You will then be presented with a dialog like the one below:
Select MIDI Input and Output Driver dialog.
The program will play the MIDI music using the driver you specify here. In this
example, we have selected the Creative MIDI Instrument Mapper (shown in the
right-hand column), which is a common MIDI device driver setting for the
Creative Labs Sound Blaster AWE32/64 line of sound cards.
The Synth Output Latency Delay in MS
setting is used in the special case when
you have a "Software Synthesizer" installed in your system which generates a
MIDI delay, or latency. If you have such a device installed, and you wish to use
this device for MIDI Output, you should refer to the documentation that came
with your "Software Synthesizer" to obtain the correct Latency setting. (e.g., A
Roland VSC-55/88 usually uses a latency setting of 420ms on a typical Pentium
system.)
OPTIONALLY SELECT AN INPUT DRIVER
.
If you want to play along with the program using a computer-MIDI controller
setup (i.e. Synthesizer Keyboard, MIDI Guitar, etc. connected to your computer),
you can utilize the MIDI THRU function of the program by selecting a MIDI
driver for INPUT.
Otherwise, you can leave the INPUT DRIVER set to <NONE> as the program
does not require an INPUT DRIVER in order to function. In our example (left-
column shown in figure above) we have selected the SB16 MIDI In [330] driver,
since we have a MIDI-controller Keyboard connected to the MIDI-IN port of the
Soundblaster sound card.
