Using Sound on Your PC Upgrading to Wave Table Quality 4 In your sequencer program, for each track select an output port, a channel number, and a patch number or name: • The output port defines where the track is to be sent for playback. For example, select FM Synth for the computer's sound board or MIDI Out for your keyboard. Bear in mind how many different instrument voices your keyboard is capable of playing back at the same time. • The channel number lets you "tune in" a particular keyboard or module to this track. Do not select the same channel number for two different tracks unless they use the same patch (voice). • The patch is the instrument voice. Your sequencer program may let you select a MIDI patch number or an instrument name. 5 On your keyboard instrument, select a channel number or numbers on which to receive MIDI information. The channel number(s) depends on which track(s) you want to play back through your keyboard, as set up in your sequencer program. If in doubt, select channels 1, 2, 3, and so on. You can usually change the channel number(s) as you play back a piece of music. Upgrading to Wave Table Quality If you are running Windows 95, you can upgrade your MIDI playback to wave table quality by installing the wave table software that is included on your CD-ROM. For instructions on how to install this software, refer to "Upgrading to Wave Table Quality" in Installing Your Multimedia Sound Kit guide. English 21
