mpu401=intelligent
mididevice=1
midiconfig=0

I am using Dosbox 74 for this one.

Either way results in silence, and no widjet reaction to midi.

Try:

mpu401=intelligent
mididevice=default
midiconfig=1

I have tried all the permutations I could think of, and also tried yours again, thanks, but no joy.
If I knew where dosbox collates midi, perhaps I could also find
"Fireface 800 midi (GSIF low latency ) and point it to dosbox.
About to search the computer.

DOSBox only lists MIDI devices available to Windows.

Thanks, but how do I make the device available?
The RME FF800 is listed as a device in Printers and devices, and also under "sound" in Devices. It is very confusing.
Anything else I can try?

Strangley enough dosbox does list "Fireface 800 MIDI" but the listing I need is
"Fireface 800 MIDI (GSIF low latency)", so it would appear that windows is aware of the device, it's just not including the (GSIF low latency) identification which is the listing provided to my software sampler.

W7 won't show you the MIDI devices available anymore. XP had this option in the sound area, but this doesn't exist anymore.

There is a tool which allows you to change the DEFAULT windows MIDI device. However all it will give you are the same two choices DOSBox picked up.

I can only guess that the software is customised for your MIDI interface and talks to it natively and not via the OS (wich would explain why it's low latency).

Thanks for the help, this is so sad, being the last part of the setup puzzle.
By the way what is the tool you mentioned, i would like to try it anyway.
Yes the software is customised for the interface.

But with DOSBox it's not needed as it's nifty enough to have an option for picking the MIDI unit.

This is great if you have a MT-32 and only want DOSBox to use it, but every other application default to the standard windows MIDI device.

Thanks, I will give it a go, maybe I can find a work around.
