Since this question has been asked more than a time in last week, I just added a FAQ for it:
Hope it helps...

This really does help, thanks!
Is there any chance of making this an option in the program in the future?

Update: the batch file instructions were slightly wrong and my pc insists on using default midi sounds rather than my device, did i do something wrong?

Here's a quick checklist:
- have you run the disable.bat file as administrator (right-click --> Run as administrator)?
- after running the disable.bat file, is VirtualMIDISynth.dll file renamed to VirtualMIDISynth.dll.disabled?
- is the virtual device listed again in VirtualMIDISynth configurator MIDI Devices tab?
Please tell me which fixes they need so I can update the FAQ.wobuffet3 wrote:the batch file instructions were slightly wrong

Yes, I ran it as administrator, and both .dll files are renamed, and VMS is not listed under devices.
It was listed before, but I found a duplicate .dll which was not disabled, but I am still having the same problem.
Disable:
ren C:\Windows\System32\VirtualMIDISynth\VirtualMIDISynth.dll VirtualMIDISynth.dll.disabled
ren C:\Windows\SysWOW64\VirtualMIDISynth\VirtualMIDISynth.dll VirtualMIDISynth.dll.disabled
pause
Enable:
ren C:\Windows\System32\VirtualMIDISynth\VirtualMIDISynth.dll.disabled VirtualMIDISynth.dll
ren C:\Windows\SysWOW64\VirtualMIDISynth\VirtualMIDISynth.dll.disabled VirtualMIDISynth.dll
pause

If you're on Win7, I suppose you now have to set the new default device otherwise it will use the first configured one (usually the MS synth).
You could do it using VirtualMIDISynth configurator, MIDI tab.
If you're on Win8, well, you're out of luck if your MIDI client (player) doesn't have a MIDI-Out configuration setting.
See here for details.

That option is grayed out because MIDI Mapper has been completely removed in Win8, as I wrote in this blog post.
Sadly, MIDI devices ordering is not configurable (AFAIK) so applications that don't select a specific MIDI device could run in an unpredictable mode...
