Atari Midi to PC Windows

[NGF]

So I got a Midi2Usb cable working between my TT and PC (windows 7). What are my options now?
I'm pretty impressed with the midi output from games (for example Ultima 3) into the PCs playback, almost like having a soundcard. Is there some special software that can handle this with different synth instruments and such? I'm trying out Anvil Studio right now but there must be better programs for this?

Look here, emulation of Roland MT 32: https://sourceforge.net/projects/munt/

Thank! Will try it out

I believe Roland made/make a software version of their Sound Canvas. So that might be OK for General MIDI stuff. Did any ST games output General MIDI?

Kings Quest and some more of this series

There is a list of ST games that are using MIDI music here: http://www.atari-forum.com/viewtopic.ph ... 4&p=162584

I imagine a lot of ST games pre-date General MIDI becoming popular. Some of those listed games use the MT-32. Others don't output patch changes and require you to select instrument sounds. I remember Chopper-X doing that.
