No sound from Composer but OK with Player

Hi Steven,

I'm glad you're enjoying the trial version of Composer. It is fully functional for 30 days, so there's nothing "crippled" about it that should be causing the problem with sound from your Roland unit.

Since you get the sound you want with Player, there are a couple of quick and easy tests you can do.

Test 1

1. Open Composer and one of the files which is not giving you the playback you want.

2. Use Staff/Setup, and see which Playback Device is listed for the staves that sound wrong.

3. If the Device is something other than your Roland, click the Device heading and you can then enter a Device that will be set for all the staves of the song.



Test 2

1. Use Windows Explore and navigate to c:\Program Files\Notation\Composer\MidiDev.cfg

2. Rename that file to something like "MidiDevComposer.bak" (this way you can recover it later if you want.)

3. Now find c:\Program Files\Notation\Player\MidiDev.cfg

4. Copy that file into the c:\Program File\Notation\Composer folder.

5. Run Composer and play a file. Does that change the resulting sound?


If neither of the above resolves the problem, do let us know.

ttfn,
Sherry
