Installation Instructions
1. Take your installation CD-ROM, and insert it into your CD-ROM Drive.
2. The Setup program should automatically start up (if Auto-Insert Notication
is turned on in your PC). If it does not, click Start-Run and type d:\setup
(where "d" is your CD-ROM Drive letter). From there follow the prompts (it
should be self-explanatory).
3. After SETUP is nished, connect your EPS/ASR to your MIDI interface.
Both IN and OUT must be connected. Turn on your EPS/ASR and be sure
to either have the OS oppy inserted or the hard drive selected with the OS,
for the program may access the OS for an overlay during its operation.
4. Turn SYS-EX=ON on the EPS/ASR. This is required for use with the MIDI
engine. Double-cluck on the Chicken icon, and you are ready to roll! Please
follow the start-up screen by typing in your name to personalize the pro-
gram, and set your MIDI In and MIDI Out drivers, what MIDI channel you
want the computer to communicate to the EPS/ASR from, the place where
you want your Disk Files to go, and the type of sampler you will be using. If
the program has problems at any point, don’t hesitate to call or write Rub-
ber Chicken Software Co.
After this, you’re set! We have tested this program on many PC’s and many
sound-cards, but in this world of incontinuity and incompatibility, perhaps there
are conicts and machine errors that will cause problems. Again, please call
us toll-free and discuss your problems - we have many possible solutions
(please see Troubleshooting as well).
Thanks to Piet Crombach and Mike De Laat for their patient overseas commu-
nication and sharing of ideas about the EPS/ASR sys-ex spec.
Thanks to Arthur Edstrom of Artic Software, and James Shields and Ruth
James of Mabry Software, for their MIDICoolTools/MIDIPack, which is used in
this product. Thanks for their personal gift of support.
Thanks also to James Erwin, Michael Love Graves, Mark Pulvar, Timo Kuit-
tenten, Ed Buchmayer, Dennis Chesanek, Gregg Lentz, James Olsen, Michael
Bahr, Patrick Howell, Ron Williams, Jesper Gummeson, George Kalarant, Le-
roy Coleman and Michael Baker (for the MIDI Keyboard improvements), and
several other people that took their time and helped us along our way. This
program wouldn’t be without you!
