Anyone use this? I've spent the last 3 hours pissing about
with this, trying to get it to output correctly to a MIDI
keyboard...pfffffffffff

click here

Are there easier/better products available?

You want it to send note info so a keybord will make the
sound or vice versa?

I've dabbled with sibelius 1, but it's a bit overwhelming
for me...

Well the idea from what I can gather is that when you play
the notes in through the keyboard, you should be able to
hear them through the PC speakers, and when you click
'Playback' you should also hear it.

The software is a minefield of settings....I just installed
the software onto the network in work, and told the guys who
it was for....they'd have to play around with the config. as
it was above my head.

It's not as bad as Finale.

Ah right- just it is possible to do the opposite- enter
notes on the pc and have it played back via the keyboard
speakers :)

I've not actually managed to get software to see that midi
keyboard you lent me, despite my phat boy and kaoss pad
sending midi fine. Only thing I can think of is to make sure
the cable is "midi in" going into the "midi out" port of the
keyboard (standard convention, but often overlooked) and
"midi out" lead the other end going into "midi in" on the
pc. Make sure the keyboard is set to the same midi channel
1-16 as the software is listening on.

I know another few sites that use the software...so I can
ask around there, but other than that, I think we'll buy
someone in to configure the computers properly......even
though that will cost $$$$

well, you know I'll be unemployed in a month or so if any of
the sites need a "PC music technician" ;)

I use sibelius 2 at school, and 1.4 at home.

you have to make sure you've selected the right device to
get it to record the midi inputs. Also, have u made sure the
MIDI leads are in the right sockets - so many people at
school get that wrong :S
