Midi keyboard sound playback

• Nov 18, 2017 - 01:54

Hi, i just conected my midi keyboard to use it with musescore and found that it always uses the sound of the first instrument in the mixer. I just added a piano as the first instrument on the score and marked it as hidden to get piano playback from the midi keyboad. Is there any way to set it up so that it always uses the piano sound for playback on all scores without having to add the extra piano?

Thanks!

It should use the sound of the actual instrument you are inputting notes for. So if you are inputting notes onto the flute staff, it uses a flute sound, but if you are inputting onto a violin staff, it uses a violin sound, etc. Are you saying you are inputting notes for say flute but for some reason you want it to sound like piano? Not quite understanding why you'd want that, but if you do, you could change the sound of the flute staff to piano in the Mixer.

Hi, i play with the midi keyboard to try things before writing them when not inputing notes. Before i used to have a piano standalone program to play, but since in musescore you can leave note input mode and the midi keyboard still produces sound i dont have to use a separare program for that. The hidden piano as first instrument in the mixer is working for me right now but i dont know if theres an easier way.
