The [goto] lets you save frequently used directories. While the between several sub directories. You can save the current path as a macro in central one take you to any in the current hierarcical tree. The item with the snake biting its tail will hold the path of the subdirectory you last jumped from.
Reset To be used in between changing cartridges. The name field in the dialog is optional. If you have already registered, you can get the regis- About the Eject menu command. The eject selecting the menu. The commands were covered in the previous section, and you can also Otherwise the first EPS drive will be ejected. If you happen to have a hard- see what the keyboard equivalents are by simply selecting the menus. In disk cartridge that can be programmatically ejected, this will be ejected as addition to these there are some keyboard shortcuts you can not find out what long as it is an EPS formatted drive.
The shortcuts in the image window are similar to these and You may have some hard disks or cartridges where your instruments really applies to navigation. Here is the list for the image window. The move command changes [enter] has the same effect as double clicking when a file entry is hilited the location of a file within the directory hierarchy.
To accomplish this, the [page-up] if you are in a subdirectory it will take you to the level above; if procedure only changes the directories, but do not move the actual files on you work on a TS floppy, this takes you to the root level.
You may the hard disk. This means that when you use the move command, you do not alternatively use the left-arrow. Pressing these keys is the only way to run the risk that your hard disk becomes fragmented. If no The move command is only hilited when you have selected a file in the file hiliting exist you move it in from the top-root level.
You can also select a subdirectory and move it. You can move any combinations of regular files and subdirectories in one operation. All your selections will be moved to the same destination. The B10 floppy When you hit [ move ] , you will see that the button changes to [ ToHere ] and a [Cancel] button appears while others disappear.
The idea of the program is otherwise always that you transfer files into or out of the image. The image is always the The B10 floppy is a special floppy. In the electronic EPSm shipment package playground for your operation.
It is the workbench. Now it is not anymore. I describe the procedure you have to follow to make your you do things.
However the operation is different. So the commands you have own. You will need to transfer the program MakeB Or you can transfer it over network. Their active Put the program on the PC hard disk and start it by typing its name state changes dependant upon your actions. On the PC, I assume there is a 3. There are also a few additional in position A:. Put an EPS formatted floppy into the drive.
Then just press M keyboard shortcuts some of which are similar to those that exist for images. You will be prompted for the drive letter of your EPS floppy. Then the program will start and the process should take less should be easy to go in and out of SCSI mode. The purpose should only be to select files you When makeB You then switch back to the SCSI window label it clearly.
You only need one or two working copies of this disk Keyboard shortcuts and navigation. You can do the same by hitting [enter] when a hilited entry is if you use the B10 as a transfer media and not a storage media..
Was that unclear? You can pull out a hilite stripe out of nowhere by pressing [down-arrow]. You can move this hilite stripe up and down by the up and down arrows. You can Of coarse, you can use B10 floppies exclusively, so instead of formatting new pull it out of the listing all together by pulling it out at the bottom of the list by floppies you may choose to copy the floppy. I use it for the [down arrow]. The B10 floppy has less storage capacity than a normal EPS floppy. You can also navigate by two of the popupmenus at the top of the dialog.
The one in center shows the current path. You can move to any of these by selecting one of them in a normal way. I assume You see that this is less space efficient than format 1. Put a TS10 formatted DD floppy into the drive. Then just press M for M ake It!.
Then the program How you get new records into the database is the same for the two formats, you will start and the process should take less than half a minute. EPSm will generate a text file for you. You then Select All -A and Copy - and they will last a long time. That is, which you also select by There is also a program to make a similar floppy but from HD floppies.
You may have to adjust this to make it to work with your labels. After you have copied records into the database of format 2 there are many ways you may find useful for sorting or searching the data. Two additional lay- outs and associated macros are supplied. You have to load the macros into ClarisWorks. If you want to list all samples and sounds on a floppy together then you use the macro. The same data base can also be sorted by category.
They should have written instructions in them. What is done is that EPSm will write the floppy info on a floppy with the SuperDrive is blocks you should limit the file size to like directory to a text file. You insert a floppy one at a time and the floppy info that. If everyone did so, there would be less problems. Sometime you may get is added to the text file. You then import the text file to your favourite Data hold of an image yourself which has larger file size and you want to put it into Base Program.
We will take a few examples and tell what you do about version 1 and 2 and for FileMaker Pro. Here is described the format s of the them. This will change your files so make back-up, if you feel uncertain text files so that you can set up your own database easily.
If you have none of these packages, then a look at the screenshots of the datbases will give you Assume you have a disk image holding an instrument that is, say, an idea. You will have to divide it up and make a multifile instrument. In this case you will spread the instrument over two floppies. Just press [OK]. To the every new Mac.
You can import the text files into these databases by import- right of the instrument size is displayed the numbers 1 and 2. To transfer this instrumet to floppy you will simply activate Then you switch over to the database. If you do that you will have the second part of the instrument appear in your database. Format 1. Another example. Assume you have two disk images, together holding one Writes out all the information in the directory. A directory can contain 39 instrument.
