You can put the Zip files into a directory named airdrums. Run SETUP from Windows program or file manager. The setup program will only update with the latest files, also no INI, config.sys, autoexec.bat or any system files are changed. When you first run Airdrums, The Midi In Out screen allows you to choose the Midi In Out device. For first time users just select OK. When the drum set appears, click on any drum with your mouse. If you hear a drum sound, then the settings are correct. If you do not hear any sound, choose the Midi In Out selection from the menu and change the Midi In device, select OK and click on a drum. If still no sound, click the right mouse button on a drum and try a different octave. The combinations of these settings should enable drum sounds. Remember, Airdrums will play any MIDI sound and any external device, just experiment with it and make some noise.
