Testing FreeMIDI and a MIDI interface
The following example uses a Fastlane, but can be used with any midi interface in Freemidi
1. In the FreeMIDI Setup application, go to the MIDI menu and choose “Check Connections.”
2. Your cursor will turn into a little keyboard icon. Place it over the icon representing your MIDI keyboard (and any other output devices).
3. Click the device. If it’s volume is turned up, it should play a chord. You have MIDI output!
4. Now look at the A under the FastLane icon in your studio configuration window. Play a note on your keyboard. The A should change briefly to a tiny eighth note. You have MIDI input!
