FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
I have no sound; what could be the
reason?
There are many possible reasons.
First, make sure your PC has a sound card and properly connected speakers.
If this is the case and you still have no sound, check that you are using a
functioning MIDI device. To do that, select "Select/Test Midi Device..." from
the toolbar menu. Then, click the test button for each device in the list until
one of them produces a sound, then click "OK".
If you still have no sound, try downloading a MIDI file and playing it using MS
Media Player. If no sound is produced, there is likely a problem in your MIDI
device or your sound card.
There is a noticeable sound delay; what
could be the reason?
Most likely, you are using an on-motherboard audio controller which does not
have a hardware MIDI synthesizer. Such on-motherboard audio controller usually
uses a software MIDI synthesizer, like "Microsoft GS Wavetable" which is part
of Windows.
A software MIDI synthesizer is good enough for playing back midi files. However,
it has a high latency and might be unsuitable for real-time playing via the
keyboard.
You could install a SoundBlaster type card. Even the very cheapest card will
perform well.
Why are many piano keys played
together when I replay a MIDI file?
The MIDI file you are replaying has multiple channels, each with its musical
notes. The piano keys show all the simultaneously played notes.
To have intelligible piano-key animation,
filter the MIDI file so that fewer channels (preferably, just one) are
animated.
