Sound Blaster + MT-32 it is then.

0kool, remember if you want to use Sound Blaster 16's WAVE sound and MIDI LA (MT-32) via SB16's MPU channel simultaneously it is impossible.
All SB16/AWE cards do have this bug. The SFX+GM is working (with hanging notes bug or without), the SFX+LA isn't working. With SoftMPU or without it doesn't matter. At the same time Roland MT-32 works with all SB16/AWE cards fine if you don't play WAVE sound on Creative card which is connected to MT-32.

You can check it on Mortal Kombat, The 7th Guest games. Sound Blaster works, Roland works, Sound Blaster + Roland won't work! You even need not MT-32 to check it. You know that you can use MPU channel without external MIDI modules. Just take any SB16/AWE card and go with Speech=SB and Music=Roland MT-32. You'll get freeze during game starting.
