Midi out from media player..?

[Andywanders]

Does anyone know if it's possible to play a MIDI file in Windows media player and get the MIDI data out to an external sound module..?

I want to audition a bunch of MIDI files quickly and I don't like the soundcard's GM sounds, so I want to use a Yamaha QY70 which has excellent sounds.

Of course, I can use my host program to do this, but it takes too long for each file. Win media player is much faster.

Any ideas..?

In XP:
control panel->sounds and audio devices->audio->midi playback->change default device to your midi port

You can do this in a similar way in windows 98/2000 as well.

Thanks Stefan, I'll have a look there.

BTW. I'm on Win 98 SE.
