When I record something I'm playing on my keyboard (MIDI -> USB connection), only the first note is recorded. This note sustains until it's gone, and then the note which I was playing at the time (so not the second note, but whatever note I'm playing when the sustain ends)is recorded and sustains until gone. I've tried my best googling the answer but can't seem to find it. I hope you can help. Regards, Hi,

Instead, you record messages that say which notes should be played. If you actually want to hear sound, then you should send the recorded MIDI to a device that can turn MIDI messages into sound. For example, you can send the MIDI back to your Roland R8 and it will play the sounds you recorded. If you want to record the actual sound into the computer, then you'll have to hook up the R8's audio outputs to the computer. There are some other articles on this site that tell you how to do that. You cannot use MIDI for that. When you record MIDI, you don’t actually record sound. Instead, you record messages that say which notes should be played.

Please help so that my $10.42 were not for nothing.

I think that's something wrong with either the cable or the keyboard, but I'm not sure. The weird thing with the cable is that it has two gameport outputs, one male and one female, but only the male one fits in the slot, there is no slot for the female output... Thanks for helping It says ‘MPU 401′… I think that’s something wrong with either the cable or the keyboard, but I’m not sure.

If not, you may have to install a driver for the MIDI on your soundcard. Does Red Dot Forever show anything in the MIDI Input box on the Options screen?

That appears to be a common thing, by the way. It looks like your keyboard does not send its built-in files out over MIDI when you play them back. That appears to be a common thing, by the way.

If that doesn't work either, then it's either a problem with the hardware or with the software drivers. Also make sure your cables are plugged in the right way (MIDI IN to MIDI OUT, MIDI OUT to MIDI IN). :-) http://www.anvilstudio.com/ Try recording with another MIDI program such as Anvil Studio and see if that works.

Do you think the problem is with Red Dot or the hardware? Thanks. Hi,
