Getting Started

2.1

System Requirements

The program is designed to operate on machines with the following specification

•

A 486 PC (or faster) running Microsoft Windows 95 or NT4.0

•

8MBytes RAM

•

1.5Mbytes Disk space

•

Multimedia Drivers for use with attached XG Synthesiser

•

Mouse

It is recommended that the program be used at a minimum Windows display resolution of 800 x 600 with

256 colours. However to allow use on display resolutions below this, the dialog window boundary is sizeable

and may be scrolled.

2.2

From Windows, RUN the install program SETUP.EXE

•

From the installation dialog, follow prompts until the installation is complete.

•

You may now delete the temporary directory

•

Return to Program Manager/Desktop and click on the XGedit icon to start the program.

2.3

Configuration

From the

Setup Menu

select the

Setup Midi

option to bring up the Midi Port Setup dialog. Select the

required input/output drivers for your attached XG synth (these will normally be listed as SB16 In/Out for

Daughter boards or SW60 for internal cards. External modules may be attached to any valid midi port with

external connections).

It is strongly recommended that a driver capable of accepting multiple connections for Midi Out is used. This

will enable the editor to be used in parallel with your favourite sequencer (such a driver is the SW60XG

Driver, the Twelve Tone MPU driver, Herman Seibs Multimid driver, the MidiOx Midi Yoke drivers or the

Hubis Loopback drivers).

Contrary to popular belief Multimid is compatible with most Win95 midi drivers (if you are using

SB16 drivers ensure you have version 4.13 or above).

Multi Client drivers may be obtained by following the links from the Utils page of the authors web

site http://www.cybertheque.fr/galerie/GGregson

To test if the XG synth module is in communication with the program, right click on the display keyboard. If

you hear the notes being played then everything is OK. If not :-

•

Confirm the correct drivers are installed by using an alternate program to drive the synth from

Windows.

•

Check all midi leads are correctly connected.

Once you can hear notes being played from the keyboard, try moving the volume knob within the Part

module. If the sound level from the synth changes accordingly then everything is OK. If not:-

•

Select the XG Reset button to ensure the attached synth is in XG mode.

•

Check the UNIT Number displayed in the Master Module matches that of the Attached synth (if in

doubt Press the GM button and try the Part volume knob again. If the knob now works, then you

have probably changed the default setting (16) for the XG UNIT number. Click on the GM button

again to return to Sysex mode and adjust the UNIT number dial until the volume knob works.

You’re now ready to start editing…I hope you enjoy the program and support future versions by
