    People,

    I am using a Roland JV-1010 Sound Module to produce MIDI music. It originally received MIDI Input from my old Music Production software (Cakewalk PA9) via my PC’s Serial Port.

    I am now running Windows XP (& SONAR 2.2) with a LynxTWO Audio Interface (Sound Card.) Roland does not make an XP Driver for the JV-1010. LynxTWO has no MIDI Ports (meaning the use of MIDI Cables is out) . . .

    . . . here’s the stupid question:

    How can I now assign my Serial Port as my default MIDI Port, in order to transmit MIDI tracks from SONAR to the Sound Module?

    Does XP have default Serial Port drivers which will accomplish this task?

    Is the Serial Port the same as COM 1 in Device Manager?

    Need help. Thanks,

    mark4man

      Serial port can be COM 1 through 4. The same as in Device Manager.

        Bob,

        Don’t quite know what it is, but apparently I’m not thinking too well this weekend.

        I went back & grabbed the JV-1010’s CD-ROM; & thought I’d try installing the most recent available MIDI driver (which was an NT version.) I then went to Sounds & Audio Devices Properties; & found the option “Serial MIDI Out A Port” (I now had 2 devices available . . . that one; & the LynxTWO.) I Assigned the Serial Port driver as my default MIDI device . . . opened SONAR; & there it was . . . recognized by every MIDI track. Everything now appears to be working just fine.

        Live & learn.

        Thanks for the response,
