How to transcribe music in real-time
   
First select the source for the sound by setting up "Wave In" control at the top of main window. By default "Wave Mapper" is selected, for it is used in most cases. Select input device in Windows Volume Control (you can call it by pressing "Windows Mixer" button in the right of "Wave In" selector). For instance, to select microphone as input device call Volume Control, choose "Options"->"Properties" menu item, select "Recording" in "Adjust volume for" section and press OK. Select Microphone in Recording Controls dialog appears.

Make sure that "Wave In" is turned on. When it is not, "Wave In: Stopped" is written in the middle of spectrum window instead spectra. "Start/Stop Wave In" button is in the right of "Wave In" control. When "Wave In" is started every input sound will be recognized.

You can start recording the result of recognition by pressing "Record" button on MIDI sequencer at the bottom of the window. Use "Auto Record" button to start recording automatically as soon as first note is detected.

To play notes detected in real time turn on "MIDI Device" or "PC Speaker" or both at "Play/Keep silence" control in the lower right corner of the main window. Verify "MIDI Out" device if no sound appears. "MIDI Mapper" is selected by default and this fits for most cases. When a note is detected, the corresponding key on the fingerboard under Spectrum Window flashes with red color.

To improve recognition accuracy adjust recognition parameters. You may do this without breaking recognition process, all changes take effect as soon as they are made. However when MIDI recording is turned on some controls are disabled.