If there are less than this, then empty fields are skipped. In the present case. You can transfer this to a floppy by choosing -D. Two floppies will be needed. In either case you and Comments. The supplied Claris Work database is like that.. Press [load] and the display terminates a record by a carriage return. The number 1 signifies it is a multi file instrument file. Load the instrument into any slot.
Format 2. Writes the same fields but allows you to search for a sound by category. Apparently to me. All fields are again delimitated by tabs and the record is ended by you can not put several multi files from the same instrument on the same carriage return.
But for this format there is a new record for every new entry in floppy even if space permitted. Hopefully the illustrations clock pulses.
The best value is dependent on the speed of your drive. You also can customize the program number to use to invoke the macro to take you to root directory. You would open these images and split the files, and you also need to edit the multifile index. There are 3 original images. These have their Q. They were intro- you split the entries and you need two floppies for each image to transfer to duced by Giebler for the IBM-PC. Most EDT files are zip compressed.
What you do to them should be fairly simple. You have to edit the multifile indexes as shown below. Transfer as binary, not as ascii. If the file in the archive ended with. EDT, then it should already be unzipped. Drop the file TSfile. Launch EPSm. These floppies can be read by the Mac and you can save an image of your floppy on the Mac, or you can mail the image to a friend.
The first part will be placed in the current image, and the Midi channel 3. You also have the option of cancelling the fetch or changes. Instrument posistion. Large disks and banks Further in order to load a sound you need to know which directory you are Banks written to floppies with EPSm works as normal as long as all the content in.
It is thus easiest to take all starts from the ROOT level. If that is not the case, you may experience problems unless you pay some attention. Let me try to explain why this is so. A Thus there are a few handy prepaations you should consider. The bank store a reference to a file. The reference is always by number, not by 1. Make a possibly new Macro file by going to the root directory. For an EPS classic floppies the reference to the files is only by the file Save that position as Macro number Make 8 Midi instruments, save everything as a bank and save the well.
That is one reason you should be careful with editing disk-labels. The file bank as the first file in a new directory. Then save that location as reference also tells if the file is located on a floppy or any of 7 possible SCSI Macro The bank on a classic contains information on the file 3.
Save the Macrofile, after filling in some other of your favourites. Finally it holds file. For preparing your ASR, you invoke Macro 12 and press enter to Effect and the routing of instruments to the effect busses load all the Midi instruments.
Your ASR is ready for sequencer communication work. If you write an image that will be spread out over two floppies, then you should try to do the following Now we can enter the piano patch. Navigate in EPSm to the piano you want. Select it, press cmd-C. This brings up a dialog - we call it the bank statement. If you are by your EPS Copy you may as well bring this screen up when you want to load instruments to your 2. If not, you can copy the statement to the clipboard and paste it into a word- 3.
Place the cursor in the track and press cmd-V. Load according to that from the two disks. Load also the r e p e a t correct song. Set the volume and the panning according to the bank statement.
Note that should load instruments sequentially, not in paralell. When that is done, save all the instruments and the song to a newly for- matted floppy. There are a few options you can setup if you want to.
These are acessed from Currently there are no easy way to recreate presets. If you you have a bank in the image, the bank will ments very easy. Load all the instruments and the Song s and effect s.
Then always point to the files found in the image. So you will need to edit the you can load the bank s. Here is one convenient way to is supposed to just change the track. It will not reload an instrument if one is accomplish the task..
Loading the bank should set all the routing and mixing informa- tion only since the instruments are loaded. The no-reload-unless-nessecary fea- 1. Open the image in EPSm and select all the files. The results may be highly unpredictable. You will notice that the ordering of the files will be the same as in the image. The purpose tain references to file numbers, not to actual file names. Here it is reproduced: 4. Doubleclick the first file in the directory and notice the Key besides the filename.
Double click the bank in the SCSI window. Double click the first instrument of the bank. The Bank Editor dialog then appears. If the File was 3, you should enter , if it was 1 In the above example, the bank was located on the floppy called BLUS All the files in the bank is located on this floppy. The bank can now be loaded from the ASR If you rather want your files organized, you can File references on a hard disk move your files around to other directories.
If you check the Most people do not use subdirectories on floppies. The file references consists of the following info: P. Load Instruments from Hard disk in a Vision Sequence. Here is what you do to load for.
You can unzip it with StuffIt Ex- Here subdir is a number. It is the subdirectory number. That is the number pander with Enhancer from Alladin Software. On a Mac one could 3. Whereas on the 4. This saves the files to you Mac hard disk represents the subdirectories or folders. If you want to load an instrument by 5. To make a new empty image. When a file in a bank is located in a subdirectory the instrument or song file 8.
Which is a key to the actual file. In this example you navigate to the file from the. EDA and. EDE files are normally not fully expanded to an image. In that subdirectory you select the subdirectory that has entry No 3. You can only expand the files if their extention is in PC Capitals. The Finally the target file is located at entry No 5 in that subdirectory. The formatted DD floppy.
EDE files to Ensoniq floppies. You can make a new bank entry from scratch by matted DD floppy. You may need two floppies or the same twice. So you can then not edit the split. When you've become an expert, you can open the.
