The First Time You Use The SP-12 Librarian

The SP-12 Librarian assumes that you are using a 1 megahertz MIDI

interface attached to the Macintosh’s modem port, since this is the

most common configuration. If this describes your MIDI setup, you

may skip the remainder of this section.

Do the following steps to set up the SP-12 Librarian to work with your

MIDI setup:

1. If you have not already done so, double-click the “SP-12

Librarian” icon to start the program.

2. Select

Preferences

from the Edit menu.

3. Click the

MIDI Interface

icon on the left side of the window

4. Select the correct port by clicking the printer or modem icon.

This represents the serial port to which your MIDI interface is

attached.

5. Select the correct MIDI interface speed (.5 MHz, 1 MHz, or

2 MHz). Most MIDI interfaces operate at 1 MHz. If you are

unsure of your interface’s speed, contact the interface’s

manufacturer or the place where you purchased your interface.

5. Close the

Preferences

window. The SP-12 Librarian is now

ready to use. All settings are saved automatically, and will be

used each time you start the SP-12 Librarian.

Using The SP-12 Librarian With MultiFinder

The SP-12 Librarian works with Finder and MultiFinder (available on

Systems 5 and 6), providing your startup disk is equipped with

MultiFinder and your Macintosh has enough memory. If you are

uncertain about whether you have MultiFinder or not, ask your Apple

dealer. As a general rule, you need at least 2 megabytes of memory

(RAM) to make use of MultiFinder. For more information about

MultiFinder, please read the applicable section in your “Macintosh

Owner’s Guide.”

Using The SP-12 Librarian With System 7

SP-12 Librarian is System 7 compatible, although it does not support

Apple Events and does not offer Balloon Help.

Color Monitors and Multi-Monitor Setups

SP-12 Librarian runs on a Macintosh with any monitor (ie: black and

white, gray-scale, color, millions of colors, etc.) It also accommodates

setups that use two or more monitors.

How Much Memory Is Enough?

If you are running SP-12 Librarian under MultiFinder (System 5 and

6) or System 7, you can specify how much memory the librarian

should use. This feature is available in the

Get Info

window.

The SP-12 Librarian, when working with MultiFinder or System 7,

automatically reserves sufficient memory to run at peak performance

under most situations. If you want to change the amount of memory

the SP-12 Librarian uses (to allocate more memory to critical

applications such as your sequencer), do the following:

1. Quit all applications and return to The Finder.

2. From The Finder, click the SP-12 Librarian icon once.

3. Select the File menu’s

Get Info

command.

4. At the bottom of the info window, you will find an “Application

Memory Size” box if you are using System 5 or 6, or a

“Preferred Size” box if you are using System 7.

This is the actual amount of memory you are allowing the

SP-12 Librarian to consume. Set its value to desired amount,

as described below.

5. Click the info window’s close box, or select the File menu’s

command.

384k is enough memory to run the SP-12 Librarian at peak

performance with a large Sound Catalog file, and the maximum

number of open documents. Unless you have an unusually large

Sound Catalog, this will be enough.

256k will let you work with the maximum number of open documents,

and a Sound Catalog that has about 275 sounds. You will notice a

slight

decrease in performance.

180k will let you open a single sound file or sequence file at a time,

then load and save the SP-12’s data.
