The MIDI Mapper provides filtering and changing of musical events to allow
music to sound similar on all hardware.
Sound Card installation programs often set up a custom MIDI Map which can be
accessed from Windows' Control Panel. The three types of maps are:
- Base-level (MIDI Channels 13 to 16, drums on 16)
- Extended-level (MIDI Channels 1 to 10, drums on 10)
- General MIDI (MIDI Channels 1 to 16, drums on 10)
Please identify which map type is being used so that your Midisoft software will
use the appropriate channels.
Common examples for default MIDI Mappings are:
- Ad Lib Gold: Extended-level
- Ad Lib (original): Base-level
- Media Vision Pro Audio Spectrum Plus/16, Fusion CD, CDPC:
Internal Sound: Base-level
External MIDI: Extended-level
- Roland MPU 401/compatables, SCC-1: No MIDI Mapper
- Sound Blaster 1.0/1.5: Internal Sound: Base-level
External MIDI: Extended-level
- Sound Blaster Pro: Internal Sound: Base or Extended-level
External MIDI: Extended-level
- Others: Try all choices, reloading a MIDI file after each selection.
---- Trouble-shooting Hints ----
IF SONG PLAYS BUT DOESN'T PRODUCE SOUND:
1) Exit the Midisoft software.
2) Run Windows' "Media Player" from the "Applications" group.
3) Load and play "CANYON.MID" from your Windows directory.
4) Music indicates that the MIDI Mapper is properly installed in Windows.
5) No sound indicates a problem with the mapping or MIDI connection to
Windows. UNTIL MEDIA PLAYER WORKS, MIDISOFT SOFTWARE WON'T!
6) Follow the instructions from your sound card manufacturer to properly
install the card and Windows drivers.
7) Verify that the MIDI Mapper is present in the Control Panel. If it is
not, install the Windows' drivers.
8) Open the MIDI Mapper and click on "Edit."
9) The setup shows which device each MIDI Channel is ported to. Verify
that the correct ports are selected.
