I have a Windows XP laptop with BB installed and working well. One of my band members has a piano with USB midi input. I haven't seen that kind of midi input before. Can I set up the midi output of BB to go USB to USB? What driver supports this? My soundcard is the standard HP laptop internal sound card.

Hi Bob,

There are two kinds of USB MIDI.

The first is called "Class Compliant" and means that all one need do is plug the USB piano into a USB port for it to be recognized by XP. Just be sure that BIAB is completely shut down *before* plugging in, then let the OS recognize the device and then open BB and look in the Opts -> MIDI/Audio window for "USB Audio" device to be added to the input and output lists where you can choose by highlighting one or both.

The second kind of USB MIDI driver requires the installation of drivers from the keyboard's mfr. Check the manual for the specific keyboard to see which kind you have there and govern your actions accordingly. This is not rocket science, should be able to get it up and running without too much hassle.

Thank you Mac. I think I saw something in the piano manual about a driver download. Otherwise, sounds easy.
