Under Windows, problems may occur if multiple programs attempt to use the same USB MIDI driver for input at the same time. Especially prone to this issue are “cheap” drivers that often accompany inexpensive MIDI hardware. If you wonder why Synfire is unable to receive MIDI input from your hardware keyboard, there is probably another program already using and blocking the USB driver.
Build chord progressions from pressing keys on your keyboard. Synfire estimates the most likely chord in a sequence of chords.
Unlike the recording of static MIDI in a DAW, recording with Synfire involves the conversion of static MIDI input into a dynamic Figure. This procedure requires user interaction, as outlined here.
Learn how to use Live Chord Detection to build chord progressions from pressing keys on your keyboard. Synfire uses your input to estimate the most likely chord in a sequence of multiple chords. An example progression is built in the video, that uses a chromatically descending bass movement, leading to "out of key" chords that still form a musically sensible progression.
