2.3 SELECTING A MIDI DEVICE

To control AXS from an external MIDI device (like a master-keyboard, a sequencer or another computer) AXS has support for several types of MIDI-IN devices.
  • COM-MIDI for MIDI communication using a serial port (COM1/COM2).
  • GUS-MIDI for MIDI communication using a Gravis UltraSound.
  • SB-MIDI for MIDI communication using a SoundBlaster.
  • MPU-MIDI for MIDI communication using a MPU-401.
To select which MIDI ports AXS should use, open the file AXS.INI and modify the MIDIDEVICE= settings. More than one MIDIDEVICE can be active at one time, so multiple MIDIDEVICE= lines in the file AXS.INI are accepted.

Note:
  • The SB-MIDI does not function correctly when SB is also selected as a wavedevice. This problems seems to occur in almost every DOS program which uses both SB wave and SB MIDI.
  • The GUS-MIDI does not function correctly on a GUS PnP when the PnP card is also used as wavedevice (CODEC).
