Using Sound on Your PC
Connecting a MIDI Keyboard
You store your arrangements in a MIDI file, which is like an orchestral score—it can contain the sequence of notes for
many different instruments, indicating the pitch and duration of each note and the sort of instrument it should sound
like.
Setting Up
Your keyboard, Windows 95 settings, and sequencer program must all be set up correctly for you to record and play back
music satisfactorily.
It’s difficult to give precise instructions here for setting up, as the steps depend on your keyboard and on the music
software you are running. For more specific instructions, refer to the documentation that came with your keyboard and
software. However, here are some general guidelines that should help you get started and solve certain problems later.
