stupid question

I'm totally new at midi. When I play something using clarinet, it should transpose the music. Does a midi clarinet automatically transpose, or is the music "written for clarinet" pre-transposed.
Second, is there any way to get the instruments to sound more like what they are supposed to sound like? The midi clarinet sounds like a computer playing music, and sounds the same as brass section and the same as piano.

In general, your sound card will usually play every patch in Concert C (A440) tuning, unless you set it to comething else. In NWC, this is done in the Staff Properties (F2).

It is not always possible to get that "perfect sound" using computer soundcards. However, if you are currently using a soundcard that uses FM synthesis, then dramatic improvements can usually be achieved by moving up to a soundcard that supports better patch reproduction (such as one that uses WaveTable synthesis).
