-
- To configure RCDEMO for use with your computer and MIDI setup, run
- RCCONFIG. The configuration is saved as RCESQ.CNF. To start RCDEMO, just
- type in RCDEMO at your DOS prompt. The program will first start by
- displaying an advertisment, waiting 10 seconds, then starting the program.
- After the advertisement, you are in the main program. From the main
- program you can bring up the menu by hitting [ENTER] or hit [H] to bring up
- the on-line help menu.
-
-
- To make the program easier to use, the function keys have been programmed
- with the following functions:
-
- [F1] Create a new bank [F6] Receive bank
- [F2] Kill bank [F7] Edit patch
- [F3] Load bank [F8] Graphically edit patch
- [F4] Save bank [F9] Audition patch

- [CTRL-ESC] Return to main program from ANY menu
- [ARROW KEYS] Use to choose menu option
- [ENTER] Select menu option
-
- To quickly choose any menu option, press the capitalized
- letter in that option.
-
- Only from main program:
- [TAB],
- [SHIFT-TAB] Change active (highlighted) bank
- [ARROW KEYS] Change current (highlighted) patch
- [CTRL-E] Select macro to execute
-
-
- Since Remote Control: ESQ allows 26 banks in memory at once, a bank is
- chosen to be the ACTIVE bank. Usually, the active bank is the last one
- created. The active bank is denoted by a highlighted, double line border.
- To change the active bank, press [TAB] or [SHIFT-TAB]. Also, a patch in
- that bank is the CURRENT patch. To change the current patch, use the
- [ARROW KEYS]. The current patch is highlighted patch in the active bank.
- You can only change the active bank and current patch from the main
- program. To return to the main program from any menu, press [CTRL-ESC].
