Okay people I'm sure it's just me being stupid, but I need
some help with MIDI. I just don't get it, it doesn't help
that no-one has shown me, I have a MIDI keyboard, MIDI
cables and FruityLoops3, now what?

Do you have a MIDI-interface and a (good) soundcard? I have
not used FL3, so i don't know how things work with it
exactly. You should find some FAQs through some
search-engineering, i'm sure. Just bust your head with it,
eventually you'll get it right.

First, I don't know fruityloops, but that shouldn't matter.
Unless, floops doesn't support MIDI. This info isn't
software specific.

Remember, MIDI does NOT carry any audio signals. It's just a
remote control protocol. You play your keyboard, floops or
whatever softsynth, makes the sound and it comes out of your
soundcard.

One set of MIDI in/out ports support 16 channels. You have
to select a channel on your keyboard and one in the
software. It has to be the same channel. Then you can play
the instrument on that channel. Most multitrack software
automatically change the channel as you click/select
tracks.

Remember, when you save a MIDI-file, it only contains MIDI
information. No audiofile edits or anything like that. Well,
the small filesize should indicate that anyway. Any samples
or audiorecordings, you'll have to save too.

Most software save things as projects or whatever, where
both MIDI and audio belonging to a project is saved
together.

MIDI?
