getting started 2002-01-19 05:00 am I have recently purchased a Casio wk1300 keyboard and NOTE WORTHY COMPOSER. My aim is to teach myself music, to play the keyboard and to use Noteworthy in conjunction with my keyboard. I am using USB Midisport 1 x 1 interface that is installed correctly.To date I am unable to either send or receive any data from the keyboard. I am 69 years old but fully conversant with PCs and the use of many aspects of Noteworthy. I would be most grateful if some kind person could explain the communication proceedure to get my keyboard fully working, at present, the more i read the more confused I become. Many thanks.

Re: getting started Reply #1 – 2002-01-19 05:00 am Let's start with determining what works, and how you know it works. You say:>using USB Midisport 1 x 1 interface that is installed correctlyWhat did you do to verify that it is installed correctly? This statement seems inconsistent with your next comment:>To date I am unable to either send or receive any >data from the keyboardAfter you have successfully installed the box and the cables, sending and receiving from your MIDI keyboard is a simple process.Sending from NWC to the keyboard: Select the external MIDI device in Tools | Options | Midi | Devices used by play back. When first doing this, make sure that this is the ONLY device that you configure for use by play back.Sending from the keyboard to NWC: Select the external MIDI device in Tools | Options | Record | Input Device. Then, start a new file with File | New, enable MIDI input from Tools | MIDI Input Active, and notes you play on the keyboard will appear in the active staff. Once this works, you might want to try your hand at real-time recording using Tools | Record. Quote Selected
