INF: Specifying Custom Driver Patches for Sound Boards ID Number: Q71020

1.00 WINDOWS

Summary:

The AdLib and Sound Blaster drivers for Microsoft Multimedia Windows do not accept patch change information through the SysEx function or otherwise. Therefore, an application cannot perform bulk editing can be done because the driver does not accept (or reply to) bulk dump requests.

The standard patches are implemented in the drivers, which will be available to MIDI authors. If your application downloads custom patches in a device-dependent manner (for example, through SysEx), please inform Microsoft Product Support Services of this.
