Hi everyone. I'm new to all of this, so forgive me if this is a stupid question.

I have a midi keyboard hooked up to my computer and can use it for speedy entry, but I cannot hear the notes that are being played. Playback works fine. No problems at all. But the keyboard makes no sound.

Is there something that I need to do?

My computer does not have a sound card, is that part of the issue?

Thanks.

Dan! See what I wrote to another person under No MIDI Keyboard Sound. You might need to do the same.

Thanks for the input. I do not see that option.

I am running Finale 2007 on a mac. I don't know if that makes a difference or not. But I cannot find it.

Dan, one of the most common reasons for this is you might have MIDI Thru switched off. I don't see which version you're using but look in MIDI/Audio and if you don't see MIDI Thru in the menu, look in Device Setup. MIDI Thru should be set to Smart or Direct.

You might find some suggestions to try in the Finale Knowledge Base
