**When you play your MIDI Wind Controller, do you see the keys on the upper keyboard for the Thru part highlighting the notes you are playing?**

If not, then the MIDI input is not getting to the program.

What selections are available to you in the BiaB MIDI/Audio... window (in the Options menu) on the Lefthand side? List all of them you see, please.

Also, the choice or MIDI Output Synth plus use of ASIO sound drivers is likely to be important here, too. One step at a time.

As for being a network engineer, that's a good starting point to come from. But -- Making music with a PC is really a completely different thing altogether. There is a learning curve, but nothing that you should not be able to handle. We all went through that curve at some time or other. And it never ends, as new Operating Systems, new developments, new hardware, new software, the whole nine yards keeps us on our toes. The PC was never designed with what we do in mind. And the market share is so small that we have to be the ones to find out what to do to make it work. This forum is chock full of helpful people who are about sharing that kind of data, so you are in the right place. Don't get discouraged, what you want to do, I do every day. One step at a time will get you there.
