the devices under Sound, video and game controllers). The
BiPort outputs will also show up under Settings | Control
Panel | Multimedia | MIDI, as well as the MIDI Devices &
Instruments list from the Devices tab in Windows98 (the
Advanced tab in Windows95).
Driver Configuration
At any time, you may reconfigure your BiPort 2x4s Windows driver
setup. To do so, from the Windows98 (or Windows95) Start menu, select
Settings | Control Panel | System | Device Manager | Sound, video
and game controllers | Midiman BiPort 2x4s | Midiman Driver Setup.
The “COM Port” listbox allows you to select the COM port that is con-
nected to the BiPort 2x4s unit. For proper operation, this setting must
match the actual COM port that is connected to the BiPort 2x4s.
The “Configure Input Connection” section allows you to operate the
BiPort MIDI inputs in the typical fashion, or merged together into one
stream. As of this writing, most commercially available MIDI programs
will accept the default setup, which makes the BiPort 2x4s look like 3
MIDI input devices: MIDI In-A, MIDI In-B, and SMPTE In (Sync/Status
information). On the other hand, some older commercial and some
shareware MIDI applications can only handle one MIDI stream. In this
case, select “Merge All.”
