How do I record MIDI directly into my sequencer software using my voice or acoustic musical instrument?
First, you need to install a MIDI loop back program on your computer. If your computer is running Windows Me/98/95, use Hubi's MIDI Loopback Device, which is included with intelliScore. If your computer is running Windows Vista/XP/2000/NT, we recommend you use MIDI Yoke, which as of this writing can be downloaded for free from www.midiox.com. In intelliScore's Options window, select one of the loopback devices as the MIDI Device. Within your sequencer, select the matching loopback device as the MIDI input device.
When you are ready to perform, start your sequencer. Within intelliScore's New Project Wizard, select the fourth option at the Audio Source step - Live Performance Mode. Provide information as requested in the remaining wizard steps. Upon completion of the wizard, the Live Performance Control Panel will display, at which time intelliScore will generate live MIDI according to your singing or playing. You can now start the recording mode in your sequencer, and your live MIDI is being recorded.
To record MIDI directly into Anvil Studio, perform the following procedure:
1. Under the View | Synthesizers menu item, set MIDI In Port to your loopback device, either MIDI Yoke or Hubi.
2. Set MIDI Out to your sound card synthesizer if you want to hear the MIDI notes as you are recording.
3. Select the View | Composer menu item to see the musical staff.
4. Make sure Insert Mode is NOT checked.
5. Adjust Tempo to desired speed.
6. Click the Metronome button to start the metronome.
7. Click the REC button to begin recording.
