I have tried out the Windows version of Lemmings and what is known here in Germany as Battle Isle 3.
#MICROSOFT MIDI MAPPER WINDOWS 10 SOFTWARE#
However, I am also trying to get old pre-DirectX games to use my hardware midi stuff and not the software midi provided with Windows. And your little goodie is the only programme that I found to work under Windows 8.1 64bit! Looks like things are not that simple after all. It works flawlessly with things like the Windows Media Player. It takes no parameters, and simply returns the number of output devices.įirst of all thanks for a rather useful little programme. To retrieve all the MIDI out devices turns out to be trivial - although it requires the use of a little PInvoke, calling a function in winmm.dll: midiOutGetNumDevs.

Not all devices create these Registry entries, hence they weren't all shown by the application. The problem with my previous solution was that it used the Registry to retrieve information about installed devices. I'm currently in the process of writing a comprehensive managed wrapper around all things MIDI, and it occurred to me that I should revisit the problem and solve it conclusively as part of that project. Some people didn't get any devices listed, others only a selection of the ones available. In February 2008, I made a tiny application to address this which worked fine on my Vista systems and I made publicly available elsewhere. For some reason, Microsoft decided to remove this option in Vista, and it hasn't reappeared in any service pack to date or in Windows 7 (Beta) either, even though there have been many requests for its inclusion. Pre Vista, you could select the playback device via Sounds and Audio Devices|Audio in the Control Panel. However, many users (including me and probably you as you're reading this) have superior or multiple devices, either software or hardware based, so we want/need to be able to select the playback device that the system uses. The average user only has one MIDI playback device on their system, the internal software synthesizer 'Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth', and any MIDI files are played back via that - no problem.
