How do I casually enter notes from my MIDI keyboard (step time)?

1. Tools: Options, Record tab
   
2. If not set, select the Input Device Driver for your system
   
3. MIDI tab - set MIDI Port Usage to While Active or Always
   
4. Tools: MIDI Input Active
   

The MIDI keyboard will enter the pitch, durations can be set with the computer keyboard quick keys.
