SoundBlaster16 route MIDI-IN to FM Synth

[maferv]

Hello geniuses,

I'm trying to use a MIDI Keyboard Casio PX-310 with a Sound Blaster 16 ISA no PnP, so that when I play the keyboard, the SB16 FM Synth plays. The system is Win98SE (that means that MS-DOS 7.11 is also an alternative).

I tried with MIDI-OX to some degree of success. If open MIDI-OX I get sound, it works but as soon as I play a single keyboard key I get this error on screen:
 
  An error has ocurred in your program. To keep working anyway,
click Ignore and save your work in a new file. To quit this program, click Close.
 You will lose information you entered since your last Save.
 
If I click Close, I'll get a system freeze and this message:

Code: [Select]

If I keep playing, then the screen goes blank but it continues working anyway. Then I have to reset.
 
What could be the problem here? Would you recommend a different way to achieve my goal of playing the keyboard with the SB16 Synth? Perhaps using another software for Win98, or for MS-DOS?
 
Thank you.

Assuming the correct jumpers are set on the card and its not a conflict with another device with same IRQ etc, are you sure the system your using is completely healthy such as the RAM is good. Do you have two RAM sticks in this system in which you can run it on just a single stick of RAM to make sure its not RAM related where a bad address is reached?

The system is working pretty good. Since you mentioned it, I tried with a single RAM stick (128 MB) and the result is the same. I even checked it with Memtest86.

I recently tried an older version of MIDI-OX, that is to say MIDI-OX 16. Now I don't get the system freeze, but many notes still hang. So I don't really like MIDI-OX by now.

Do you know of any alternative for Windows 9x or simply for MS-DOS that achieves the same result? That's what I'm looking for.

Thanks
