Once you have loaded a keyboard layout, you need to return to the mixer 
screen to actually "play" a midi file.  The currently available version of 
SoftSamp does not play in real time.  It uses CSound to generate a sound 
file from a Midi file.

The new version of SoftSamp will play in real-time.  I hope to release the 
new version very soon.  I just haven't had time to finish it yet...if there 
were only three of me!  Of course, some would consider that a problem..:}

This program is baffling me for three days.  What are the exact steps
for using this program.  I hit the instr button, load a wav file, set
the range on the keyboard press ok, and it does nothing.  I tried the
"parameters" menu, but it doesn't respond.  Is there a manual or
document for this program.  Or can anyone walk me through a setup.

Thanks
