MIDI

If you plan on connecting a MIDI device to your computer for use with OpenMPT, you need to make sure that it is correctly set up in this screen. You can set whether or not OpenMPT records Note Offs when you release a key on your device, for example.

TODO: Describe the dialog.

The basic steps:

Step 1: Install/Connect your Midi-device (controller, keyboard, whatever) to your PC (It doesn't matter if you use Midi-In or USB)

Step 2: Start OMPT and load/create a song

Step 3: Go to View>Setup>Midi and choose either "midi-port" or "usb audio interface" (according to where you plugged your stuff)

Step 4: Enable the "Midi Record" button

Step 5: Go to the "Pattern" tab, choose an instrument and write/play (record on/record off) your notes with the midi device.
