Tip!
Be sure to choose MIDI output devices from Options-MIDI Devices.
If you donÕt do this, you wonÕt hear any of your MIDI instruments
when you play songs in Pro Audio.
Using MIDI Devices After Making Driver Changes
If you later add or remove drivers using the Drivers icon of the Windows
Control Panel, Pro Audio reacts in the following way:
¥ If you remove a Control Panel driver, Pro Audio will not use the
device it belongs to the next time you run the program. Any other
devices you had selected using the Options-MIDI Devices
command will remain selected.
¥ If you add a driver through the Control Panel, Pro Audio does not
automatically use it. You must use the Options-MIDI Devices
command to add the new driver to Pro AudioÕs list.
Note:
After you add or remove a driver with the Drivers icon in the
Windows Control Panel, you must restart Windows for the change
to take effect.
Defining Your MIDI Instrument or Sound Card
Once you have selected your MIDI Input and Output devices, Pro Audio,
by default, plays back MIDI sequences using a General MIDI
instrument deÞnition. If you are using a synthesizer or sound card that
does not adhere to the General MIDI standard, you may want to deÞne
that instrument. For information about instrument deÞnitions, see
Chapter 10, Using Instrument DeÞnitions.
