Yeah, I meant something that can work with the plugin. OK, then the solution of the puzzle seems to be number 2 :). Some game will show the song title or other game information on the display and I always found it pretty cool. As I have said all that information is already displayed by the plugin, …

Is there any way of having the LCD display module of the MT-32 show up in the display. Only thing that I really miss. Would go perfect with MidiPlayer. I'm not really sure I understand what you want. I have 3 interpretations of your request: 1. You are talking about showing the LCD display module …

I'm getting strange results from PIII-600 Katmai, I can disable L2 cache in BIOS (no L1 option), Topbench drops from 453 to 69, and that's ok. But with SetMul disabling L2 via L2D I see no effect in speed. And after disabling L1 with L2 "enabled" I'm getting same 69 result. So, L1E L2E = 453, L1E …

The biggest problem with this NTVDMx64 solution is that it prevents running native x64 console applications (such as FAR file manager x64 version https://www.farmanager.com/download.php?l=en and all my own x64 console applications). While 16-bit programs work 64-bit console mode programs throw an …

For normal Midi file playback you should use the GM compatible Full/All profile (Channels 1-16) instead of Extended (Channels 1-10) or Basic (Channels 13-16). More info about this issue: Re: Falcosoft Soundfont Midi Player + Munt VSTi + BassMidi VSTi

If your BIOS does not have such Core disabling function you can use K10Stat to test Core disabling. It's available at the NB tab of K10Stat. Unfortunately it works only for the next warm reboot so it's not a permanent setting and requires a Windows reboot. The setting also cannot survive suspend/ …

Hi, Ok, now I understand your problem better. It's an implementation quirk of SC-VA that even the front-end of SC-VA does not display correctly. Namely SC-VA in GM2 mode only applies the GM2 drumset when you explicitly set drum channel's Bank MSB to 120 (it's right according to specification as I …

Hi, Theoretically XMI->MID conversion is a lossless one as far as musical data is concerned. But there are some features in XMI that are either not standardized in SMF/mid file specification (such as loop points) or not widely supported (such as Type 2 midi files). Type 2 Midi file support is …

OK, first of all this is not a GM2 midi file. It contains no SysEx messages at all so it's a simple GM compatible midi. Notice that GM2 is a special beast since GM2 uses Bank MSB 120 to designate a channel as a drum channel! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_MIDI_Level_2 But this file simply …

Of course, compress your midi file to zip and then attach it to your post in this thread. I will check it out. And please write a little description about what kind of problem I should hear.

Hello Zoltan, I noticed that MT-32 files with very small external SysEx files (to set reverb for example) tend to "choke up" the first few notes. I wonder if there's an option in FSMP to force a small delay (one second for example) before the MIDI file starts playing, in order to prevent that sort …

Falco , is there any possibility of a macOS port of Midi Player? As a mac user I currently have two options: either run the player in a virtual machine or use WINE. Unfortunately, both are lacking, sound quality wise. Unfortunately no. The problem is that FSMP is written at a rather low level. It …

Fdisk /mbr replaces the master boot record. AFAIK in case of an already partitioned disk XP install does not replace mbr (but also XP and Win9x mbr's are compatible anyway). So Instead of restoring mbr you have to restore the volume boot record that actually boots the OS on the active partition. And …

It's not exactly just a boot menu, during your installation attempt the volume/partition boot record was replaced by a WinXP one that references Ntldr instead of Win9x based IO.SYS. As the fastest cure you can edit the boot.ini file crated by the WinXP install and change 'timeout=1' e.g to 'timeout …

1.FSMP uses the real Program Change numbers that are 0-127 as in Midi specification. Some vendors (maybe because of afraid of zero) uses a scheme of 1-128. But the instrument names match so 0 - Piano in FSMP is 1 - Piano on your synth. The tendency is that software and players use the real 0-127 …

I would imagine it is considered good form to initial midi device resets at the beginning of your mid files? Shame that many of the converted ones I have from other devices haven't been modified further for this in mind. Not necessarily. It can be also annoying that your fine tuned reverb preset/ …
