I just realized that Windows Media Player that I have on my PC refuses to play MIDI files. So I've to install a 3rd party player to do just that. I wonder what the "WMP Default Device" in VirtualMIDISynth Midi mapper settings do. Maybe for an older version of Windows where WMP actually can play MIDI files?

I've never used WMP to play MIDI/KAR files (in fact I've never used it at all;)).
I've always played them with VanBasco, which is lightweight and always allowed control on key/tempo and channels mute/solo.
Anyway, that setting was added to set the default ActiveMedia MIDI device to be used to play MIDI stream, and WMP is (still) supposed to read and use it.

AFAIK Windows Media Player on Windows 7 still works well; since Win7 is still supported by VMS I'll leave that setting there.
If much more users report that it's useless on Win10+, then I could hide/disable it on Win10 to clean up the GUI a little bit.
