated registry key, but nothing is added to control panel that I can see (Windows 7, 64.)

Hi! Okay, when I put the midi in the same folder, now it plays! 😀 First step to success I hope?

Hi. Vista and Windows 7 are very different. I have MIDIYoke and I followed the instructions for installing. Beyond that I do not know how to access it. My Timidity++ does not have a function to configure the MIDI input device. It is a MIDI output device. The Timidity player does not produce sound. I …

Ok, well howabout this - if I switch to Linux, THEN is it any easier to use Soundfonts to play back everything that DOSBox does? What would I need to get? How can I convince the devs to add Fluidsynth to DOSBox? I do not know the developers.

Assuming it is Timidity, what other program would let me use Soundfont sets to play all MIDI in DOSBox under Windows 7?

thats what i did and it doesnt work i got the midi picker i picked it it doesnt make sound happen

Hi! As you know many good old games use MIDI music! :) But in Windows 7 there is much less MIDI support than in either Vista or XP. There is not a device changer selection in control panels any more. When I used XP, I used a variant of Timidity++ as my computer's MIDI device. This allowed me to …
