Microsoft midi mapper plugin drivers#
If your soundcard doesn't have an hardware MIDI synth and you want to have lower latency you can try using VSTi instruments and set n-Track to use WaveRT, WDM or Asio drivers to allow low audio output latency.

The default is Midi Mapper, which matches the MIDI output device selected in the Start Menu/Control Panel/Sounds and audio devices/Audio as default device for "MIDI Music Playback" The desired MIDI outputs can be selected in the File/Settings/Preferences/MIDI/MIDI devices dialog box. If your soundcard has an hardware MIDI synth it should be preferred over the Microsoft MIDI synth. This may create sync problems with audio tracks and other MIDI tracks sent to hardware MIDI synths.
Microsoft midi mapper plugin software#
The Microsoft GS Wavetable SW Synth is a software synth, it adds approximately 1/10 of a second of delay between the time it receives a MIDI note and the time the note can be heard through the audio output.

I have latency/sync problems when using the Microsoft GS Wavetable SW Synth.You can find more info in the Using the program/MIDI/Instrument plug-ins online help topic. Alternatively you can use VSTi or DXi instrument plug-ins, which are software MIDI synths that run inside n-Track. If your computer has multiple audio output devices you can send the MIDI synth to a device different from the device used by n-Track (by selecting the device in the Start Menu/Control Panel/Sounds and audio devices/Audio dialog box). This doesn't happen with MME drivers because they can be shared by n-Track and the MIDI synth. If the same audio device selected there is also used by n-Track with WDM or Asio drivers, the MIDI output will not work as n-Track's connection to the audio output will prevent the Microsoft synth to access it. Unlike hardware MIDI synths the output of the software MIDI synth is sent to a regular audio device output, specifically to the audio device selected in the Start Menu/Control Panel/Sounds and audio devices/Audio dialog box as default device for "Sound playback".
Microsoft midi mapper plugin windows#
The Microsoft GS Wavetable SW Synth (the name may be diffent depending on the version of Windows and the language) is the Windows built-in MIDI synth.
