Windows 8 - Set Coolsoft VirtualMIDISynth as default device

Working with Windows 8.
The Windows GS Wavetable Synth is locked.

How to unlock and choose CoolSoft VirtualMIDISynth?

Sadly this is not possible, the MIDIMapper device has been removed completely.
You must use a MIDI player that allows MIDI device selection.
I'm going to write a blog post with my findings about this.

As a workaround, next VirtualMIDISynth version will have an option to set the default MIDI device for Active Movie based players (like Windows Media Player, Media Player Classic, ...).
