TablEdit Users Say:
"I'm a reasonable sight reader of tab, but I often have difficulty with complex timing notation for a piece (or part of a piece) I haven't heard before. By inputting tab (from another source) into TablEdit, just as it's written, and using the midi playback function, I get to hear what the piece should sound like."

| MIDI Out
|
|
|
| The combo box in this dialog allows selection of the driver to be used by TablEdit for MIDI playback.
|
|
|
| Indeed TablEdit does not create the sound, TablEdit sends instructions to your MIDI driver and it creates the sounds you hear.
|
|
|
| Most PCs have more than one MIDI driver installed, so if you do not hear any sound on playback or are unsatisfied with the quality of the sound then test each of the installed MIDI drivers in the pulldown menu of the MIDI Setup dialog box to find which one sounds best to you.
|
|
|
| If you are not satisfied with the results of any of the MIDI drivers that are installed on your computer then there are third party drivers available from companies such as Roland and Yamaha that can be quite effective.
|
|
|
| TablEdit uses the MIDI driver only when it needs it. So it's possible to work with another music program while TablEdit is running.
|
|
|
| Note: If you don't hear anything when you start the playback, it's maybe necessary to reconfigure Windows to be able to play MIDI music. This is what you have to do in Windows XP (the procedure may vary in other Windows versions but will be similar):
|
|
|
 | Click on the Start menu in your task bar and select Settings>Control Panel. Then double-click on the Sounds and Multimedia (the actual title of the applet may vary depending on your Windows version) applet icon.
|
|
|
| This will open the Sounds and Multimedia Properties dialog. Select the Audio tab.
|
|
|
| Click on [Volume] in the Sound playback portion of the dialog in order to display the Volume Control panel.
|
|
|
| If the Mute check box for "Synth SW" is checked, uncheck it.
|
| You can directly jump to step 3 by clicking the "Multimedia Properties..." blue link at the bottom of the dialog.

|
|
| MIDI In
|
|
|
| This drop-down list allows you to select the external MIDI source (MIDI keyboard, MIDI guitar or synthesizer) from which you wish to record.
|
Once you've selected the external source, the  button, which allows MIDI recording to begin, will be displayed in the Tool Bar.
