MIDI Tab

Destination for DOS Box MIDI Out

This list box selects how MIDI is handled by programs running in DOS boxes.

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

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

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

Wavetable Mode

64 Voice, Pro Quality – Wavetable engine is optimized for 64 voices and premium quality.

64 Voice, Game Quality – Wavetable engine is optimized for 64 voices with lower CPU utilization.

32 Voice, Pro Quality – Wavetable engine is optimized for 32 voices. CPU utilization in 32-voice mode is significantly less than that in 64-voice, game quality mode.

Wavetable Effects

When some MIDI songs start, they request particular amounts of chorus and reverb in the sound. These controls allow fine tuning of the chorus and reverb effects.

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

Reverb and Chorus Sliders – These sliders increase the amount of chorus and reverb over the levels set  by the MIDI file. You can change these settings while a song is playing. A zero setting selects the same amount of chorus and reverb 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 reverb and chorus, the sliders have no effect.
