Make sure the MIDI files for the hardware device&#8217;s OS upgrade are unzipped. Typically, you can double-click the .zip file and Winzip will come up. Extract them to a folder you can find easily- for example- C:\\MIDI.<\/p>\n<p>2. Make sure there is a cable plugged into the MIDI interface&#8217;s output port to the hardware device&#8217;s in port.<\/p>\n<p>3. Go to Start &#8211; Settings &#8211; Control Panel &#8211; Multimedia &#8211; MIDI.<\/p>\n<p>4. Change the preferred MIDI playback device to the MIDI port that corresponds to the port you chose in step #3. Click OK to get out of the control panel.<\/p>\n<p>5. Depending on what version of Windows Media Player you have installed, you may or may not have playlist capability. Windows Media Player 7 and above have playlist capability, which means you can load all of the MIDI files in and it will play them in sequence.<\/p>\n<p>6. Launch Media Player by going to Start &#8211; Programs &#8211; Accessories &#8211; Entertainment &#8211; Windows Media Player.<\/p>\n<p>7. Go to My Computer &#8211; C drive and find the folder you unzipped the MIDI files to and open it. Highlight all files with CTRL-A and drag and drop the first file (all other files will come with it) into the playlist of Media Player.<\/p>\n<p>If your Windows Media Player does not have playlist computability, simply double-click each file in sequence.<\/p>\n<p>8. Prepare your hardware device to receive midi, and click Play on Media Player.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[],"tags":[],"storecat":[],"itemids":[],"manufacturers":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Check out the How do I update my hardware device&#039;s OS with MIDI and Windows Media Player with Windows 98? page at Sweetwater \u2014 the world&#039;s leading music technology and instrument retailer!\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sweetwater.com\/sweetcare\/articles\/update-hardware-device-os-midi-windows-media-player-windows-3\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"How do I update my hardware device&#039;s OS with MIDI and Windows Media Player with Windows 98? - SweetCare\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"1.
