All of the views for various functions are simple and laid out in a sensible manner so the learning curve is easy. Nobody is bothering with writing a driver for this dinosaur software anyhow and that's a shame because I find it to be so easy to use and I can write some awesome drums with it. I don't get it, I haven't had to use a driver thus far, only had to select a default midi port as the software has simply worked with whatever default port that was available. I have tried LoopB1 and one other midi driver type install but it didn't recognize it. I think the company that originally produced the software has been out of business for quite some time so there is definitely not a 64 bit driver for it. I heard somebody got it to work with Vista but I completely passed on that OS. I haven't had much of a problem continuing to use it through the years and various OS's although in XP I ran it in Windows 95 compatibility mode. The original release was written for Windows 3.1, version 4 was a 32 bit release that came out around the time of Windows 95. Any help is appreciated, I enjoy working with technology but these days it's more about getting something out of it rather than be tied up trying to get it to work. So is there something I can still do here to get Midisoft up and running? I would be open to an alternative that I'm not aware of yet that will give me a score view, an event list view, and a channel mixer with the basics of panning, mute, solo, and record? I haven't seen it yet but maybe someone here has. I have tried everything I can think of and everything I have found online including registry changes and have even trialed out a good number of alternative sequencing software titles but there is nothing like the simplicity of Midisoft on the market today. No such luck in 7 as MS seems to have done away with this feature in its sound settings control window. In XP I was able to select the default midi port and that solved that.

From there I cannot select the output ports and it won't even let me play a file because of the driver issue. There seems to be a driver lacking and when I choose to turn midimapper off it tells me that I need to install a driver in control panel.

So now I have a clean install of 7 and have reinstalled all of my recording software and everything is working fine, accept Midisoft. I had trial run it in dual boot with XP to make sure that all of my recording tools worked and I remember that there was no issues at that time. Recently I decided it was time to upgrade from XP to Windows 7. This is my first post here so hello to all.
