  2. Double click IAC Driver to open device properties
  3. Ensure that Device is online is checked

Configure your MIDI software

You must have an application capable of reading MIDI signals to use WiiToMidi. If you haven't got anything suitable, download the demo of Ableton Live from www.ableton.com.

In the application's preferences you need to tell it to accept MIDI input from the IAC Device. Check your software's documentation to learn how to do this. (In Ableton Live you have to go to Preferences/MIDI-Sync, and enable IAC Driver (Bus 1) for Track and/or Remote inputs.
