Terry,
I have a Hitachi multimedia notebook (Win95) with a Yamaha OPL3-SAx Sound system ( it appears to have game port support with a joystick icon in the "Control Panel"), but no actual hardware game port. It does have stereo mini-phone plug Line-in and Speaker-out, mono mini-phone plug mic-in, DB9 serial, DB25 parallel, PS2 miniDIN, DB9 external monitor, and USB.
The "multimedia" icon in the "Control Panel" shows MIDI configuration settings like the following (as well as audio and video device settings):
MIDI output
Single instrument (select one)
MIDI for Yamaha OPL3-SA MPU401
MIDI for Yamaha OPL3-SA SoftSynth
MIDI for Yamaha OPL3-SA FM Synthesizer
If I want to setup/control a Behringer 1100PRO feedback destroyer with it's MIDI control (I already have the Behringer software that allows selection of MIDI input and output devices), will the Midiman PortmanPC/P (parallel port adapter connection) give me all the connections I need?
www.midiman.net/midiman.htm
I assume the connection is only DIN-5/In and DIN-5/Out on the Behringer and the Parallel port on the Notebook PC running Windows 95.
Will I select 1 of the 3 Yamaha devices above for MIDI output? or does the Behringer have to be connected to the parallel port first and be running?
