     This CUBASE version 2.01 is compatible with the ATARI MEGA STE; 
     it can be run both in 8 and 16 Megahertz operating modes, but it is 
     absolutely necessary to disable the cache!

     I. Synchronizing with MROS 2.15

     Cycle can now be switched without stop in Cubase. Note that this 
     probably will not work with other MROS realtime programs (Tentrax, 
     DDD etc) which use cycle mode. These should use MROS 2.10. 

     It does not affect synth/sample editors. 

     It has been found that there is a different SMPTE offset between 
     SMP24 and MIDEX+. You will have to change the SMPTE Start Time 
     when you want to use MIDEX+ for a production made with the 
     SMP24 and vice versa.

     Here is a table which shows how to set the SMPTE Start Time for 
     productions that you already have on tape. You will only need to 
     adjust the time if you have already recorded something, for new 
     productions you can set the SMPTE Start Time as usual (all examples 
     related to 25 frames). 

     

     1. If you recorded with MROS 2.11 (using the same device) subtract 
     40 subframes:

     Start Time was: 00:01:00:00:00

     set to:          00:00:59:24:40 

     2. If you recorded with MIDEX+ and want to use SMP24 or 
     TIMELOCK with that tape add 100 subframes (1 frame + 20 
     subframes):

     Start Time for MIDEX+ :    00:01:00:00:00

     for SMP24 or TIMELOCK :  00:01:00:01:20 

     3. If you recorded with SMP24 or TIMELOCK and want to use that 
     tape with MIDEX+ subtract 100 subframes (1 frame + 20 subframes):

     Start Time for SMP24 or TIMELOCK: 00:01:00:00:00

     for MIDEX+:                        00:00:59:23:60 

     

     Proper MTC similar to MIDEX+.

     

     

     II. SWITCHER 3.03   

     With STEINBERG programs like CUBASE, CUBEAT, PRO24,   

     SYNTHWORKS, AVALON, MIMIX etc it doesn't matter in which order 
     you plug in the keys in the MIDEX - slots because the keys are 
     recognized by the SWITCHER automatically.

     However, when using the SWITCHER and MIDEX with 
     NON-STEINBERG products the Function- keys are now related to the 
     corresponding MIDEX - slots:

                       F 1  .... MIDEX - Slot 1   

                       F 2  .... MIDEX - Slot 2   

                       F 3  .... MIDEX - Slot 3   

                       F 4  .... MIDEX - Slot 4   

                       F 5  .... MIDEX - Slot 1   

                       F 6  .... MIDEX - Slot 2   

                       etc.  

     

     If you don`t want to use the SWITCHER take the

     

     

     III. KEYSLOT - Accessory    

     ( KEYSLOT.ACC, installing with INSTALL.PRG )    

     by clicking on "NEXT SLOT" ( "DESK" Menu ) you can switch 
     between the MIDEX - slots.

     

     

     IV. Which driver should I use for my printer?

     Here is a list of different printers and their corresponding printer - 
     drivers:

     (Drivers ending with an "s", e.g. SL- 80 IPS, are used for Cut Sheets)

              Atari Laser  ... ATARI folder (SLM 804)

              Brother  ... BROTHER folder

              C. Itoh  ... IBM folder

              Canon  ... IBM folder

              Centronics  ... IBM folder

              Citizen  ... EPSON folder (EPSON FX/LQ)

              Dataproducts  ... IBM folder

              Epson  ... EPSON folder (EPSON FX/LQ)

              HP Desk/ Laserjet  ... HP folder

              IBM  ... IBM folder

              Kyocera  ... HP folder

              NEC  ... NEC folder (NEC P6)

              Panasonic  ... EPSON folder (EPSON FX/LQ)

              Schneider  ... IBM folder

              Seikosha  ... SEIKOSHA folder (SL 80IP, SL 92)

              Star  ... EPSON folder (EPSON FX/LQ)

              Taxan  ... IBM folder

           

     

     

     Please note that it is very important to set the paperwidth (margins ) 
     correctly to get the best printout.

     Hint: a Printer -Spooler lets you increase the printout speed by a 
     factor of two.

     

     

     V. Additional Score- Symbols are Repeats, Double bar line and 
     Change Clefs.

     

     

     VI. MIDI MANAGER

     Object Definition Box: by pressing ALTERNATE and changing a value, 
     e.g. choosing a differnt OUTPUT, you can alter this value in all or all 
     selected objects when the box is closed with "OK".

     

     

     VII. Using BIGSCREEN Monitors:

     When a Bigscreen Monitor is connected and CUBASE is loading, there 
     will be a box that displays a VDI or a QUICK driver. Depending on 
     the monitor you use, check out which driver will run with CUBASE.

     QUICK is only for monochrome monitors.

     The monitors MATRIX M110 and ATARI SM 194 use the QUICK driver.

     Score printout is only possible with monochrome monitors.

     If you are using the VDI driver you have to copy the contents of 
     the GDOS folder (on CUBASE PRG disk) and the FONTS folder ( Disk 
     II ) onto your BOOT disk.

     If GDOS is already in use you have to add the necessary Fonts to 
     the existing ASSIGN.SYS. CUBASE uses all Fonts that are listed in the 
     ASSIGN.SYS file.

     

     

     VIII. IPS:

     A useful feature called "M.ROS-IN from Cubase" which is not 
     described in the manual can be found on the FUNCTIONS- menu in 
     the IPS window. When this item is ticked you can directly use a 
     track from the Arrange window as a MIDI Input in the IPS . 

     

     Please select "MROS" as Output for this track. (The output setting for 
     a track can be set in the respective column right of the MIDI 
     channel. After booting, this is normally set to "ATARI" ) Activate the 
     IPS and start the sequencer.  The music on the track is now sent to 
     the input of the IPS.

     For more details on the IPS please refer to the manual.
