2) The Sound Card/MIDI Setup Test
---------------------------------
When EasyKeys is run for the first time, it gives you the option
of running the Sound Card/MIDI Setup Test before continuing. It is
strongly recommended that you run this test in order to eliminate
any possible sound problems which may occur.
The Sound Card/MIDI Setup Test is a series of procedures which
determine what sound device configuration is best suited for use
with your system. You can run these diagnostics at any time by
clicking on the 'Auto Configure...' button in the EasyKeys's Setup
dialog. This test gives you a quick and easy way to configure
your sound device for use with EasyKeys.
The Sound Card/MIDI Setup Test asks you a series of questions while
attempting to play music using the available sound sources. Your
answers to these questions help EasyKeys to recognize what type of
sound card or MIDI instrument you have in order to insure that the
music always plays correctly on it.
If you change your system configuration in a way which may affect
EasyKeys, the program detects this and runs the Sound Card/MIDI
Setup Test again, automatically.
--------------------------------
3) How EasyKeys Installs Itself
--------------------------------
The EasyKeys Setup program does very little in the way of
modifying your current Windows environment. The Setup program
adds one simple line to your Win.ini file:
sjm=C:\EASYKEYS\easykeys.exe ^.jbx
In addition, the Setup program asks you to specify a directory
where it will then install EasyKeys and the following
associated subdirectories:
. The JAMBOX subdirectory contains a demo song.
. The STYLES subdirectory contains styles.
. The WAVES subdirectory contains .WAV files.
------------------
4) Latest Features
------------------
In addition to the features listed and described in the
EasyKeys Guide Book, you'll find several new improvements in
this version:
. Holding down the shift key while clicking on a 'Drums & Hits' pad
allows you to assign a voice to the pad without clicking on the
'Assign' button.

5) The Blue Ribbon Connection

The Blue Ribbon Connection. This service is free to all
REGISTERED users of Blue Ribbon products. To join The Blue
Ribbon Connection, call (404) 315-0211. Set your modem to 8,N,1.

6) CompuServe Support
---------------------
The Blue Ribbon SoundWorks also provides full support services via
the CompuServe Information Service. CompuServe members can speak
