- MIDI Setup for SMS MusicMaker
- =============================
- If you have trouble setting up MIDI for MusicMaker you should read
- this file.
-
- SMS MusicMaker needs the Midi-Mapper, a part of the Windows system
- software to run properly. Usually the MIDI-Mapper is already set up on
- your computer after you have installed your soundcard.
-
- However, if you get a Messagebox saying that the MIDI-Mapper could not
- be found you should try to restart your computer and then run MusicMaker.
- The installer program puts an entry into the SYSTEM.INI file telling
- Windows to use the MIDI-Mapper. The SYSTEM.INI file is only read by
- Windows at startup, so restarting Windows is necessary in that case.
-
- If you still get a Messagebox saying that the MIDI-Mapper could not be
- found then the actual driver file for MIDI-Mapper is missing on your
- computer. If that's the case then get the file named MIDIMAP.DRV from
- your Windows installation disks and install it via Control Panel->Drivers.
- You will also get this message if you are using an ivalid Midimap (a
- Midimap which has entries that refer to a not currently installed sound
- device).
-
- If you run SMS MusicMaker without MIDI-Mapper it will use the first MIDI
- device it can find. That may well be the external port of your soundcard.
- In that case you will hear no MIDI sound unless you connect an external
- MIDI divice to your soundcard.
