Re: Stuff and Things.
Got mine set up and thought I'd got some rooms too, will have to sort through them and see if I can get any to work. Otherwise the config is set and it displays, just says synth unavailable just now.
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.

Mine is now 100% tested
I hooked it up to Notator on one of my Mega ST's:
And you can see the channel bars doing their thang:
I did make a config boo boo though, I had output set as pwm but it should have been set to i2s as it was the DAC output I was using and not the headphone jack. I've updated the config on my earlier post to reflect that.
Both MT-32 and Soundfont mode worked just fine.
Need to go and get some of the midi enable games and test them out

Re: Stuff and Things.
