MESA II Tutorial 9
Tutorial
Application Made Easy to use
This simple Tutorial is written to provide a quick 'hands-on' overview of MESA II. It will
take about half an hour to work through. This chapter, by the way, is described on the
assumption of that the Macintosh and Sampler are connected without having any trouble,
and MESA II has been installed properly. For the set up of MESA II, refer to "Getting
Started" Chapter.
In particular, you will learn to
1. load MESA II;
2. connect to a Sampler;
3. load disk data into the memory of Sampler;
4. move sample data into your Mac;
5. edit a sample;
6. save a sample;
7. create a new program;
8. assign a single sample to a program;
9. create a more sophisticated program; and
10. save a program
Step 1: Starting MESA II
* Double click on the MESA II icon.
MESA II title appears. After loading the Editors and PlugIns, one or several MESA
windows will open up - MESA II opens up where it was Quit the last time.
You should see the menus File, Edit, Editors on the menu bar, and depending on which
Editor happens to be selected, some further menus such as Sampler/Windows (Sam-
pler Editor) or View/DSP (Audio Editor) will appear. For this tutorial, you need the
following three Editors installed: Audio Editor, Keyboard, and Sampler Editor. Check
that they are present under the Editors Menu.
Note that even when there are no windows open, one of the Editors will be active and
marked with a tick under the Editors Menu. On the menu bar, the Menu for this Editor
is shown.
Step 2: Connecting to a Sampler
* Select the Sampler Editor from the Editors Menu, and select "Find Sampler..." from the
Sampler Menu.
Depending on whether you use OMS or SCSI for communicating with your Sampler,
one of the two message boxes will appear.
When SCSI is used;
* Select your Sampler's SCSI ID (default 6) and click OK.
If you selected a wrong SCSI ID, hold down the keys "Command + .(Period)" to undo
