Software Installation
Before installing your WSM software, you need to make sure that the external MIDI port on your Sound Blaster 16 card is enabled. To do so, click on the Start button and go to Settings
As shown in the illustration on the left, when the “Multimedia Properties” dialog opens, click on the “Advanced” tab. Open the “MIDI Devices and Instruments” folder and select “MIDI for External MIDI Port.”
Click on “Properties” and the “MIDI For External MIDI Port Properties” dialog appears, as shown in the illustration on the right. Click on the “Use MIDI features on this device” button if it is not already selected and make sure that the Status is “Driver is enabled and active.” If it is not, WSM will not operate correctly. Consult your Windows 95 and/or Sound Blaster 16 user manuals for information on how to solve conflicts that prevent the driver from being enabled.
