Hi, I am in desperate need of help. So I am trying to connect a MIDI. I go to preferences then click the keyboard icon and the only option on the dropdown is "Dummy (no MIDI support)". To my knowledge apparently there is supposed to be more options there. Please help! Thanks!

What operating system ? If it's Windows you should see WinMM Midi.

Slipstick gave you some good help and advice.
But as musikbear said, you'll need to answer slipstick's question, so we'll know how to help you even further.

Did you somehow, successfully get it to work? If so, please tell us. :geek:
