Midi Translator DirectMusic Driver Version History

  • The driver now supports daisy-chained devices. Up to 4 Midi Translators can be linked and used as one big device.
  • Added an option to tweak the parallel port communication speed.
  • Fixed a problem where using the driver in combination with Syncrosoft protection devices could lead to a system crash.
  • Fixed a problem where only the first instance of a MIDI port would receive valid system real time messages (multi-client issue).
  • Optimized transmission of MIDI data. Transmission is improved slightly by using a different driver design.
  • The driver now uses less system resources.
  • Fixed some bugs that could cause problems when multiple instances of a port were used, potentially leading to a BSOD.
  • Fixed a problem with system exclusive messages of certain sizes. They could cause data loss and memory corruption, sometimes leading to BSOD's.
  • Reduced the driver's memory consumption considerably.
  • Improved the handling of system realtime messages. Although I am not certain if anyone has had problems with this, it is nice to know that these messages are now handled in accordance with the MIDI specifications.
  • Fixed a problem with MIDI running status and active sensing.
  • Solved data corruption problems with system exclusive messages in applications using the DirectMusic API.
  • Optimized code, reducing CPU load by 30 to 40 percent.
  • First version of the DirectMusic driver, implementing multi-client capability and timestamping of input data.
  • Introduced PortNamer utility to rename individual ports.
  • Introduced installer application for easy installing.
