Hi,

I've seen a demo of Munt running on a Mac running PC games in DOSBox. However, I'm wondering if it's possible to have Munt running on a Mac playing midi sounds using midi commands coming from an external midi input? If so how would I configure this?

For example, if I run software on a real Apple IIGS, connected to a midi-interface, connected to my Mac's midi interface - can the received midi inputs play sounds in Munt?

Thanks.

I think so, as it behaves like any MIDI physical device connected to the mac (only that it is virtual).

Any idea how to route midi input from an external source into Munt? It doesn’t appear in Audio MIDI setup, and whilst I can see it’s advertising a port name, I can’t find any way of routing midi signals to it (even tried getting MainStage to output to it but can’t find anyway of selecting it within MainStage).

Thanks for all help!
