Sensation!
(250-1650)                 Windows 95 and MIDI        Faxback Doc. # 17563

After installing Windows 95 or any cd-rom program (i.e. Bookshelf, 
Groliers) on the Sensation all the midi sounds suddenly won't play.  The 
reason is the Tandy Wave/Midi Synthesizer driver has been reset to the Base
Level Synthesizer mode.  Some programs that use midi sounds will reset the
driver back to default setting of Base Level Synthesizer when they are
installed.  In Windows 95 if a program uses midi sounds it will behave as 
if the program was playing the sound but there is no output.  The following
procedure will correct the problem:

1.  Go to My Computer.

2.  Then the Control Panel.

3.  Open Multimedia.

4.  Next switch to the Advanced page.

5.  Then double click on Midi Devices and Instruments. It should then 
    extend and show these sub headings: (amoung others) 
       Tandy Midi Synthesizer 
       Tandy MMA Midi Port

6.  If there is not an option for Tandy Midi Synthesizer refer to document
    #17296 for instructions on installing  the Tandy Wave/Midi Synthesizer
    driver.

7.  Double click on Tandy Midi Synthesizer.

8.  Next click on the Settings button.

9.  Set the Midi Driver mode to either Extended Level Synthesizer or 
    General Midi Synthesizer.

This should solve the problem of not hearing midi sounds.
