What's in the Demo?
This Demo version of ReCycle 1.7 is identical to the full version except for the following points:
•	You can only work with a set of pre-installed loops.
•	You can not Receive audio from external samplers.
•	You can not Open files.
•	You can not Save ReCycle (RCY) files.

Full documentation is included in Acrobat format, in two parts: "Operation Manual" and "Sampler Supplement".

To be able to read the Acrobat documentation you must have Acrobat Reader 3.0 or later installed on your computer. An installer for this is included on the CD-ROM!

Important Points to Note
In order to avoid problems, there are a few points that we recommend that you check thoroughly. Please refer to the ReCycle documentation for more details:

•	Please read the Sampler Supplement for your sampler(s)!
The Sampler Supplement contains important information about each particular sampler. Read the chapter pertaining to your particular model(s), before you start using ReCycle! Failing to do so may lead to lost data, or in the worst case, damaged equipment!

•	Observe the sampler notes.
In the Setup Samplers dialog, there are some important notes about each sampler. Read them!

•	Make sure your sampler has the latest OS version!
If you are unsure of which OS (operating system) version you have, or which is the latest, please refer to your sampler's documentation and your local dealer or distributor. Sometimes sampler operating systems can be downloaded from the manufacturer's web pages.

•	Make sure you have the latest drivers for your MIDI and SCSI interfaces.
Please refer to your MIDI/SCSI card's documentation and your local dealer and or distributor. Normally, the latest drivers can be downloaded from the manufacturer's web pages.

“Find” and “Find All” and High SysEx IDs
The MIDI part of the Find and Find All features in ReCycle 1.7 assume that your samplers are set to MIDI System Exclusive ID numbers 1 to 16. If you have your samplers set to higher SysEx IDs, these functions will fail.

Sound Buffer Note
To get the shortest possible response times when playing back audio in the program, it is important that you follow the instructions for selecting an audio card and adjusting the buffer size setting, in the Preferences dialog. How to do this is described in the Windows Help and in the Operation Manual.

If you fail to adjust the buffer, the sound might be distorted or ReCycle might be unnecessarily slow, for example when auditioning slices.

Windows NT and SCSI cards
ReCycle requires ASPI to communicate with samplers via SCSI. If you run Windows NT, you may have a SCSI card that works fine with external hard disks, CD-ROM drives etc, without having a full version of ASPI installed. If you do, SCSI communication with samplers will not work. If this is the case, please refer to the folder "ASPI" on your ReCycle CD-ROM, it includes a full Adaptec ASPI install.

Multi-Port Interfaces
It has come to our attention that there are compatibility problems between some samplers (Ensoniq and Yamaha primarily) and some multi-port MIDI interfaces. This is due to the fact that these samplers transmit their MIDI data in very large MIDI packages, something that not all multi-port interfaces can handle. If you run into this problem, either switch to a simpler MIDI interface for communication with this sampler, or contact the manufacturer of the MIDI interface to see if there's another solution.

Thanks for choosing ReCycle!
