MESA II Getting Started 3

* "Audio Filing" folder contains the AIFF plug and SD2 plug to translate

between different Audio files;

* "DSP" folder contains various Filters and general DSP plugs for Digital

Processing;

* SCSI and/or OMS MIDI files enabling MESA II to communicate with ex-

ternal devices.

Example Scripts

This folder contains MESA II script source code written using AppleScript.

MESA II is fully compatible with AppleScript and some useful scripts are provided.

Scripts do not have to be in "MESA Pouch" folder to run. However, you must first

compile and save the scripts as applications. If your Mac is set up for AppleScript, this

is very easy. See "AppleScript" Chapter in this manual.

OMS MIDI Stuff

In the "OMS (Open Music System) MIDI Stuff" folder, it contains the OMS plug-in to run

MIDI with OMS and MIDI Keyboard Editor file to play MIDI Notes on the keyboard

screen of the Mac. To install these into MESA II, move them into the Editors folder or

PlugIns folder.

Note: To run MIDI with OMS, MESA II requires OMS v 2 or later (version 2.2 is recom-

mended). For OMS availability, see "http://www.opcode.com" or contact your local

dealer. To run MESA II with SCSI, your Sampler must have a SCSI board installed (if

SCSI is an option).

Memory System Requirements and Set-Up

The following are required to run MESA II.

* Power Macintosh equipped with 68030/40 microprocessor

* Mac OS7. 1 or later (7.5 is recommended)

* 4MB (4000K) or more spare RAM memory (If no sample editing is being

done, it could run with about 2500K.)

* Display with 256 or more colors.

* Sound Manager v 3 or later (version 3.2 is recommended)

* Drag and drop functions

* AppleScript (if you run the script)

* OMS v 2 or later (version 2.2 or later is recommended) (not needed if

MESA II is used only with SCSI)

Deleting (or removing) unused PlugIns and Editors from "MESA Pouch" folder saves

RAM memory.

MESA II may not work correctly when virtual memory is on. If you experience trouble

while running MESA II with virtual memory turned on, turn it off. Turn RAM Doubler off

likewise.

AKAI Samplers S2800, S3000, S3200, and CD3000 must have operating system ver-

sion 2.0. The S2000, S3000XL, S3200XL, and CD3000XL must have operating sys-

tem version 1.5. To use MESA II in a SCSI environment, the SCSI board is required for

the system without SCSI board.

Useful AppleScript

file

Without conforming

to these require-

ments, MESA II may

still boot but may

cause unpredictable

behavior as low in

memory, call unsup-

ported function, etc.

Move the unneces-

sary files into the

MIDI stuff
