- Subject: Miracle Piano Tutor (DOS) and MIDI Input.
-
- Hi GUS musicians!
- Forgive me if this has been asked before but has anyone got the Miracle
- Piano Tutor (DOS Version) working with just the gus (no additional soundcard
- or MPU401 adaptor?
-
- The installation program for it lets me select from MPU401, Soundblaster or
- Prosound Audio midi interface cards. If I choose MPU401 and run MEGAEM the
- Miracle Tutor plays its general midi sounds but does not respond to my
- external midi keyboard and to use the pogram as per its design it needs to
- read MIDI in signals to find out if the student is making mistakes.
-
- I have a gus version 3.7, version 4.11 of the Gravis Install disks. MIDI in
- and out are working fine under windows , and at least MIDI in is just fine
- under dos with programs in native mode (like MIDIFIER).
-
- I noticed in the readme file for MEGAEM that "the next version" will have
- MPU401 midi port emulation, so is there a newer version where this has been
- implimented? Should I use some other emulation like SBOS instead?
-
- Any help appreciated.
- Best regards,
- Trev

- I get that too it I find that very, very annoying and frustrating. Let's
- see, the last time I was able to use my keyboard using this method was
- about a week ago. Since then, Win95 locks up on me everytime I turn on
- the keyboard with a sequencer running.
-
- BTW, the Gravis person said "try different DMAs or IRQs"... I remember
- in the UltraSound MIDI setup, there was a DMA to fill in. What DMA must
- this be? Same as the GUS Playback or Recording DMA Channel?
