  Nope.  MSP.EXE is a pure DOS program and Wingroove, and its bits, are
Windows.

  I don't follow you !  I can record MIDI to WAV, get 35 - 45 MB WAV
files, edit/trim/convert/whatever, then compress to either MP3 of OGG
files at 128 kbs or better, and all in Windows 3.1.
I use the software that came with the SB16 soundcard.

  And I can also edit AVI video (any that I have the codecs for) also in
W3.1, using the freeware MS editor. MOV and QT can be converted into AVI
for editing, then converted back using SMARTVID for win3.1 and DOS, also
freeware.  MPEG is a bit more involved, but there is old freeware that
can do it if you have the time and patience.

  If W3.1 has a limit at 16 MB, nobody told my computer.

   Well, Win3.1 sees all of the 64 MB RAM I have, with a swap file of
over twice that.
