As far as I'm aware, Munt doesn't provide any MIDI Out functionality- as a software synth, there's no compelling reason for it to do so. There are plenty of utilities that can dump sysex patches to MT-32 compatible devices, including MIDI Ox, Mountain Utilities' MIDI Tools, a DOS utility called dump.exe, and my own MT-32 Editor.

I'm sure there are programs that can easily dump patches from an MT-32- it's certainly possible with MIDI Ox if you send the right commands.

The reason I never bothered implementing this functionality in MT-32 Editor is that unless you have a rare example with a battery backup mod, MT-32 devices always default to factory settings after being power-cycled. MT-32 Editor has all the MT-32 and CM-32L factory timbre/patch parameters built in if you want to edit them.

Hi everyone,

I've been searching for this information and looking at the source, I don't see any references to midi output. Does Munt implement midi output, for example dumping patches through sysex, and also there are MT-32 editors that get all data first from the synth, then allow you to edit the instruments?

Cheers,

Bish.

There's a recent thread about MIDI Out you can check out, as for an editor, other than the excellent editor mentioned by its creator in this thread above, there's the Ginosoft one that might be 16-bit (W7 in compat mode and earlier OS's required) but had the functionalities to dump patches and send patches.

Ginosoft's "The LA Synth Editor and Librarian for Windows" from http://web.archive.org/web/20110614152516/htt … l/midisoft.html

Thank you for all the info. I am aware of all the editor options, I tried to use an Atari ST version of Sound Surfer/Diver to talk to Munt, but of course it is trying to get a dump of the current status of the sound module. I know your Mt-32 editor does not have this requirement, so of course, it is a great option to do the sound editing. I used to have a real MT-32 and on the ST, I created my own sound editor in Pascal. It was a lot of fun making my own sounds. Sfryers, thank you for creating such a great tool.
