Volume III consists of five high resolution (1280x960, millions of colors) Desktop images by renowned artist Rick Buck, and represent the artist's best digital work to date. The images scale well to virtually any screen size, and while they definitely look best at millions or thousands of colors, most are "acceptable" with as few as 256 colors. These are some of the most gorgeous Desktop pictures we've seen anywhere, if we do say so ourselves. =) This package contains preview images of the set (640x480, slightly lower quality, and "watermarked"). When you register (through Kagi -- $10.00 for the set) you'll receive the full high resolution images, along with digital signatures for each image (see the enclosed documentation for details). With Volume III we've added the most asked for feature: the ability to register individual images in the Fantasyscapes series (including individual images from Volumes I and II). We'll also now provide a digital Certificate of Authenticity (for an additional fee) with your purchase, and have added the option of purchasing a lifetime subscription to the Fantasyscapes series (for those who asked). Details and a complete price list are in the catalog included in this package. Fantasyscapes Volume III is brought to you by Shepherd's Pi Software (the Gumshoe folks). You can visit us on the Web at or email us at . Fantasyscapes Volume III is also available for download from . -Shepherd's Pi Software.

It allows you to select and edit the presets in the MPX 100 remotely from your Apple Macintosh computer. The Editor always shows you exactly what's going on in the MPX 100 by adding information that is only found in the MPX 100 Users Guide to the user interface. You will no longer have to look in the MPX 100 User Guide to find out if variation 5 is a medium plate reverb or a large plate reverb or whether the adjust knob is controlling the delay time or feedback. This is accomplished by the MPX 100 Editor's unique labeling system. The MPX 100 Editor also allows you to send (via midi) User Presets, Full User Bank bulk dumps and System Mode Setup bulk dumps from the MPX 100 to the editor software for storage on your hard drive as a User Preset File. This file can be opened at a later date with the editor software and be sent via midi back to the MPX 100 for recall of saved Individual User Presets, User Banks and/or System Mode Setups. The software also allows you to store your favorite User Presets in the MPX 100 Editor software which will be there each time you open the editor. The MPX 100 Editor sofware also includes extensive Tap editing functions and labels. The Tap function on the MPX 100 can be controlled by tapping the space bar on the computer keyboard, clicking the editor's Tap button with the mouse or by sending beat clock to the MPX 100 using the editor's Beat Clock Generator. The parameter that the Tap is controlling is shown clearly in a label in the MPX 100 Editor. Included in the MPX 100 Editor is The Sound Player, which will allow you to play a sound using the Mac's built in sound outputs. The sound can be played once, as a loop or by the editors built in metronome. You can choose any one of the Sound Player's 13 built in sounds which include snare, kick, bass, organ, voice, piano and more. The Sound Player is useful for auditioning the changes you make while editing a Preset using the MPX 100 editor. Of course the MPX 100 Editor software has an extensive built in help system which will give you information on every button, popup menu, label, light, slider and menu item found in the MPX 100 Editor software. People who use the MPX 100 Effects Processor will find the MPX 100 Editor a very useful, time saving , intuitive tool. This MPX 100 Editor software is a demo. The Demo version of the MPX 100 Editor is the complete version except for two differences. One is that it can't "Save User Preset Files" or "Save Preference Files." The other difference is that the program automatically quits after five minutes, making you restart it again for another five minute trial period. -- Jon Witte - Music Machine Studio http://www2.cybernex.net/~jonwitte/ [Archived as /info-mac/gst/midi/mpx-100-editor-demo-45.hqx; 2686K] ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 28 Jun 1999 00:36:32 -0700 From: ellipse@kagi.com Subject: [*] SimpleImage 2.5.1 SimpleImage is a simple but powerful image- and movie-viewing application that lets you view all the most popular image and movie formats, like JPEG, GIF, animated GIF, TIFF, PICT, PNG, MPEG, AVI and more in a single, sleek application.

After a bit of searching, I failed to find a simple, no-frills application capable of presenting graphic files in a sequential slideshow, which did nothing else. I had always meant to sit down and learn how to use RealBasic anyway, so I figured this was my opportunity. Except for a few minor glitches and quirks, everything went rather well. SimpleSlide is the result. It does slideshows. ThatThere are a few options, but only a few. You give it a folder, it scans it and all subfolders for GIF, TIFF, PICT or JPEG files, and then it flashes them on the screen one after another until you ask it to stop, your computer explodes, or the world ends.

Its software acceleration compensates for sub-optimal disk performance to make extensions, control panels, the Finder and startup apps load faster. *Zap through all those startup icons! *Save time each time you startup your Mac! *Startup your Powerbook faster at airports (and everywhere else!) *Works on any Mac running System 7.0 to Mac OS 8.6 *Savings depend on the specifics of each Mac setup: slower Macs will benefit the most! Those seconds spent waiting really add up: Startup Doubler usually makes startups 20% to 50% faster, depending on the performance of your startup disk and the number of Extensions, Control Panels and Startup Items in your System! Startup Doubler 2.0 features a new acceleration method designed to improve upon version 1.2.1's performance. Depending on conditions, it may be up to about 30% faster, which makes it the fastest startup acceleration solution available today! This new version also makes startup apps load faster, improves times with Virtual Memory, actively supports multiple Extension Sets, is able to accelerate even after crashes and disk switches that stumped previous versions, supports Mac OS 8.6, and more! It is free to registered users of previous versions. Tests with Speed Startup 1.0 show its performance to be close to that of Startup Doubler 1.2.1, but not as fast as Startup Doubler 2.0.
