Re: Help with midi set-up Posted by lenny (from: 199.43.48.22) on December 29, 1999 at 09:46:54: In Reply to: Help with midi set-up posted by Mark on December 28, 1999 at 19:59:41: : I have a soundblaster live and am using its midi port with a split midi in/out adapter. I am running Win98 as my OS. I am trying to get my Ensoniq SD-1 to communicate with Cakewalk 8 but am unable to make the connection no matter what I try. Can anyone give me some hints about the general set up between a midi synth, a SB Live and Win98 (For the moment I am assuming that the physical set up i.e cables etc are ok)? I am at my wits end! : Thanks : Mark Hi! Before you do anything try this: 1. Check SBlive mixer setup. It can be reached from Creative Launcher (move cursor to the top of the screen). Make sure that SBLive! mixer settings say: 'Composing desktop music' and 'MIDI sequencing'. 2. In Cakewalk go to options or preferences (I am not sure) find MIDI devices and make sure that SBlive MIDI in (on the left) and A:MIDI Synth OUT are hilighted and are on the top of all devices. I don't have cakewalk in front of me so please forgive my spelling. 3. Make sure that your track in Cakewalk is 'armed' and set to MIDI (left click on it and check properties). 4. let me know if it still doesn't work. Lenny. Vote!
