MAN 2x4 driver and could cause your computer to lock when running a
MIDI sequencing program. To alleviate this problem, edit the SYSTEM.INI
file in your Windows directory (This is done either with the DOS editor,
Windows Notepad application, or the SYSEDIT program in Windows 95).
After you have opened SYSTEM.INI, place a semicolon (;) in front of the
line in the [386Enh] section that reads “device=*vpd”, save the file, and
restart Windows.
Updating the Windows Driver
If you already have a copy of the PORTMAN Windows driver installed on
your system and wish to update it with a newer version, you will need to
remove the current (older) driver and re-install the newer PORTMAN dri-
ver. Follow these steps to remove the current driver from your system:
1. Start Windows as you usually do.
2. Open the Windows Control Panel application from My Computer or
Settings in the Start Menu (in your Main program group in Win 3.1).
3. Double click Multimedia. In Windows 98 click Devices, In 95 click
Advanced. In Windows 3.1, start the Drivers applet.
4. Check for a “MIDIMAN PORTMAN 2x4” entry in the Installed Drivers
list. If none exists, you know the driver is not installed - discontinue
this procedure and follow the FIRST-TIME WINDOWS DRIVER
INSTALLATION procedure instead. If the entry exists, then highlight it
(click Properties in 98 & 95) and select [Remove].
5. In order for Windows to install the new driver, you will be required to
exit and restart Windows.
6. After exiting and restarting Windows, follow the FIRST-TIME WIN-
DOWS DRIVER INSTALLATION procedure to install the updated
PORTMAN driver.
MIDI Application Set-Up Examples
Cakewalk for Windows (Version 2.0 & Later)
Once the PORTMAN Windows driver is installed, Cakewalk for Windows
has to be set up to take advantage of the PORTMAN MIDI interface. Under
the Settings Menu in Cakewalk, select MIDI Devices. A “MIDIMAN PORT-
MAN 2x4” entry should be available under both Input Devices and Output
Devices. Select (highlight) PORTMAN under Input and Output. For
Output, you may also want to press the [move selected devices to top] but-
ton. Then press the [OK] button.
