VBSYX - SYSEX Decoder/Encoder for Roland Sound Canvas Modules
Version 1.4i
Mike Le Voi, Author/Programmer
Lee Jackson, Consulting Author
Copyright (c) 1996 M. R. Le Voi Systems Consultants
All Rights Reserved
VBSYX is designed to decode and encode System Exclusive (SYSEX) messages
for many Roland <tm> Sound Modules and Cards. Currently, the program
specifically supports SYSEX messages for the SC-55, SC-155, SCC1, SC-88,
M-GS64 and RAP-10. Other compatible modules/cards will probably work with
this program: however, they are not specifically supported.
Please see the files REGISTER.TXT, ORDER.FRM (for Australian and
International, non-United States orders) and ORDER.USA (for United States
orders) files included in this archive for information on registering this
program.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
=========================
1) Unzip this archive. Run the SETUP.EXE program enclosed.
WARNING - WARNING - WARNING - WARNING
If you don't have a copy of VBRUN300.DLL (the Visual Basic 3
DLL runtime library) in your x:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory, the
SETUP program and VBSYX won't run. Get hold of a copy or ask
me for one.
2) The program will copy CMDIALOG.VBX, SPIN.VBX, THREED.VBX,
COMMDLG.DLL, MIDIVBX.VBX and CALLBACK.DLL to your x:
\WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory if you don't already have a copy of
these files.
Note: You may have older versions of these files. VBSYX will
NOT work with them. If the program won't load OR does strange
things during operation, use the VBXs I sent you. MAKE BACKUP
COPIES OF YOUR ORIGINALS FIRST!
It MIGHT be possible to set the Working Directory for the
Program Item to be the same as the directory where all files
that came with this program are stored. This should work, but
it is not foolproof as Windows may have loaded the other VBXs
for use by other Windows programs. Play safe: copy the files.
Keep the old VBXs in case something else stops working <g>
3) Use PKUNZIP or whatever to unzip the SYX.ZIP file to a
suitable directory (e.g., C:\VBSYX\SYSEX). This file contains
example SYSEX files for you to use.
4) Let it rip. View the HELP, CONTENTS FIRST! I know: you never
use help. Well, in this case, do what you're told. There are
some *very* important messages there.
Let me know if you find any bugs - if you don't, I won't know to fix them.
If possible, MIME send me a copy of any .SYX file you are having trouble
with. This will make my diagnostic work much easier %-) I'll take a
UUENCODED version at a pinch. Send this to the addresses shown below.
Let me know if you have suggestions for improvement. I may do something
about them.
Mail all suggestions, compliments, requests for technical support, etc to:
mlevoi@modemss.brisnet.org.au
Good Luck!
