Re: disabling virtualmidisynth?

I worry you are.

But I still wonder why uninstalling it will restore things up.
It should have the same effect...

Re: disabling virtualmidisynth?

I'd rather not, I have too much soundfonts and settings and stuff, and uninstalling it every time i wanted to use my midi device would be a chore.

Re: disabling virtualmidisynth?

Well, there could be another workaround, but it's a little bit complicated: save registry key containing MIDI configuration before/after VirtualMIDISynth installation:

  • completely remove VirtualMIDISynth (if installed)
  • export these two Registry keys to a .reg file by running these commands in an Admin command prompt:
    REG EXPORT "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32" temp1.reg
    REG
    EXPORT "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32" temp2.reg (only on 64bit systems)
    COPY /Y /B temp*.reg NotInstalled.reg
    DEL /Q temp*.reg
  • now install VirtualMIDISynth and configure it
  • export the same keys again (note the different final .reg filename):
    REG EXPORT "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32" temp1.reg
    REG
    EXPORT "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32" temp2.reg (only on 64bit systems)
    COPY /Y /B temp*.reg Installed.reg
    DEL /Q temp*.reg
  • now you can double click on NotInstalled*.reg file to set the MIDI configuration as it were before VirtualMIDISynth installation, while double clicking on Installed.reg file should reactivate VirtualMIDISynth
  • if it all works, you can add this workaround to the previous "DLL renaming" batch file by automating registry changes:
    REG IMPORT

Please let me know if it works...

Re: disabling virtualmidisynth?

Oh my goodness, I completely forgot about this. I am so, so sorry.

 

I tried that a few times, and that didn't quite work. VMS became disabled, but the default midi sounds played instead of my hardware device.

If it's possible, I'd like to request an option that allows you to choose the midi out device within VMS, instead of VMS taking over by default. Maybe something like this.

That's exactly what CoolSoft MIDIMapper was built for.

Porting its functions in VMS is useless ;)
