There are three parts to this process:   

1.  First, we will install the Windows driver. 
2.  Second, we will tell Windows which interrupt and address settings you have chosen. 
3.  Third, we will select the new MIDI card as the primary Windows MIDI device. 

 

Installing the Windows Driver

1)  From the Start Menu, select Settings and open the 

Control Panel. 

2)  In the Control Panel, double-click on Add New 

Hardware. 

3)  To begin installing your hardware, click Next. 
4)  Since you do not want Windows to search for your 

hardware, click No, followed by Next. 

5)  For hardware type, scroll down through the list and 

select Sound, video and game controllers. 

6)  For Manufacturer on the left, choose Microsoft.  

For Models on the right, choose MPU-401 
Compatible.  Click Next. 

7)  Windows will indicate the default interrupt and 

address settings for the card.  If the card you 
installed is not at these default settings, you will 
need to change them in Windows.  Finish the 
steps below and then go to the “Setting the 
Interrupt and Address in Windows” section. 

8)  You may need to insert a Windows disk at this 

point.  Afterwards, click Finish to end the 
installation. 

9)  At this point you will be asked to shut down the 

computer.  After doing so, restart it.
