text: The MIDI mapper in Microsoft Windows allows you to customize Windows to work with your particular MIDI hardware and software. It functions much like the Windows printer and video drivers -- once they are correctly configured, you can use any Windows program with these devices.\n\nI'm sure you already know that Midis are music files. A MIDI file is a data file. It stores information, just like a text (ie, ASCII) file may store the text of a story or newspaper article, but a MIDI file contains musical information. Specifically, a MIDI file stores MIDI data -- the data (ie, commands) that musical instruments transmit between each other to control such things as playing notes and adjusting an instrument's sound in various ways. \n\n\n\nhttp://math.boisestate.edu/GaS/midi/html/midi_mapper.html\n\nsetting it up\nhttp://www.sseyo.com/products/koanpro/html/koan_Setting_Up_the_MIDI_M.htm
