I can't remember how I have my setup configured, but you should be able to get the prefs tool working if you install ClassAct.

Ah, you're right - rereading the readme I see that it will need OS 3.5 for the GUI.

It's been about a year since I experimented with AMidi, trying to remember how I had it working...

There are no software instruments in the install archive. Does one of the docs say anything about TiMIDIty instruments? That might be what you need for software playback, but it might be PPC only. For hardware playback, you need an external device and CAMD. In that case, AMidi serves as a wrapper for CAMD.

I don't think it's possible to map AMidi to GMPlay... although maybe it can use GMPlay's software instruments.

Based on that SnoopDOS output, the config file is ENV:AMidi/amidi.prefs.
Remember to copy it back to ENVARC:AMidi when you're done editing.

Okay, I've now got my setup in front of me, and I can't get PlayMIDI working either. Simon2Jukebox works, though...

The config file should be usable out of the box, and you do need GUS patches to go in DEVS:AMidi/Patches. WarpOS is required for the software driver.

That's what the docs say, at least. I could swear I had this working before...

EDIT: Okay, now it's working. I set the AMIDI_PATCHPATH env var, rebooted, and Blue Danube is now pouring out of my speakers. Not sure if the env var did it, or what, but there you have it.
