Quickref

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

Summary Instructions for Notate 

Demonstration Version

Launch the application by clicking on the !Notate icon. Shortly the program will load on to the icon bar. A single click on the icon will open a window.

Dragging notes

Press and hold down select button over a note and then move the mouse. A copy of the note will move with the pointer. Move the note to the first bar in the music. Release the button when the note is in the correct position. The note should sound. Each note is checked as it is released to see if there is sufficient space in the bar.

Playing a tune

To play the music, click with select on the green "tape recorder" button.

Entering notes more quickly

Use adjust button instead of select when clicking over a note that is already in your music. Holding adjust and dragging will produce a copy of that note length.

Deleting notes

Click on the note to be deleted with select. Drag the note out of the writing area into the grey area at the top of the window and release it.

Other features

Many other features can be accessed by pressing Menu in the Notate window. A Choices option is available on the icon bar menu.

Loading songs

Load songs by double clicking on their icons or by dragging them to Notate.

Loading Voices

Voice modules are loaded by double clicking on their icons if they have not already been automatically loaded with one of the songs.

Changing Voices

The voices in a song may be changed by pressing f5 and then clicking with the Menu button in the window of each track. A list of available voices will be displayed. Load additional voices as explained above.

Some voices such as Drumkit1 for instance produce a different sound 
according to where a note is placed. The active notes for these "kits" are Middle C, D, E, F, G and A

Editing

Drag a highlight over a selected area of notes by clicking and dragging along the stave with the select button. The usual RISC-OS short cut keys (Ctrl-C etc) may now be used within the song or between one song and another.

The Mixer

Change the stereo "pan" with the top icon (Select and adjust to rotate left 
and right); change the volume level of each individual voice with the slider control; switch individual voices on and off with the buttons at the bottom.
