MIDI - setting up the virtual MPU-401 driver
Included with Monterey is an applet for enabling and disabling a feature
called Virtual MPU. When enabled, you can shell out to a DOS window and run 
a DOS application, like a sequencer, that requires an MPU-401 interface.

If you wish to use this applet, follow this procedure:

1. After completing normal installation, copy the VMSMPUD.386 from the MPU 
   directory of the installation diskette into the c:\windows\system 
   directory.

2. Copy MSNDMPU.EXE from the MPU directory of the installation diskette 
   into your \MSNDAPPS directory.

3. Select Run from the File menu in the File Manager.

4. Type SYSEDIT and click OK.

5. Add DEVICE=VMSMPUD.386 to the [386Enh] section of the c:\windows\system.ini
   file.
   
6. Add [VMSMPUD] and ENABLE=0 to the end of the c:\windows\system.ini file.

7. Select New option under the Program Manager's File.

8. Type \MSNDAPPS\MSNDMPU.EXE at the command line to create an icon for 
   the MPU enable/disable window.

When you wish to use the MPU-401 emulation, restart Windows as usual and click
on the MSNDMPU icon--Enable MPU emulation.

IMPORTANT NOTE: When the MPU-401 emulation is enabled, the standard Monterey 
MIDI devices are not available. This means that you will only have one MIDI 
device available from within a sequencer. Also, when the MPU-401 is enabled, 
digital audio recording is not available.
