To play Sequel’s hundreds of instruments, you need a MIDI keyboard as well as an audio card or interface with a MIDI connection. Your music store will have a huge range of MIDI keyboards, all the way from compact two-octave models to huge 88-key keyboards with weighted keys. The MIDI keyboard is connected to a MIDI socket on the audio interface; most audio interfaces have a MIDI socket to connect to keyboards. Using a standard MIDI cable, connect the MIDI Out on the keyboard with the MIDI In on the audio interface. Now you’re ready to play all the on-board instruments in Sequel!
Many newer MIDI keyboards also have a USB connector. This is even easier to set up, as the keyboard is simply plugged into a free USB port on your computer, so you don’t even have to use a MIDI cable.
