CHAPTER 1 Installation and Setup 22 • Set Courtesy accidentals to None. This is done in the Accidentals pane in the Template/Piece settings window. • If you use Windows NT/2000/XP, you can add a separate hard drive – not just a partition of your current hard drive – for the Windows swap files (refer to Windows documentation for details). There will be a noticable difference in speed in your Windows operations, and this benefits the performance of Igor Engraver as well. A less sophisticated yet useful method is to partition the hard drive and to put Igor Engraver and the Igor Engraver files there. • Free up your resources! Igor Engraver runs better if at at startup the computer resources are as high as possible. Refer to the Widows documentation for deatils, and keep in mind that Igor Engraver runs best if you reboot before running it. • Add more RAM to your computer – it’s generally the best investment you can do when it comes to computer speed. 1.5 System Requirements (Macintosh) You can run the Macintosh version of Igor Engraver on any PowerPC running MacOS 8.5 with at least 32 MB of free RAM, but a G3 or G4 with 64 MB of RAM or more is recommended. If you have the QuickTime synthesiser installed you do not need a MIDI device to use Igor Engraver. Please remember though that the quality of Igor Engraver’s unique playback feature depends greatly on the quality of the synthesiser you are using. 1.6 The Open Music System (Macintosh) On the Macintosh platform (only), Igor Engraver uses Open Music System (OMS) to manage all its MIDI traffic. OMS takes care of managing all MIDI event reading and writing, and allows synthesisers to be referenced by name and make, instead of anonymous port and channel numbers. OMS is a freeware utility written by Opcode, Inc. If you do not have OMS installed on your computer already, you can download it from www.opcode.com. Igor Engraver can run without OMS, but if it is not installed, music playback will not be possible.
23 CHAPTER 1 Installation and Setup 1.7 Installing Igor Engraver (Macintosh) The installation process of Igor Engraver is very simple: just run the installation program. Igor Engraver, the notation fonts, extensions, and other necessary files will be automatically installed (If you think you would rather use a step-by-step approach for the installation process, turn to 1.9 “A Step-By-Step Guide to Installing Igor Engraver (Macintosh)” on page 25). As you already know, you need to install OMS (preferably 2.3.8) and to configure your computer accordingly. You will also need to install QuickTime 3.0 or later to run Igor Engraver. (It does not matter in which order you install Igor Engraver, OMS, and QuickTime.) Acrobat Reader 4.0 or later is needed to read all of the fonts included in this manual. Acrobat Reader is available from www.adobe.com. Please note that QuickDraw GX must not be installed on your computer while working with Igor Engraver. Norton CrashGuard may occasionally cause Igor Engraver to not work properly or even to crash. If you experience this problem, please uninstall Norton CrashGuard and restart your computer. When the appropriate applications are installed, you are ready to run Igor Engraver. Double-click the Igor Engraver symbol and go! 1.8 Setting up Your Synthesisers (Macintosh) Igor Engraver assumes that you have configured your MIDI instruments in OMS Setup. If you have not already done so, you can enter OMS Setup from the OMS Setup… option of Igor Engraver’s Edit menu. It may be wise to disable the QuickTime synthesiser in OMS Setup if you are planning to use other devices, since you can otherwise get latency problems. You can also make changes to MIDI playback both in the MIDI submenu of Igor Engraver’s Edit menu, and in the Template/Piece settings window’s MIDI Output pane. (The Template/Piece settings window is also brought up from the Edit menu.) In order to make your synthesisers play back the music as naturally as possible Igor Engraver has a unique feature that adds a high level of realism to the music being played. This is achieved by using NoteHeads’ developed Synth Matrix
