-
- On this disk is a SMUS score player. The player can use any instrument
- written by SynthiaPro/II including AudioIFF, Mimetics, 8SVX IFF, Sonix, etc
- samples. This SMUS player can play most SMUS files from Deluxe Music,
- Sonix, Instant Music, and several other score editors. It will also
- play the "hidden" chords written by Instant Music. To use the player:
-
- 1. Click the SynthiaPlay icon and a window will
- open.
- 2. Set "Mode" to "Select Instrument Dir". If the instruments you are going
- to use are in another directory besides the "Instruments" directory
- on this disk, type in the name of the directory containing the
- instruments in the "Dir" box. When you are done, the names of the
- instruments should be displayed in the window.
- 3. Set "Mode" to "Select Score".
- 4. If the SMUS score you want to play is not located in the "Scores"
- directory on this disk, type in the name of the directory containing
- the score into the "Dir" box. Use the arrows to scroll the name of
- the desired score into the window.
- 5. Click over the name of the score and select "LOAD".
- 6. When the pointer returns to normal (not "BUSY"), select "PLAY" to hear
- the score. You may select "STOP" at any time to stop the playback.
- 7. Repeat the above starting at 4 to load and play another score.
-
- For best results, instruments should be saved in AudioIFF 8-bit format.
- (AudioIFF is the format used by the "Load/Save" window in SynthiaPro and
- an option in Synthia II.)
- The best sampling rates will fall between 8khz and 20khz. Anything higher
- than aproximately 20khz will be scaled down so the Amiga hardware can
- handle it.
-
- You may use the SMUSUtilities on this disk to modify various SMUS scores
- to take various instruments playable by SynthiaPlay. You may use AudioIFF,
- 8SVX, Sonix, and several other types of instruments.
-
- About This Disk
-
- There are several songs and instruments on this disk. The songs were
- downloaded from several BBS's and then changed with SetInst to accept AudioIFF
- instruments. All of the instruments used in the songs were either created or
- modified with Synthia II. Note the high quality as you are listening to
- the songs. This is the kind of quality generated by Synthia Professional,
- Synthia II, and EZ FM Synth!
