Munt MT-32 emulator VSTi
is a portable VST 2.4 instrument/software MIDI synthesizer for Windows that is based on Munt.
It is primarily developed for my Soundfont Midi Player to integrate MT-32 support but apart from this it is a full fledged VSTi plugin.
You need the MT-32/CM-64 Control and PCM ROM images to use it. Unfortunately it is not legally allowed to redistribute these files.
But if you do not have the proper ROM files you can try these images.
In the package both x86 and x64 versions are included for different x86/x64 hosts.
Using x86/x64 host bridges are not recommended.
Mt32emu4v.dll has to be copied to the same (VST) directory as MuntVsti.dll.
Supported MIDI events/controllers can be found in Roland's documentation.
Contrary to normal Munt releases x86 version of MuntVsti works even on Win9x.
Notice:
Since Munt only supports 32000, 48000, and 96000 Hz, you have to set one of these sample rates in the host.
These frequencies correspond the COARSE, ACCURATE, OVERSAMPLED analog output modes in Munt.
Since Munt also uses 32kHz internally for timestamps in order to get the most accurate timings 32kHz is recommended.
But 96kHz is still preferred to 48kHz.
Tested Hosts:
Features:
- Fast and lightweight.
- Supports 32 bit and emulated 64 bit processing.
- Supports a native MT-32/CM-64 compatible midi system mode and a special almost GM compatible mode.
- Supports 3 different Channel assignments (2..10; 1..8,10; 9,11..16) so with 2 instances you can get full GM channel spectrum.
- Supports all the different reverb and other emulation options that Munt offers.
- Supports 11 parameters for options that are not (or not easily) Midi controllable.
- Adjustable maximum partials up to 64.
- Can send midiProgramNames to hosts that support it.
