Windows XP and Vista Installation
Since the interface is class-compliant, it will work without the need to install additional drivers. However, using MIDISPORT as a
class-compliant device in Windows XP or Vista will only give you access to basic MIDI input and output features. You must install
the MIDISPORT drivers if you would like to access the more advanced features found within the interface. Installing the drivers
allows you to:
1. Use MIDISPORT with more than one application at the same time (i.e., multi-client
support)
2. Send or receive long SysEx (system exclusive) messages
3. Use multiple MIDISPORT interfaces and identify each interface via a clear device
number and port naming system.
