This folder contains a couple of additional files that you can use with easy beat.
The Drum Patterns folder contains a few templates that you may wish to add to easy beat's “Insert Template” menu. To make them available in easy beat, copy the files to the “Templates” folder. You can also put the entire “Drum Patterns” folder (or an alias) into the “Templates” folder.
Guitar Tuning Jingles may be useful for guitar players who cannot use easy beat's built-in guitar tuner. It contains separate (initially disabled) tracks for various popular guitar tunings. The first measure of each track contains six quarter notes for all open strings. The loop is enabled and covers the first two measures.
To tune your guitar, click the speaker icon of the desired tuning to enable the track, then click the Play button. The second measure was deliberately left empty to leave enough time for adjusting the strings.
MIDI->easy beat is a converter application for MIDI files. If you have a MIDI file that cannot be opened with easy beat, rename it such that it ends with “.mid” and drag the file onto the “MIDI->easy beat” application icon. It should then appear with the correct easy beat MIDI icon.
Hint: You can convert multiple files in one step by dropping a whole bunch of files on the “MIDI->easy beat” icon.
The Mini Movies folder contains short movies that you can use to embed MIDI files in web pages. Please read the “MIDI on the Internet” document for details.
Note: These movies are 193 pixels wide and 16 pixels high. Make sure to specify these dimensions in the <embed> tag to avoid distortion of the images.
If you want to contribute your own templates, tuning files, MIDI mappings or example songs, please e-mail them to <easybeat-support@unisoft.co.at>.
