How do I test a midi card?

I am having a problem with my midi keyboard. I bought a cheap audio
card with Midi (Vibra128) and I can't seem to get it to connect. Is
there a program or testing software that will tell me if the input on
the new audio card is working?

Thanks

That software should come with the "midi" device, like your keyboard.

The challenge is that the software is dated 2000 and Creative must not
have updated the Vibra128 much past that. Right now I need to be able
to test is the INPUT from the midi card is working. Once I can find
that out, I can find out if it is my cable or keyboard, barring that
the midi card works. It really is a difficult thing to do with so
many variables. I downloaded a Midi test file and it plays, so the
drivers look like they are working, but that doesn't mean the physical
card is receiving a signal...that is what I am trying to test.

Then you may wish to try one of the forums relating to MIDI software and
hardware.
