 OK, I am connected, how do I send MIDI music from my PC to the DEC?
A computer typically lets you direct a MIDI file to several different places. By default, most computers
send MIDI data to the computer soundcard. If you were to "play" a MIDI file right now, you probably
would hear audio coming from your computer speakers. We will need to re-direct the MIDI data to the
DEC.
To send MIDI data to the DEC you must tell the computer to direct the MIDI data to the MIDI connector
you have attached to the DEC. Figure 4 shows the Windows XP control panel that selects MIDI ports. In
XP you find this panel in "Control Panel/Sounds and Audio Properties." Figure 4 shows that the MIDI file
will be sent out through the "SB Live! MIDI UART" to the DEC. SB Live! is the name of the soundcard
and the MIDI UART is the hardware device that will transmit the signal. Figure 5 is an alternate
configuration for those who wish to use a USB/MIDI adapter to connect to the DEC. In Figure 5 the device
is the USB MIDI 1x1. This is the name that M-Audio gave the driver for its UNO product.
