you can switch a SC-55 into MT-32 mapping mode, which requires the front panel keys. The only way to do this on a CM-300 is probably by playing a MIDI file that sends the required commands to the device. That is, if the MT-32 mapping mode is supported by the CM-300 at all.
I got ur ideas, more functions for more possibilities. That's true and I've thought a lot on the MT-32 compatibility before because so many people speak highly of MT-32 for the old dos games.
Referring to my personal conditions, I was born in 80s and got my first PC when I was 11, so I mostly wish to play those old games released in 90s for later 486 and Pentium MMX era. I have to say MT-32 is pretty much better for 386 and early 486 era, but back to my situation, general midi are widely supported by most of games in 90s and it has better performance. So MT-32 compatibility is not a-kinda-necessary-stuff I have to take as the SC-55 did IMO.
But anyway, thanks for ur advices again, and if I can get an SC-55 within 50 USD by chance, I'll take it for sure. And the same for MT-32 or MT-100. 😀 😀 😀
