<p class="MsoNormal">Using virtual machines has always been a problem for me. The first problem I always encounter is difficulty getting a legal machine image. I can find Win3.1 and Win95 images but WinXP is impossible to find. The next problem is bit rot.
In my case, I was using Cakewalk 3.01 (16 bits from Win3.1 days). It was working great under WinXP. There is no hope to getting it working in Win10, VM or not. The HW doesn’t exist anymore so any drivers needed (or available) in a Win3.1 VM are useless.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p>Has anyone been successful running a sequencer in a VM machine?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Most of my experiences running SW in a VM that uses hardware or needs to be real time has been bad. But then it's been a while ago since I've tried this.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="ox-5b6de39e8a-msonormal">(Off topic, sorry)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="ox-5b6de39e8a-msonormal">My ancient WinXP computer died last week and has left me orphaned with a bunch of MIDI equipment with no way to control it. I have a Win10 computer but my legacy MIDI SW won’t work on it (64 bits). My biggest loss is I have
no MIDI sequencer. Can anyone recommend a free or low cost MIDI sequencer? I’m trying to avoid investing time evaluating a number of sequencers that I’ll eventually drop.<o:p></o:p></p>
