- Master Tracks Pro 4.6 Software Bonus Disk
-
- This Software Bonus Disk contains supplemental MCI Drivers, the Autodesk
- Animation Player and sample "QuikTunes" MIDI Files. When you run the
- Setup program on this disk, which installs the Animation Player and the
- MIDI files, use the same drive and directory that was used when Pro 4
- was installed. This would be C:\PRO4 unless you made a change. The MCI
- drivers are not installed by the Setup Program since they must be
- installed by using the "Drivers" applet in the Windows' Control Panel.
- Also, if you want to use the Autodesk Animation Player or MCI driver to
- play animations in the 320x200 full screen mode then you must add the
- following section to your WIN.INI file...
-
- [AAPLAY Animation]
- FullScreen=aavga.dll
-
- This will allow you to display animations in 320x200 full screen mode on
- most standard VGA display adapters.

- USING MCI DRIVERS AND COMMANDS
-
- This versions of Pro 4 allows you to embed MCI commands in your MIDI
- sequence. Using MCI can be very complex, as new devices and file formats
- are being supported every day. In general, however, a "driver" must be
- installed using the "Drivers" applet in the Windows 3.1 Control Panel to
- play MCI supported devices or files. Currently, the most common use for
- MCI in a MIDI sequencer is to play .WAV audio files via the MCI wave
- audio driver (this is installed when you install Windows 3.1 if you have
- a supported audio card installed). Also included with Windows 3.1 is an
- MCI driver for playing CD audio disks on supported CD-ROM drives.
-
- On this Bonus Disk, we have also included MCI drivers for playing
- Autodesk animation files, MacroMind Director style animation files
- (Microsoft Multimedia Movies) and Pioneer Videodisk players. To install
- these drivers choose "Add Unlisted or Updated Driver" from the "Drivers"
- applet in the Windows' Control Panel. Insert the Bonus Disk into the
- appropriate drive when prompted then click OK.
-
- The Bonus Disk also contains some sample animation files that can be
- played by using the Autodesk Animation Player or MCI driver. These are
- short sequences that are designed to be looped many times to achieve the
- desired effect. The easiest way to get these animations to loop when
- using MCI commands in Pro 4 is to first create an animation script file
- by using the Autodesk Animation Player and then play the animation script
- from Pro 4 using MCI commands.
-
- Using the MCI capabilities of Pro 4 is detailed in the appendix of the
- manual or in the addendum that came with this package.
-
- Passport would like to thank the Autodesk Corporation for allowing us to
- include the Autodesk Animation Player, MCI driver, DLL and sample files
- on this Bonus Disk.
