In this case you can either leave the MME driver type already selected (MME is a stable system and the sound quality is virtually as good as ASIO) or you can download and install the free Asio4All drivers and install them. If there are no ASIO drivers installed on your system BiaB will notify you with a message dialog. Click the dropdown and select ASIO if you wish to change the audio driver type. If MME is the current driver type then you may want to change this, especially if latency is an issue. The current Audio Driver Type is shown in the dropdown at the upper right of this dialog. This will bring up the Audio Settings dialog seen at the right. button near the bottom right of the MIDI/Audio Drivers Setup dialog. To make changes to the default audio I/O you need to click the Audio Settings. However, you may have more than one audio input and output source and you may wish to change which is used. This should usually be sufficient for the average user. This will route any midi produced, or passed through, by BiaB to the selected output.Īs mentioned, the installation program will make intelligent choices with regard to audio setup. If you have a midi output listed and you would like to use it then select that output and don't check the Use VST/DXi Synth checkbox.
If you wish to use an external midi device and you want it to play through a selected midi output check the Route MIDI Thru to MIDI Driver checkbox.Īny other software or hardware synth you may have should also be listed in the MIDI Output Driver box. This will open the VST/DirectX Instruments/Plugins dialog where you can select an installed DXi or VST synth. If you installed the VSC DXi, or another DXi based synth you should check the Use VST/DXi Synth checkbox. Additionally, the VSC DXi is less complicated to use. The reason is that the supplied Roland VSC DXi synth sounds better than the built in synths. Generally, if these are the only synths installed on your system, you will not want to choose either of these. Most systems will have at least the Microsoft MIDI Mapper and the Microsoft GS Wavetable SW Synth. These will be listed in the MIDI Output Driver box near the center. You probably have a number of midi outputs available. If you have an external midi instrument, such as a keyboard, you should see that listed in the MIDI Input driver box to the upper left of the dialog. 3.2 midi driver installed correctly but may be in use by another program - Error message.3.1 Setting ASIO drivers - infinite loop.
