Hi, as I said it again, setting the default and primary midi device your Windows computer will use for every single midi note that goes out of it has been hidden in Windows 7 and will be probably in Windows 8, 10, 15, 20, 45, 57, 89 by which point mirosoft will probably drop midi all together knowing how incompetent they are in the world of music and music gear. Anyway, the only way to change them or to have changed them was editting a vital piece of data that holds all of your configuration and system information called the registry. A single modification if done impropperly would probably not be a good idea for you and your system, and that is why the process is so tedious to do and is usually not recommended unless you have time to really experiment, restore from back ups, and the like. This program was written by someone who got tired and sick of never getting a propper and an oficial response from Microsoft so he investigated and went to depts to créate the program which will just show all of your installed midi devices (wether they are keyboards, or software synthezisers you have installed, or midi interfaces, it will list everything) and will, at the click of a button, set that as the primary, preferred, default midi device that programs will use, like Windows media player which does not allow you to change which device you would like your midis to play through. That is all it does. Whenever you want to change that default or primary device you simply run and use the program again.
