General Discussion / Re: Where is "In Port" on Options/Record tab?
Bart, my computer is quite old -- 10 years now -- and the only devices it shows are mouse and printer.  And the Input Device option in the Record tab is blank, so there's nothing set up.  I downloaded the MidiOx program, but it doesn't show up either.   Perhaps my computer is just too old!  I'll try a MIDI/USB cable next, and see if it'll go direct.  Thanks for your time!

Thanks for your answer, Rick.  I guess the problem is that the field is blank.  I typed in the device I want to use, a Scarlett Focusrite audio interface, but NWC doesn't want to recognize it.  Can you suggest other possible input devices?  Software?  Kind of stumped here.
Thanks for your time!

Ah, that makes sense!  My keyboard does have the two 5-prong plugs where it says Midi In and Midi Out.  Thank you, Bart!  Good thing I bought the Scarlett for something else...

Do you know then what I would choose as the Input Device in the Record tab if I choose the Midi-to-USB connector?

This is really helpful -- thanks!

Thank you for your thoughtful reply, Bart!  I hadn't thought of connecting my keyboard directly to the computer -- since NWC requires a sound card, I thought I needed something between the keyboard and computer, but I imagine the computer has a sound card.  Dar.  Thanks for the suggestion!
The guys at the music store told me that the Scarlett would function as a sound card -- a USB interface -- but maybe it IS just an audio device.  I'll try hooking it up directly.  Thanks again for your time!

Hi, Bart,
No apology needed -- I appreciate your time and effort, and the software suggestion.  I'll try to find it.
I can get the Scarlett to work with Audacity, just not with NWC, so it sounds like it's a failure of NWC to recognize other input devices in addition to the computer's program...
Thanks for your suggestions -- I'll keep trying!  Best of luck to you.

Thank you both!  Bart, I found the keyboard icon, and clicking for Midi Input Active brings the message that the device fails to open, so I should go to the Recording Tab.
And William, I see "Echo Input to Play Device" on the Recording tab, but there isn't an option to choose the Focusrite -- only my computer's play device.  I added the Focusrite in the Control Panel Sounds tab, but it still doesn't show up as an option.  Ack.  Any more suggestions?
Thanks again, guys, for your time!

Hi.  I'm a new NWC user, trying to get my Midi keyboard to work with NWC.  I know NWC recognizes my sound device (Scarlett Focusrite USB) because I keep getting alerts that it failed in the In Port.  The FAQs mention that I should choose an In Port under Options on the Record Tab, but there is no option to choose an In or Out port on the Record tab.  Screen shot attached.  Any suggestions?  I sure would appreciate the help.
Thank you!
