Hi,
while experimenting with MIDI related stuff...:
a) MIDI mapper in W2K, XP, Win7/8 --> information, tools and stuff and
how 32bit / 64bit apps "see"/detect the MIDI mappers/device in the different windows operating systems
b) (because it was not done before) capturing TYRIAN MIDI outputs to seperate MIDI files (details here: https://www.google.com/search?q=tyrian+borg)
(open the midi file properties in "Winamp" or in "1by1" (while using in_midi.dll from Winamp) or check the Tyrian MIDI file properties in Windows 9x/ME/W2K.... there is a little surprise ;-) )
c) MIDI messages and a selfmade MIDI cable (which I later did send to a friend --> http://www.mirsoft.info/gamemids-ripping-guide.php)
d) MIDI over TCP / IP / NET
e) MIDI-OX , MIDI YOKE
f) Hairless MIDI<->Serial Bridge
g) MUNT, WinGRoove, BASSMIDI driver
...I also tried VirtualMIDISynth and I really like it especially on "new" operating systems - e.g. while playing good old DOS games or playing with my external keybard.
"New" --> referring lost MIDI features like selecting a default MIDI device inside Windows Vista and later etc...
I also like VirtualMIDISynth on new generic low-cost sound devices / onboard sound devices (Intel etc...) where only the "Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth" is available.
So, now I hope you could understand, why I feel that supporting VirtualMIDISynth with a "small" ;) PayPal donation last and this year was/is a good decision.
I just like VirtualMIDISynth and I just liked it to do a donation.
Well, in future the ECW file format / ECW soundfont support in VirtualMIDISynth would be really, really great.
ECW soundfonts have an unique great sound.
Currently VirtualMIDIsynth seems to use one method: BASSMIDI library
Maybe you can add or programm a second interface to VirtualMIDIsynth (beside the existing BASSMIDI library) which additionally supports ECW file loading.
Maybe/hopefully the last paypal donations I did this year and last year could support you to realize this ECW feature in future. :) (y)
Here are some informations about ECW:

Furthermore realising a virtual OPL2/OPL3-MIDI driver would be great.
Thank you very much.

Since this is one of the largest donations I've received so far, I'd like to know - if you'd like to share - some more info about how you use VMS and MIDIMapper and how they helped in your job/hobby. Anyway feel free to post on the forum your suggestions about missing features you'd like to be implemented in the future. Best regards --- Claudio Nicora CoolSoft
