Installing the Miditzer™ Virtual Organ

Now that you have downloaded MiditzerInstall0-60.exe to your Windows PC, run the installer.  You should see the Welcome Screen: 

Follow the on-screen instruction to install the Miditzer virtual organ. You should see the following screen when the Miditzer has been installed.

Press "Finish" leaving the boxed checked to run Miditzer.  If you are running the Miditzer for the first time, you will see two warnings to let you know that you don't have any settings yet.  This is normal. 

You may see a screen to warn you if you don't have any MIDI input devices and letting you know that you can use your computer mouse and/or computer keyboard instead. 

The main screen should then be displayed:

 

Congratulations.  You have just installed Miditzer and you are now at the base camp configuration.  It may not be apparent but almost all of the power of the Miditzer is now available to you using just your mouse or computer keyboard.  Think of this page as the excursion desk where you will find guides to exploring the Miditzer starting from the base camp configuration. 

Experience has shown that almost all the problems you might encounter with the Miditzer come from trying to go further and faster than you are prepared for.  You can build a full theatre organ console that is a surprisingly good replica of a real Wurlitzer Style 216, but do not try that as your first Miditzer project! 

If you find yourself lost and confused, return to the base camp configuration, verify that everything is working correctly, and then retrace your steps carefully, and checking your progress every step of the way.  Usually this will show you where the problem is.  If you need help, go to the Miditzer Forum and post a message explaining where you are stuck.  Having a carefully documented path starting from base camp will help others find you and help you on your way.
