7.2 Configuring MIDI Setups

   When  you  set  up  Windows  version  3.1,  Setup  copies  the  multimedia
   extensions MIDI-setup file  MIDIMAP.CFG to MIDIMAP.OLD,  and then replaces
   it with an updated version. This  version contains several new MIDI setups
   that support playing MIDI  information authored according  to General MIDI
   guidelines. If you want to use a setup in the new MIDIMAP.CFG file and are
   using sound drivers  that are not  provided by  Windows, you  will need to
   change the port settings to match the ports  used by your sound device. To
   do this, use the MIDI Mapper option in Control Panel.

   You can  also  use the  original  MIDIMAP.CFG file  (renamed  by  Setup to
   MIDIMAP.OLD). You  might want  to do  this if  the original  file contains
   custom MIDI setups that you created yourself or that were provided by your
   sound-device manufacturer. To use the original file, rename MIDIMAP.CFG to
   MIDIMAP.WIN, and  then  rename  MIDIMAP.OLD to  MIDIMAP.CFG.  If  the port
   settings in your  original setups  refer to  the Ad  Lib or  Sound Blaster
   ports and you are  using different drivers,  then you will  need to change
   the port settings to match the output ports used by your sound device.

   For more information  about using MIDI  Mapper to modify  MIDI setups, see
   Chapter 5, "Control Panel," in the Microsoft Windows User's Guide.
