Setting MIDI In and OUT in Domino 1.42 Japanese version

This is not a guide to using all features of the Japanese version of Domino 1.42 !  I can only share how I set the MIDI IN and OUT, in order that I can hear a MIDI file playing.

As at time of this writing, my notebook is a Windows 7 x64 Lenovo 4GB RAM, without fancy sound card. I had to install Loopbe1 freeware to get a virtual MIDI input device.  I used Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth as default MIDI output device.

Here is how I found the place to set the MIDI input and output in Domino 1.42 Japanese version.

First, you can simply press F12.  OR you can click on the File item ( top left item which has the " (F) " ) on the top menu bar, and you get this drop down menu.  Select the item with the tool graphic ( the "F12" ).

Either way will open up the following pop-up window:


In the left pane, you will see MIDI-IN and MIDI-OUT listed among other items.  First click on MIDI-IN.  Then, for each of the items in the right pane, you need to click on the option bar (it has a small down arrow graphic).  Select LoopBE Internal MIDI for each of the items (No idea about details; I just want to be sure I get everything played through my computer.)

Next, go back to the left pane and select MIDI-OUT.


Then, go to the right pane and click on each row of the MIDI-OUT column. Each row will open up the options available, like this:


Do not choose the same device as the MIDI-IN ! So, I selected the Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth.  I did this for all the rows because I simply want to ensure all the output gets fed through my computer.

Click the OK button to exit the pop-up window and return to the main workspace of Domino 1.42.
