Type in “d:\autorun.exe” (where ‘d’ is the designation of your CD-ROM drive). The Beat 2000 startup program should now appear. Click the install button on the startup program and the setup program will now lead you through the installation process.


Starting Beat 2000

Insert the Beat 2000 CD into your CD-ROM drive and Beat 2000 will automatically start up.  Or you can start Beat 2000 by clicking the Start button on the task bar and select Aludra Software, click on Beat 2000 icon under the Programs menu.


The Interfaces

Beat 2000 consists of 2 interfaces;  the Beat 2000 interface and Pro 2000 interface.  Both interfaces are used to edit the same song information, but provide different kinds of editing choices.  The Beat 2000 interface displays the channels and various controls that affect the output levels in real time.  The Pro2000 interface displays the time line of the tracks, letting you edit your songs.


The Beat 2000 Interface

The main interface consists of 20 track buttons that store the sound samples, 20 dial controls corresponding to each track button,  record and playback controls, and links to other sound utilities for sound mixing and creation.  On startup, all tracks are empty, indicated by the gray light bulb under the channel number. (The bulb glows red when a track is loaded, and green when that track is playing). To load a track with sounds, you can either load a song from the Beat 2000 CD or insert your own tracks.  To play any of the tracks, simply click on the track button. To the left of the track buttons, there are 20 dials.  These dials control volume and panning of individual tracks.  Since the same dials are used for both volume and panning, you must select which mode you want by clicking the button labeled volume, or the button labeled panning.


Start Pro 2000

In the Beat 2000 interface, click on the Pro 2000 button.


Pro 2000

The Pro 2000 interface provide a different perspective to the same information as in the main interface.  When you record your own mix in the main interface, you can not see or edit what you have recorded.  Pro 2000 lets you edit where a particular track turns on or off.  Each track is displayed by a horizontal row.  In each row, a black bar with graphical waveform indicates the span that the track is turned on.  If you want to extend a track’s playing time, you can stretch the black bar by clicking and holding the left mouse button on the end of the bar and dragging to the desired length.  The time line is infinite.  If you want to remove a playing bar, click on the end of the bar and drag it over top to its other end.  This editing process makes it easier to “fine-tune” your recording rather than re-record.  Though you can use Pro 2000 to mix tracks, it is rather difficult to create music by laying bars in a sequence than simply using your ears.


Color Scheme

Color Schemes

Each of the interfaces in Beat 2000 offers 4 different color schemes.  You can choose from “Industrial”, “Toy”, “Classic”, or “Disco” color schemes.

To change color scheme in Beat 2000 or Pro 2000,

•	Click on the Beat 2000 icon at the top left corner of the window, or press the Alt key proceeded by arrow down key

•	Select Preferences in the system menu.

•	Select the color scheme you want

0	To change color scheme in Drumatik,

•	Select Preferences in File menu

•	Select the color scheme you want


Loading a song (Beat 2000)

Loading a song

A song layout is a group of tracks (1 to 20), along with properties such as tempo, song title, and author name.

In the main interface

•	Click on Files button

•	A selection dialog box will appear, choose Load Song

•	The extension of Beat 2000 songs is “b2”. All the songs are in the CD “Songs” directory. You can select any of them in this directory.

•	Once loaded, the track button lights will be red.  Any grayed light indicates that there is no music sample loaded into that track.

0	Notes:

•	In the “Songs” directory, there are two sub-directory, “22M” and “44”. Both directories contain the same songs but saved in different format. In the “22M” directory, all songs are saved in 22 kHz 16 bit mono. In the “44” directory, all songs are saved in 44 kHz 16 bit stereo. You should load up the song in the “22M” since the file size is a lot smaller than the one in the “44” directory. The songs in the “44” directory are provided in case that you want to create the music in CD quality.


Playing your song

Using Keyboard

1	2	3	4	5

Q	W	E	R	T

A	S	D	F	G

Z	X	C	V	B

After you have opened a song or successfully created your own song, you are ready to mix the tracks and create your own song.  To play a track, you can click on the channel button or use the keyboard keys.  Just click on a track button and you will hear the track play repeatedly.  Clicking the track button again toggles the track on and off.  Select another track and you will hear that track mixed with the first track.  All tracks play for a set interval before they loop (dependent on the tempo you set).  Often, you will want to time the start of a track precisely at the beginning of the loop cycle.  This can be done by pressing and holding the CTRL key and the track button simultaneously.  You will see the light flash red indicating the track will start to play at the next loop interval.  Holding CTRL and pressing a track that is already turned on (green light) will cause the light to flash, and the track will turn off at the next loop interval.  Now you can control more of the timing when you introduce a track.  Turning tracks on and off at other times(at the middle of the loop cycle for example) will require that you develop a sense of the rhythm and beats.  Your mix will sound better if you time yourself with the beat.


Creating a new song

In the main interface,

•	Click on Files button

•	Select New Song

•	Fill in the properties and tempo setting (compulsory, Beat 2000 will calculate the tempo when you load the first track)

•	Now you can insert your own tracks


Tempo Definition
The definition of tempo is the number of beats per minute. In Beat 2000, the tempo is used to determine the length of each music loop. Each music loop should be in either 1 bar (4 quarter notes) or 2 bars (8 quarter notes) or 4 bars (16 quarter notes). If a track is imported in Beat 2000 that does not conform to one of these lengths, it will either be truncated or padded to fit the length. So, the tempo value determines the length of a track that you imported. If you don’t want to worry about these details, please use the following equation to calculate the tempo: Tempo = 240 divided by (length of the shortest track in seconds).  If the shortest track is in 2 seconds, the tempo is 120 and you can import 2 seconds, 4 seconds and 8 seconds into Beat 2000 and others will be cropped or padded to fit the length. Beat 2000 accepts any tempo in range 80 to 240. Therefore, the shortest track should be within 1 second and 3 seconds.


