Appendix B: Troubleshooting & Drivers52
The program will display the list of drivers that are installed into the Windows |
Control Panel. The list is displayed in the
FILE | OPTIONS| MIDI DRIVERS
Dialog. If you don't see your driver displayed, it may mean:
The driver has NOT been installed into your Windows System. Run the Settings
|Control Panel | Multimedia Drivers program. There you should see a list of the
drivers installed. If your driver is not on that list, then you may need to install it
using the disks that came with your soundcard.7
If you have an MPU401 MIDI interface, then you'll want to use the MPU-
401 driver
This is a MIDI driver made by Microsoft. It comes with Windows 3.1 (or higher.)
If you have an MPU401 MIDI interface, or a Roland or Yamaha card, then you
should install this driver.
Note:
The Sound Blaster 16 is also partly MPU-401 compatible
.
If you have a
Sound Blaster 16, make sure that you don't have both the SB16 MIDI Out and the
Roland MPU401 installed, as they will conflict with each other.
Other causes of NO OUTPUT
Make sure the channels are set correctly with drums set to the drum channel.
Older FM-type soundcards use drum channel=16, whereas newer soundcards and
all General MIDI sound sources use drum channel=10.
Output doesn't sound right
Make sure your channels are set correctly with drums set to the drum channel (i.e.
10). Send a GENERAL MIDI MODE-ON. Or, if your module is Yamaha XG-
compatible, send a XG-MODE ON command (available in the File Menu.)
MIDI Notation doesn't look right
Check to see if you have these files installed in your windows\system directory:
PGMUS. TTF is a file required to show notation in the notation window. It should
be located in the C:\Windows\System folder. If not, it can be found on your
program CD-ROM. (You may have to rename the file from PGMUS0.TTF to
PGMUS.TTF.)
