Developers guide

Ensoniq MIDI-Disk Tools has two modes of wavesample viewing:
Full
This shows you the entire wavesample, from beginning to end.
Zoom
This shows you a 30K portion of the wavesample. If the wavesample is less
than 30K, only a portion of the wavesample will show. If the wavesample is
larger than 30K, there will be a scroll bar listed under the view screen. You
can move this around to view different portions of the wavesample.
When you go into the SampleVue screen, the program will automatically at-
tempt to read the selected Wavesample. Ensoniq MIDI-Disk Tools will check
rst if the portion of the wavesample has already been written to disk. If it has,
it will read that portion and write it to the screen - very fast. If it has not, it will
attempt to read the Wavesample portion via MIDI, which is slower.
Remember, all the data is being written to a authentic Ensoniq le in the PC,
so you can always download it using the Disk Tools utility to oppy disk or
SCSI.

mple in the Wavesample List box.

Wavesample List Box. You may also scroll down and choose one of the default

MIDI Tester
This will help you test the MIDI Commu-
nication between the computer and your
Ensoniq. Four tests are implemented,
designed to imitate the type of communi-
cation the program will have.
Try all the tests. If any of them fail, explore the options the program gives you. If
you are still stumped, please call us at the numbers displayed. We recommend
that you be in front of your computer when you call.
Send Test: The computer sends out a Virtual Button Press (Sys-Ex). The
EPS/ASR should blink when this is received.
Receive Test: The computer waits for a Sys-Ex message to be sent from
the EPS/ASR. Once it is received, the test completes.
Single Handshake Test: The computer sends out a request for the Master
Tune parameter. The computer then waits for a Sys-Ex message to come
back. The test completes when the sys-ex message is received.
