Making sure your Commodore 64 computer Is turned off,
insert the
MUSIC MACHINE cartridge, and turn on the
computer. A musical staff and the
·mode Indicators
should appear on the screen.
If
they do not, turn
off
the
computer, reinsert the cartridge and turn the computer on
again.
The
Indicators:
The number
to
the right of the message OCTAVE in·
dicates the starting octave of the playing keyboard. 'Mid·
die C' is the lowest note
in
octave
4.
The highest octave is
6, and the lowest octave is
1.
The symbol to the right
of
the message WAVEFORM in·
dicates the type of sound which will be produced. The
symbol shown is the shape
of
the sound waves. The
"
_f\_
" indicator, for example, is the sawtooth
waveform, which because
of
its
abrupt shape (not
smooth) gives a rather tinny sound.
The test next
to
the message EFFECT shows which
special effect (if any) is in operation
on
the notes played.
The number
to
the right of the message VOICES indicates
the number
of
voices which can
be
heard simultaneously.
For example, when in
"1"
voice mode,
if
a note is played,
the next note
will stop the first note, since only one voice
will be heard at a time. See the section on Selecting
Number
of
Voices.
