MIDI Tab

Destination for DOS Box MIDI Out

In Windows, this list box selects how MIDI is handled by programs running in DOS boxes. In Windows NT, this list box is not available.

Vortex AU8810 MPU-401 - This sends MIDI to an external synthesizer attached to the MIDI port.

Vortex AU8810 Wavetable - This sends MIDI to the Vortex music synthesizer.

If you do not have an external synthesizer connected, select "Vortex AU8810 Wavetable."

Wavetable Mode

Use this list box to select the total number of wavetable voices made available for internal wavetable processing. More voices require more CPU power. This option has no effect on a MIDI stream that is sent out the MPU-401 port.

Wavetable Effects

When some MIDI songs start, they request particular amounts of effects in the sound, such as chorus and reverb. There are nine possible effects to choose from: Delay,  Room reverb,  Chamber reverb,  Hall reverb,  Cabinet,  Chorus, Flange, Distortion, and Wah-Wah. The same effect can not be selected twice.

Effects Checkbox – You can disable wavetable effects with this checkbox. If effects are disabled, no effects are heard, even if songs request it. This checkbox overrides the slider settings.

Effect 1 and Effect 2 Sliders – These sliders increase the amount of effects over the levels set by the MIDI file using controllers 91 and 93 respectively. You can change these settings while a song is playing.  A zero setting selects the same amount of effect as set in the song. Moving the sliders up increases the effects level until the effect reaches its maximum possible level. If the song sets the maximum possible effect levels, the sliders have no effect.

Download

This button opens a file browser for selecting an alternate instrument set. Press "Open" to download the instruments to the wavetable. The wavetable file must be in DLS format.

After downloading, the new instruments are used instead of the previous instruments. To reload the factory presets, download the file "au10gm.arl” located in the System folder of your Windows directory.
