Still cannot get sound

[dj]

Hi, gatley:

In the User's Guide, under the Configuring Your Soundcard and Midi Equipment section, there is a section on What To Do If Recording Does Not Work.

Yes, you'd have to switch your keyborad on first or else the driver is not active and Composer can't sense it on startup.

By "the green dot blinks nothing sounds and nothing appears in the box asking for the instrument", I believe you are speaking of the Quick Midi Device Setup dialogue box.

If so, does the RED dot on that box blink while you are playing your keyboard? And does the name of the midi port appear in the box?

If not, the port is not being found by Composer. If so, it's been found and now we have to find out why it's not recording.

Try that quick test first and see where you are, then step through the What To Do If Recording Does Not Work section. Let me know how it works out.