EDE file by Disklabel and Device has no independent meaning and can not be changed. The device is part of the reference which tells the EPS which instrument to load. This file reference is a key to the file as described above in the O.
So the File reference is organized the same way as how you would select the file by a series of Midi program change commands, The Transferring files from an image to a SCSI drive can be convenient with complete reference to a file as found in the bank file consist of Device ID, File EPSm.
You can transfer all files in the image to the same directory or to and Disk Label. The Volume and Pan entries are just edit text fields. You can add as many files as there is entering 0, zero. The bus setting is shown by a PopUpControl. This is for setting all file refer- ences in the bank statement to the same except the last filenumber in the N. Lets give an example; You have a bank where all instruments resides on a floppy with no subdirectories.
The bank statement then shows EDA and. Ensoniq Disk number. The expanded archive then becomes with key Then you double-click any instrument in the bank statement to equivalent to an image and you can then open that. EDA you expand open the bank editor. The instrument you opened had say filenumber 2. You to [EDA ], for. EDA file to one or two HD floppies. That digit is the same number as the filenumber in the floppy image.
EDA files to on the floppy, the bank will be intact. Ensoniq hard disk. It need to be transferred as binary, not as ascii 2. The selected files will then be transferred to your hard disk. When you have become an expert user you can open the. EDA files to "Good to know" comments Ensoniq floppies.
The changes that you make will be permanent.. The disk image is updated 2. To play the Roland samples on lems with this, I suggest you make a copy in the Finder of the image you your EPS: intend to start to work on. Launch EPSm subdirectories 2. The program do not Select to make an EPS2 image is recommended, but you can make fully support sub directories for images because of the way I have chosen to what you want. You can navigate through the directories, you can delete 3.
You can add files. The conversed with SMAC. SCSI management do of coarse fully support subdirectories. Take the floppy to your sampler, stuff it in the drive and load the with a Mac. The O. It is a little special. If you save the O. EFE file and then move it back into another image, the results M. Many programs on the Mac dealing with sound use this file format.
In plain text this means that generally you cannot get the O. You log into the ftp site with your favourite ftp software, here disk image to your EPS. However this situation have changed sometime during 2. When the file is transferred, quit Fetch. This also means that 6b. Those files would become corrupted. Others have not been tested. Again you may obtain them EPSm uses temporary files for some of its operations such as imports.
You can Please locate that yourself. They available from Terje. You read what you need to know in the docs for that should be placed in the temporary folder in the system folder, the content of prog. You need to download the sample archive as binary. The sample which should be emptied regularly by the system. You can then edit it yourself. Then select as many files as other might have done to the disk.
They do not tell each other. This makes instru- directory to something else and then back to the working directory. Changing ments which contain the samples, and they will be placed in the directory always make the last updates active. Not the PC type. You need to have the formatted floppy as you are told to. If you made a ASRc image you required drivers in the extention folder of your Mac. I use the following. With K-Snatcher you can also save the single files as EPS related extentions; so if you have problems, you may try removing those that instruments.
You can then fetch those into an image or onto your Ensoniq are not on the list above. How you get the files in the first place can vary. The same ID is hardwired for the from a friend.
There exist a program written by t. The ID is set by 3 jumper also an ftp site on the net that carry these samples. SMAC will extract the positions. You can just put in the appropriate cartridges when you need them. When the DB prefs dialog cartridge at startup. It usually comes with the Syquest cartridges. You can EPSm is in a special mode as for K and only waits for you to insert a have an EPS cartridge in the drive or no cartridge in the drive when booting floppy.
You can switch to other applications but you cannot do anything else up. After booting, you can change carts as you like. You can have a friend with these kind of samples.
He may lend you some floppies. There is a testfile for you to try in the electronic package of user. This usually amounts to checking files and floppies and if they are EPSm. Or if you are on the internet you can rob files from the tx16w outside what the program should handle the program bails out or you are not mailing lists archive site. Just log in to rydnet-gw. You invoke he Then download and unzip the archive. That give you a several samplefiles.
The operations affected by this will change much with the EPSm 1. From version , it allows opening of any file as an image, or writing 2. They take too much 4.
Now all the hard disk space, require much memory and it will overall take longer to work files you have selected will be converted to EPS format and placed on it. If you think you must, you can of coarse use them. You can read ASR in the image. If there is no more room for a file EPSm tells so.
If you read a blank one, you have will then leave an EFE file on your hard disk which you can later created an empty image. You could duplicate this image from the Finder import to another image every time you wanted a new image. But, again, it is not recomended. This 5. Take the floppy to your EPS and play Lots of small things. At least up to OS 3. The OS versions before perhaps more meaningful names. You have to edit these samples.
You 1. In most of these cases the sequences will play back OK, but have to tune them and change key assignment..
Also on the ASR, there will be errors if you try to loop sequences. SuperDisk HFEs. Note: GKH format is the same as a standard raw image file except with a byte header.
For the desperate or masochistic, this header can also be stripped manually with a hex editor, however tedious. Most useful for those unlucky souls without SCSI. Multiple EFEs placed into the same input folder will be grouped together and stored on the same Ensoniq disk image.
