MIDI Controller with Sound Card
Caution: Make sure your computer is powered off before making these connections.
In this setup you have a MIDI controller connected to your computer. Because the MIDI controller has no sounds of its own, you'll use the sound card to produce sounds when you play the controller. To do this, you'll need to check the Use MIDI Echo check box on the MIDI page of the Preferences dialog. Then, whenever MUSIC LESSONS II receives MIDI data from the controller, it will echo it to the sound card. See page 33.
You'll need one MIDI cable to connect your MIDI controller to your computer. Notes played on the controller are sent to the computer following this cable path: MIDI OUT on the controller goes to MIDI IN on the MIDI interface.
For this setup, the driver settings on the MIDI page of the Preferences dialog might look like this:
Both Input and Output drivers must be specified. You'll use a MIDI Input driver and a sound card driver Output driver. MIDI Input drivers often have "MIDI," "external," or "MPU-401" in their names. Sound card Output drivers often have "FM," "OPL," or "synth" in their names. If more than one driver is listed, there is no harm in trying them all; one should work. The names of the drivers may be different on your system.
You can answer questions by playing the controller, and MUSIC LESSONS II will play sounds through the sound card. To hear them, you'll need to connect headphones or speakers to the sound card.
