while moving the mouse to the left or right. The simulation of a modulation wheel
works in a similar manner, only that the mouse is moved forwards or backwards
while holding the mouse button. The following illustration shows the key

sounds. To do so, click the MIDI menu. This opens the Ed!son MIDI Settings
dialog in which you can select the MIDI port to which the keyboard is connected.

Use the IN field under DEVICE to select the port to which your MIDI keyboard
is connected. Once your keyboard is connected to the WAMI BOX, select the
driver WAMI BOX MIDI Record or WAMI BOX Midi-2. Select the required
