USB MIDI Cable - Installing USB MIDI Cable
IMPORTANT!
    You must run the driver installation FIRST, BEFORE actually plugging in 
    the USB MIDI cable. You should NOT plug in the cable until asked to do so 
    during the driver installation. 
 
                                 *****

1.  Insert the CD in your CD-ROM drive and after Windows detects the CD, 
    a splash screen will appear. If the CD is not automatically detected, 
    you can manually start the installation screen by selecting Start > Run 
    from Windows. When the Run dialog box appears, enter the letter name of 
    the CD-ROM drive followed by \setup. For example, if your CD-ROM drive 
    letter is d: type d:\setup

2.  Click on "Setup USB Music Studio Kit" and then "Install Turtle Beach USB
    MIDI Cable 1x1" to begin the installation and follow the on screen
    instructions.

    IMPORTANT! You may see a message explaining that the software has not 
               passed Windows Logo testing or does not have a Digital 
               Signature.  This means that we have not had Microsoft test 
               our current driver version and certify it as Windows Logo
               compliant. However, the driver and software have undergone
               extensive testing under all supported operating systems so 
               you can safely proceed by clicking "Continue Anyway" or "Yes"
               (depending on the operating system). This will NOT make your 
               system unstable. 

                
 
3.  When you are prompted by the installation to plug in your USB MIDI Device,
    you should insert the square USB connector into any available USB port on
    your computer.  
          Windows 98 users: You may be required to install additional 
                            files from your Windows 98 CD. 

4.  Once the device is detected, the Turtle Beach logo in the system tray 
    will change to two green lights that show MIDI data going through your 
    USB MIDI Cable.  If for some reason the device is not detected, make sure
    that the cable is firmly plugged in and run the SoundCheck diagnostic 
    application when prompted.

5.  Now connect the MIDI connectors to your keyboard (or other controller) 
    as follows:

    

    If you are using a MIDI keyboard, the MIDI In cable should be connected 
    to the MIDI Out on the keyboard and the MIDI Out cable to the MIDI In on
    the keyboard. If you are using a device that is only a controller (i.e. 
    doesn't make any sounds itself), you will connect only the MIDI In cable
    to the MIDI Out on the controller.  The MIDI Out cable will not be 
    attached to anything. 

6.  To test your USB MIDI cable, click on the USB MIDI status icon and select
    "SoundCheck." 
    NOTE: Except when specifically prompted by SoundCheck, it is highly
          recommended that you do not remove or insert the MIDI cable while 
          SoundCheck or other MIDI software (such as Record Producer MIDI 
          Edition) is running.
