# Playing music through your MT-32

If you’re lucky enough to have a real Roland MT-32 Sound Module and a USB-to-MIDI adapter, then you can play DOS game music through it. This will provide much better music in games that were composed for it.

### To make a game use your MT-32:

1. Connect your MT-32 to your Mac using a USB-to-MIDI adapter, and turn it on.
2. Open the game’s DOSBox Configuration file.
3. Paste the following lines into the configuration file:

       [midi]
       mididevice=coremidi
       midiconfig=0 delaysysex

4. If the game has a sound setup utility, run it before playing and choose the MT-32 as the music device.
5. Start up the game and enjoy the rich, vibrant music pouring out of your expensive music hardware.

You will need to do these steps for each game that you want to play through the MT-32: otherwise the game’s MIDI music will be sent through OS X’s builtin MIDI synth instead.

If you have a later-model MT-32 with a headphone jack, you can remove the `delaysysex` flag to reduce game loading times. This flag delays MIDI signals and is only necessary for older MT-32 models, which would otherwise miss custom instruments (or stop playing altogether) if the game sends signals too fast.
