- First of all, this document may be of help to Creator / Notator users.
- Secondly: these tips are not intended to discriminate in any way the
- C-LAB SOFTWARE, HARDWARE company.
-
- For those of use's who would like to purchase EXPORT for utilizing
- those extra channels which are available under the B/C/D parameters
- and can't afford the over priced hardware read on.
-
- Depending on your usage? in most cases people need extra outs for
- sampler's, well if your lucky enough to have either a AKAI - S900,
- S-950, S-1000, S-1000PB, S-1100, S-1100PB look no further than the
- back of your trusty ST and you shall find an RS232 port which will
- allow you to hook up a RS232 lead from a ST straight into the back
- of one of the above mentioned sampler's.
-
- How do i do it ? :
- ==================
-
- Make sure your ST is turned off, hook up a RS-232 lead from your
- computer to the sampler, make sure both units are turned off.
- Turn both units on after you have connected the lead properly.
-
- Look at the sampler, go to the MIDI function button page thru to
- the control page, set the parameters so the control is by RS-232
- set the BAUD rate at exactly ( 31,250 ) and hey presto! your on
- line with the RS-232 port from your ST.
-
- Now after you turn on your ST and run your version of CREATOR or
- NOTATOR, hopefully not the bugged version (3.0 or 3.1) you can then
- load a song etc, and then choose what port B/C/D you would like to
- send midi data out off.
-
- In my set up i use this function for drum's but the choice is yours.
- Again remember, if your samples a of poor quality, you will also get
- poor timing.
-
- Even though the above sounds logical, most people are receiving 40%
- of the sound quality of there samples when the shouldn't be.
- Use a proper editor to discard any dead air at the start of the
- samples, but whach out in case you kill off some of the attack.
-
- Well that was simple enough wasn't it ?
-
- No need for screw drivers, little black boxes or knowledge in
- electronics, next time we shall discuss what the known bugs are
- in what would have to be the biggest scandal in getting the most
- money out of registered user's of CREATOR / NOTATOR until then
- happy computing!
