I run a Korg wavetable daughter board on your standard
common garden Yamaha based soundcard, but I would also
like to run a Goldstar synth card which uses the
MPU-401 driver. My experience to date is that they
conflict!! The Korg card dominates and the Goldstar
seems to lose it's ability to turn off notes ending up
with a cacophony of noise when playing files. The only
theories I have as to why this happens is that 1) both
cards use the 330 address with no hardware jumpers to
change this or 2)the MPU-401 driver I am using (Original
Win95)just doesn't have what it takes??!! Another
question is -is it possible to shut down sound card
midi sounds on my sequencer (Power Tracks Pro) on a
track by track basis but still output mididata to an
external sound module?
