how to install a midi synthesizer?

Recommended Posts

Install VirtualMIDISynth and use a soundfont with it. For starters use the scc1t2.sf2 soundfont which is the simplest and smallest. Set GZDoom and other ports to "Native MIDI" or "System" or however they call using the system MIDI.

+1 but i would recommend using this soundfont instead 

 

 

the great thing about VirtualMIDISynth is that it works with all source ports (from dosbox to gzdoom)

A few years ago I had managed to get Doom 95 working on Windows 8, it was pretty janky but the music was VirtualMIDISynth with that soundfont :D

 

It is installed as the default MIDI device so it also works with players like VLC!

There's also a soundfont based on the infamous Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth. If you somewhat like the sound of MIDIs based on "your default Windows XP soundfont". (Soundfont link in video description.)
