- HELLO WORLD !
- We are the SOUNDPIRATES
- and...
-
- ...this is a DEMO of ZEUS, the editor and bankloader for E-MU Morpheus
- /Ultra-Proteus for the ATARI. Yes, we all turned that KNOB some miles and hours...
- but the remedy is here!
-
- ZEUS runs on ATARI ST; STE; MEGA ; TT; and FALCON with minimum 1MB and 640*400
- screen resolution (..REAL fun on a TT with a big screen!).It features full
- GEM-compatibility; size and position of open windows can be saved in the setup;
- "clean" Code that runs under all TOS-Versions, including multitasking (tested
- under MAG!X and MROS-Switcher in conjunction with CUBASE), 3 Editors (PRESET,
- HYPER, MIDIMAP) with Bankloaders and etc...

-
- RESTRICTIONS OF THE DEMO-VERSION
-
- > MIDIMAP-Editor doesn't change data in the machine.
- > In the PRESET-editor following WINDOWS don't change data in the machine:
- FUNCTION GENERATORS, REALTIME-CONTROLLER, NOTE-ON-CONTROLLER.
- > In the HYPER-editor FREE RUN FUNCTION GENERATOR doesn't work.
- > The BANKLOADERS are only for looking.
-
- The full version of the program will be available September 1st 1995
- under the address listed at the top of this file.
- The price will be $ 100 US, plus shipping.
-
-
- ATARI's WITH 1 MB RAM
-
- You should avoid ACC's and autofolder-programs (exept, maybe NVDI, which
- speeds up the screen incredibly). Switching from one editor to the other
- takes a little time because the modules must be loaded from Floppy/Harddisk.
-
-
- ATARI's WITHOUT HARDDISK
-
- If the program wants you to "INSERT PROGRAM DISK", change
- the disk to the one, you started the program from.
-
-
-
- RUNINNG IT UNDER M-ROS SWITCHER
-
- The program needs at least 1260 KB, MIDI set to STANDARD, INPUT and OUTPUT
- to ATARI.
- Now you can start a sequence in Cubase (only 1 Track at a time, please!)
- and edit a sound/midimap/effect for the special needs of the song.
- NOTICE: The BASIC-CHANNEL in the MIDIMAP has to be set to the MIDI-channel
- the sequence runs on, in CUBASE, B E F O R E you switch to PRESET/HYPER-Editor.
- (See MIDIMAP-Editor for Details)
-
-
- LET'S GET STARTED
-
- * Before starting the program, MIDI-IN of ATARI must be connected to *
- * MIDI-OUT of the Morpheus/U-Proteus and MIDI-OUT of Atari with MIDI-IN *
- * of the Morpheus/U-Proteus. *
- * If there's no machine connected at program-start a Morpheus/U-Proteus *
- * can be emulated, for just taking a look at it. *
- * IN THIS CASE NO MIDI-DATA WILL BE TRANSMITTED !! *
-
- In most cases, we took the same names and parameter-locations that are used
- in the Morpheus/U-Proteus. If some terms are unknown, refer to the manuals
- of the Atari or E-MU machines.
-
-
- OPERATION
-
- Actually, ZEUS is not one editor, it's three editors with bankloaders and
- copy-windows: MIDIMAP-, PRESET- and HYPERPRESET-editor.
- The MASTER-editor doesn't belong in this category, because there's no
- bankloader or copy-window.
- You can switch between the editor-windows by clicking on the name-buttons,
- with <Control-N> (next), <Control-P> (previous), or with the first letter
- of the name, for example:
- <M> = Midimap EDITOR, <P> = Preset EDITOR, etc.
- "Inside" the editors there are more windows, like:
- <R> = Realtime Controller, <B> = Bankloader, etc. (see Hotkey-list).
- In the windows you can reach the part that can't be seen, by clicking
- on the grey part of the scroll-sliders or, better with the <Arrow-Keys>.
- <ESC> closes the current window.
- The position and size of the open windows can be saved in a setup
- with <Control-S> and will be present again with next program-start.
-
-
- For editing the parameters there are two types of adjustment-tools:
-
- with up- and down- arrow:
- * clicking on the down-arrow with the LEFT Mouse-button decreases the
- value by 1, with the RIGHT Mouse-button by 10. Guess what's happening
- when you hit the upward arrow...
- * clicking on the value-field opens a little window for keyboard editing.
-
- with one outlined down-arrow:
- * clicking on the arrow with the LEFT Mouse-button steps through values.
- * clicking on the value-field, shows a list to choose from (checked with a
- little hook).
-
-
- ALL EDITORS
-
- ...TO BANK - puts data to bankloader in the Atari
- ...FROM BANK - gets data from bankloader in the Atari
- SEND ... - saves data in RAM or CARD of the E-MU machine
- GET ... - receives Data from machine
- SEND to SCRATCH - sends data to edit-buffer of the machine
- GET from SCRATCH - receives data from edit-buffer of the machine
-
- If this option (SCRATCH) is selected, data will not be written to/read from
- RAM or CARD, but into/from the edit-buffer, where the "action" (editing)
- takes place. If you're not sure that the data is the same in both
- the machine and the Atari's SCRATCH, this might be necessary.
-
-
- MIDIMAP-EDITOR
-
- The BASIC-CHANNEL, in opposition to the other channels is black on white.
- It is the MIDI-channel on which the SysEx-Data communication happens.
- It is also the channel from where you start into another editor (if you
- change from MIDIMAP to PRESET-editor, the current preset on that MIDIMAP-
- channel will be edited). The BASIC-channel can be changed by clicking
- on the choosen white on black channel-number.
- You can listen to all the sounds on every channel without changing the
- BASIC-channel by clicking on their names or change a parameter and then
- start a sequence, by hitting the <space bar>.
- Inactive MIDI-channels (all messages OFF) show the names of their current
- PREST/HYPER in a light grey.
-
-
- SEQUENCER
-
- Hitting the <space-bar> starts a sequence, hitting it again, stops it.
- The <*>-key starts recording, <space-bar> stops it.
- The sequences are Standard-Midifile format, but only one track.
- The sequence AUTOLOAD.MID loads at program start.
