I have absolutely no experience with Midi and have some very basic questions about setting up Midi on my computer. Recently I discovered a program called Vsampler. This seems like a pretty cool program, maybe just what I need to add orchestration to my audio recordings. Ok, I have some questions about setting it up (sorry if they are stupid, but I am thoroughly confused).
I have a Yamaha DX21 synth, can I use it to play Vsampler through my recording software? What kind of connecter do I need to hook up my DX21 to my computer? My DX21 has Midi connectors on it, but there are no Midi connections on my soundcard. I am using a Delta-44. I think I read that some use the USB Midi-Sport as a means to connect keys to a computer, will that work, or do I need a different kind of connector? I am using n-Track as my recording software. n-Track is supposed to support vsti, but every time I try to run Vsampler in n-Track both programs freeze. Do I need to buy different recording software to record Midi?
What about file types? If I were to use Vsampler as a standalone, could the saved Midi files be loaded into n-track? Is there some kind of software that converts Midi files to Wav?
Thanks in advance.
