- THIS FILE COVERS CHANGES OR OMMISSIONS OF THE PRINTED MANUAL FOR PRISM.
-
- 1) Loop recording works a little differently than documented in the manual.
- First, you do not need to set the cue point. The loop will always start
- at the beginning of the selected region. Second, the loop will NOT
- extend one measure after punch-out time, as documented in the manual.
- The loop covers only the selected region. After some feedback,
- we decided this was a much simpler way to use loop recording.
-
- 2) When slaving Prism via MIDI sync to a drum machine or sync box, Prism
- will start at the current transport time when a MIDI START is received,
- unless the transport was stopped by a MIDI STOP, in which case a MIDI
- START will start at the beginning of the pattern. A MIDI CONTINUE will
- always continue playing at the current transport time.
-
- 3) To use Prism files with TEXTURE, convert your Prism song files using the
- "PRSMTOTX.EXE" utility included with Prism. If you are using "The Copyist"
- from Dr. T's, you will need to first convert Prism files to TEXTURE format,
- and then use the Copyist's internal conversion program to convert the
- TEXTURE song file to Copyist format.
-
- 4) Texture pattern files created at a timebase other than 96 will not load
- correctly, unless you have already loaded a Texture SONG file with the
- same timebase. Timebases other than 96 are not officially supported.
-
- 5) Prism allows you to use an interupt other than 2 for your MIDI interface.
- For example, some Commodore AT clones have the mouse interupt hardwired
- to 2. You would need to change the MIDI interface to an unused interupt
- (usually 5 for AT's and 3 for PC's), and tell Prism that you are using
- that interupt. To use interupt 5, for example, run Prism by typing:
- Prism -I5
-
- To run Prism with a different interupt, and also specify a file to load,
- type:
- Prism -I5 filename
-
- Not all MIDI interfaces have the capability to select a different interupt.
- Check with that manual for your interface.
