OCR: Octaves and other Musical bits .... In theory, Octamed could handle samples which can generate 5 octaves. In practice, the samples that you will come across will only span 3 octaves. This will be adequate for most applications. What do we mean by this? Well, Try loading in the sample "shamus" into the program. Now press F1. Note that the octave number (on the strip, between the current block number and the "E"> shows 12. Play the key Z (note C). Now press F2. Note that the octave number changes to 23. Play a "C" again. The sound is now eight notes or one octave higher. Now play Z, X, C, V, B, N, M, , . You have just played a scale of C on the computer. Clever eh? The function keys F1 to F5 control your octaves, and it's easier to use them than to keep clicking on the octave selector. Now, click on the "E". The block will be highlighted, and you have now turned on the edit facility. Now play the same notes again, and you will see that things begin to happen in the edit window. You are now entering notes into the program. Play a few, and then click PLAY BLOCK. The notes that you have entered will be played back to you. All that you need to learn now is how to control what is played. Space bar .........
