- Welcome to the Demo Project for DirectMusic Producer, DirectX 8 version.
-
- This project is designed to be a teaching tool to aid in familiarizing users with some
- basic techniques that are available in DirectMusic.
-
- It is recommended that you set your screen resolution to 1024 X 768 for the purposes of this
- project only.
-
- It is recommended that you audition this project with the default synth, the Microsoft
- Synthesizer. While other synths can be used, they may not support all the features of
- DirectX 8, e.g., audiopaths and effects. This Demo Project does not require you to set up
- specific ports (any pchannel should be supported). Number of voices allocated is set to 128
- by default. This can be edited by right clicking the MIDI/Performance Options button in the
- Transport Options toolbar.
-
- The Project is organized into bookmarks. Bookmarks are very helpful in retaining window
- settings for demo or authoring purposes. Notice the Go to Bookmark dropdown list; it's next
- to the little flag icon. Progress through the bookmarks in order to experience this Demo
- Project.
-
- You'll recognize the first 33 bookmarks, as they are from DirectX7. DX8 examples start at
- bookmark 34.
-
- The files referenced by bookmarks 43-46 are provided by Sonic Implants. For more DLS sounds
- go to www.sonicimplants.com.
-
- Have fun; use these modest little examples as starting points for experimentation. We hope
- you can envision some variable and interactive possibilities for your music.