Calculating the Tempo

To calculate the tempo of a sound file, use equation

Tempo = 240 /length of sound in seconds


Insert a track(Beat 2000)

Insert a track

You can either load a track in the main interface or Pro2000.  A track can be Windows WAV files, Sun AU files, or Mac AIFF files.

•	Have a tune in minc and you want to record it now?  Click on the record button (the button with a circle on it).  As soon as you see a “Recording….” message, begin your song by turning tracks on and off.  If you want your recording to be affected by volume and panning, simply adjust the individual control knobs during recording.  Any control that affects the recording stream will be recorded, including master volume, individual volume and panning.  Once you are done, click on the stop button (square).  To hear your recording, click play button (triangle).


Saving a song

After recording and editing your song, you probably want to save it so that you can listen to it later. In order to save a song,

•	Click on the File button.

•	Click on the Save Song As button in the File dialog box.

•	Edit the name of the output file, select the output format and options and click the Save button.

0	There are two output formats available. They are Beat 2000 song (“b2”) and Microsoft® wave format. The Beat 2000 song format is the default saving format. It allows you to reload the song later into Beat 2000. Unlike the Beat 2000 song format, you cannot reload a song that is saved in wave format. However, there are a lot of applications that support wave format.

1	The Options button allows you to set the wave format of the waveform data in the wave file or the Beat 2000 song file.

2	The Save Mixing Data Only check box allows you to save the Beat 2000 song without saving any waveform data into the file. The data saved is the volume/panning setting, your recording, etc. Without the waveform data, the file size of a Beat 2000 song is significantly smaller. In order to load a song with only the mixing data, you have to first load the original song and then load the file with the Load Mixing Data Only check box checked in the Load Song dialog box.


Editing a recording(Beat 2000)

Editing a recording

Once you are done recording and ready for fine tuning, click on the Pro 2000 button.  You will see all your tracks down the left column and you will notice black bars with graphical waveforms in their rows.  These black bars indicate where the track gets played.  You can modify these playing bars by clicking and dragging their ends to the length you want.  If you want to remove a playing bar, click and drag one end of the bar to the other.  The time line of the track is infinite.

If you want edit the song volume and panning setting, just play the song in the Beat 2000 interface. You can still adjust the individual track volume and panning setting during playback. The changes are automatically recorded.


DRUMATIK

DRUMatik is a utility to create tracks compatible for use with Beat 2000.


Bar Definition
In DRUMatik, a 1 bar length means the track can have a maximum of 8 notes selected.  A  4 bars clip can have all 32 notes selectable.  The time length of a 1 bar track is dependent on the tempo setting.  By default, a 1 bar clip has 2 seconds duration, 2 bars has 4 seconds duration and 4 bars has 8 seconds duration.

FAQ

Frequent Asked Questions

Why can’t I record from CD, or microphone?

Most sound cards come with multiple input sources which you can record sound from. These may include microphone, CD, auxiliary, MIDI and line inputs.  Make sure you have selected a desired device (also known as input source). These cards come with software that allows you to pick which device is the input source. You will need to refer to your sound card manual to determine how to set the input source.

You can also select your input source by double clicking on the volume control icon on the Windows® 95 taskbar. Click on File and then Select properties. Click Recording and choose your input device by checking the select box for your input source.

In Beat 2000, how do I set playback to 44kHz, 16bit stereo?

You can change the sampling rate, channel, and size by clicking the Beat 2000 icon (top left corner) or press ALT followed by arrow down key.  Select Preference, choose the playback format you want.

How do I Calculate the tempo for the layout?

Tempo = 240 / (length of the shortest track in seconds)


Troubleshooting

Beat 2000 reports “Unable to capture wave device.”

•	Another application is using your sound card.  Close the application currently controlling your sound card.

Beat 2000 runs slowly

•	Please check whether your system meet the minimum requirements.

•	Since Windows® 95 is a multitasking environment, any applications that are running may use some of your system resources. So, close all unnecessary applications may speed up the game.

•	Beat 2000 uses a component called DirectX from Microsoft. DirectX requires DirectX supported video card and sound card drivers to run optimally. Although the DirectX component has a lot of popular drivers. It doesn’t have everything. Please check whether your system has DirectX supported drivers.

0	Beat 2000 music play back choppy

•	Beat 2000 music data must always reside in system memory in order to perform optimally. There are several reasons that the music data cannot be reside in system memory.

•	Other applications are running and they are actively doing some processing.

Solution: Close all unused applications and stop all the background processing. (e.g. recalculation of a spreadsheet, finding a file from explorer, etc.)

•	Play back format is set too high that the music data is using a lot of memory. If the play back format is set at the highest quality (44kHz 16bit stereo), the music data may occupied up to 20 MB or more. Computers that have 16 MB (or sometimes 32 MB) cannot play the song properly.

Solution: Set the playback format a little bit lower. Normally, playback format should be set at 22kHz 16 bit stereo and check the Mono Source Only check box. Most computers can play Beat 2000 song properly in this setting.

0	Cannot run the setup program

•	It happens if you did not use the uninstall program to uninstall Beat 2000 and click on the Install button in the Beat 2000 opening window. You can run the setup program by the following way:

•	Click on Start button in the task bar. Click on Run. Type d:\ setup.exe where d is your CD-ROM drive letter. Click on OK.

DirectX installation replaced original video drivers

•	DirectX installation always tries to attempt to update your video and audio drivers with the latest version. However, updating the video driver may disable your video card specific utilities. If you want to keep the utilities, please either obtain the latest video driver from the manufacturer, or go to the CD “\Beat2000\directX” directory and run “dsetup.exe” and then click on the restore video driver button.
