WARNING!!!!!
THIS OCTAMED MODULE IS ONLY INTENDED FOR PLAY ON A YAMAHA CS1x. IT
WILL NOT WORK ON ANY OTHER KEYBOARD/SYNTH/CARD/SOUND MODULE. It is not
GS, GM or XG, and uses the CS1x's material voices, effects, and
controllers.
Just connect up your CS1x via a MIDI interface, make sure you are in
performance mode and click play. The first block should initialise the
CS1x, send the main performance and set up the other channels used.
***********************************************************************
NB: I'd recommend re-initialising your CS1x somehow before play to
make the song play correctly, the best way to do this, I think, is to
put your keyboard in Multi mode and then back to performance to reset
controllers for channels 5-16, and then change to a preset performance
to get rid of the Current (Edited) performances settings (I find that
this is important).
***********************************************************************
A quick note that you can find a lot of CS1x related data at "The CS1x
Archive" at cs1x.hypermart.net :)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
What you are about to hear is the result of a few months hard work (on
and off).
After extensive reading of the CS1x Data Lists, I finally figured out
how to control most of the CS1x to do what I want through Octamed's
non-ideal MIDI support. Most things are controlled by MIDI messages
and some by Octamed's controller commands.
Anyway, the final result isn't bad, but not musically brilliant, now I
know how to do most of the MIDI stuff I can concentrate more on the
music side in future productions :)
Hmmmm, I wonder how many Amiga-CS1x-Octamed users there are out there,
since there are only going to be a few people who can listen to this
module without it being converted to some other form.
Enjoy the tune anyway.
(I really sould get a decent MIDI sequencer, but I'm so used to Octamed
Now)
Blah blah blah.
Signing off for now.
