I hope i didn't scare you away with my constant nagging? :-/
(Sorry about that!)

With help of Davey Wentzler i have now had the experience
to enjoy listening to sound coming out of my MT-32

One problem, though

The only program to play MIDI thru my hardware so far - Horny
dg midi player is silent (doesn't send any data, for
me it's not even reaching the MT-32 - as would be displayed
in the hardware display if successful) as was for Davey.

Any ideas on what went wrong and on other programs i maybe
able to send "normal" .mid, .midi files to listen to?

Many thanks, Lyle

You should see something on Showkeys, even if MIDI OUT isn't working..

What program are you playing MIDI with? Horny? DG_MidiPlayer? Something else?

Try This:
Open ShowKeys, then click on "Source" and tell me what your choices are.. That's a good starting point.

Better yet.. If you don't know where "DG_Midi" is sending it's output, try reading your choices from ShowKeys WHILE DG is playing.. You may see an "extra" cluster being created by DG.. Maybe..

Or, if you're a shell kind of guy, try "ShowClusters" for a list of all current clusters. Did I release ShowClusters yet? I'm not sure.

Horny

No Connection
via686.in.0
via686.out.0

in.0
out.0
(these two are added when i have Horny open and load a project)

the "out.0" is deleted again, when i choose via686.out.0 in
Horny's settings

Cluster means "in.0" or "out.0" for example?

Nothing created by dg midi player, only by Horny as mentioned
above

You did

No extra cluster coming from dg midi player

Playing a song in Horny does let Showkeys jump in, though

OK.. At least we know DG is not creating an unexpected output cluster.. or it would have shown up.

And you know how to use ShowKeys to "test" a cluster for MIDI traffic (note messages, at least)

I don't know why DG is giving you troubles, as it works well here. Maybe you need reqtools.library? I know that earlier versions needed it, I do not know if that requirement was later removed.

Glad your MT is playing though. That's good news.

Well i had 39.3 installed
when i took it out it was the same, so, no need for it

Still no sound from dg midi player, though

edit: seems it is VERY picky on midi files, i got it crashed
by simply feeding non conform files...bad crashes

Just to let you all know, its working

PlayFM from this package does a wonderful job playing
through my hardware.
It's an 68k exe but works flawlessly under OS4 and as a
little bonus there's a program called "Fireworks" which is
running nicely for me too. It draws a firework on a skyline
background while playing a MIDI file - neat

Thanks to lylehaze for all the help
