Summary
The MIDI output device is the device used to generate sound from the raw MIDI data generated by Power Tab Editor during playback.
More Information
To change the MIDI output device Power Tab Editor uses for playback, proceed as follows:
- On the MIDI menu, click Setup and then click the Output tab.
- Click the arrow at the end of the Device box to display the pull-down menu listing of all available MIDI output devices on your system. Click a device that's different than the one you're currently using.
- Click OK.
- Test playback. Be sure to test the playback at least a half dozen times for each output device, as there is a bug that can lead to a periodic loss of sound.
Note: When selecting a device, make sure the Technology box does not say MIDI Hardware Port. If you select this type of device, you need to have an external synthesizer hooked up to your computer in order to hear sound.
