If a MIDI keyboard is attached to your soundcard you can determine the pitch of the notes by pressing the appropriate key on MIDI keyboard. To do this you should first test the MIDI IN device. To do this switch on MIDI echo (see Prepare replay) and press the MIDI read button (
)! Move the mouse pointer over an arbitrary staff!
Note
It is important to move the mouse over a staff because this way you determine the instrument which playes the tone!
If you now press a key on midikeyboard you should hear the appropriate tone played by the instrument attached to the staff the mouse is placed over (see the MIDI panel). If not then configure the MIDI input device:
→ →
A menu appears that shows all midi input ports. Select one and press OK. If the port doesn't work try a different port.
If all works then press moreover the insert key (
) and the keyboard insertion button (
). If you now place the mouse at a certain position on a staff the notes you play on midikeyboard are inserted. Note! The keys determine the pitch not the length! The length of the notes are set like described in Inserting/Deleting notes.
To terminate this mode switch off the MIDI read button()!
