How Can I Get My Midi Keyboard Connected To My Fruity Loops Studio 4 On...

Question relating to...

Midi Keyboard

Asked by: YettaBrown

I have FL4, and I was wondering if there was any way I could play the notes on my MIDI keyboard (equipped of course with input and output ports) and have them transferred to Fruity Loops, in order to stretch them or rearrange?

I have a cord already but no port on my laptop, and so I got this other cord to connect the keyboard from its headphone jack to the laptop's microphone jack, allowing me to record the notes into my Cool Edit Pro recording software. That's cool, but I can't manipulate the notes and I can't even hear what I'm playing as I'm playing it, because the keyboard, with its headphone jack occupied, is muted.

What can I do to get my music in my editing software?

See if you can go through the USB port. You might need a USB to MIDI adapter.
