Midisoft Recording Session4 1997 Edition
Install 32-bit version for Windows
This is the procedure I used to install on Windows-XP-Home-SP2
I can Not guarantee you a "good install" only tell you what worked for me.
Proceed at your own risk
I am not responsible for any damage - malfunction of your computer!
Created a Directory/Folder on the Desktop named "Install Session4"
Placed the file "SETUP.EXE" in this folder.
Do Not Run "SETUP.EXE" by Double-Click Nor Start -> Run, at this time, wait.
Because it is a Windows 95 -or- Windows 3.1 Format Version.
The "Program Compatibility Wizard" of Windows XP must be used to Install.
When you come to 'Step 12' an install box dialog select 32-bit.
1. Select "Program Compatibility Wizard" from Start -> All Programs -> Accessories
2. Next
3. Manually Select - Next
4. "SETUP.EXE" - via Browse to its folder -Next
5. If using Folder on DeskTop - Next

17. I use Extended on My SP2
If you Do Not "hear drums" perhaps try different, mine defaulted to Extended.
- Base-level (MIDI Channels 13 to 16, drums on channel 16)
- Extended-level (MIDI Channels 1 to 10, drums on channel 10)
- General MIDI (MIDI Channels 1 to 16, drums on channel 10)
Many people prefer General MIDI.
If you do hear drums (yes), select Next, you can reset when running Session4.
