How to play back midi via ASIO soundcard?

[Bas van Dijk]

Hi guys/girls,

I have a phase 26 USB from Terratec (yes, still with the noise, waiting for a reply from their support). But I have a question.
When I used to record on my sound blaster, I could record analogue audio while listening to already existing midi tracks. Now I'm using the terratec via ASIO which is great for latency, but I can't play the midi, unless I switch to normal mode. Windows does not see the soundcard (I assume it does not know ASIO?).

Is there a trick to make this happen? Of course I could first make the midi track into Audio with VST, but this is cumbersome when I'm still editing.

Thanks again for the advice,
Bas

hmm i was going to offer most common issue that is that most soundcards don't have built in synths like the sound blasters do, and that you usually have to use a softsynth. But if your card does work in MME mode, well i'm jiggered then.... maybe using a softsynth would still solve your problem.
