BETA TEST VERSION 1.8 SUPPLEMENT TO:

VERSION 2.0 ADDENDUM TO:

KURZWEIL 150 FOURIER SYNTHESIZER

SOUND MODELING PROGRAM VERSION 1.0 USER’S GUIDE

Rev. A

MARCH 23, 1989

This supplement describes the new features of Beta Test Version 1.8 of the Apple II Sound Modeling Program for the
Kurzweil 150 Fourier Synthesizer. Among these is a new version that will run properly on an Apple II-GS with a Passport
(or equivalent) MIDI interface card. In addition, some bugs in Version 1.7 have been fixed.

If you have an Apple II+, IIe, or IIc, please refer to the Version 2.0 Addendum first for instructions on installing .S.M.P. on
your particular computer. Please note that wherever in these instructions the underline character (_) appears in disk
filenames, you should type a minus sign (-) instead. Also, please substitute 1.8 for 2.0 when seen as part of a filename.

If you have an Apple II-GS, please read section 2.0 (Installation) in the Version 2.0 Addendum and then refer to Section 1 in
this supplement for II-GS specific installation instructions.

If you wish to install a screen print program, ignore Section 2.5 of the 2.0 Addendum and instead refer to Section 2 in this
Supplement. There are now more options for installing a screen print routine.

After getting .S.M.P. installed on your computer, you should read over the bound Version 1.0 manual in order to get started,
keeping in mind that some of the menus have changed slightly. When familiar with basic operations (or to resolve a
discrepancy in the 1.0 manual), read through the 2.0 Addendum for a discussion of the new features introduced by Version

1.7. Finally, check out Section 3 of this supplement for new Version 1.8 specific features. A few sounds were added to the
library; these are described in Section 4. If you are interested in joining an Additive Synthesis Special Interest Group, fill out
the questionnaire on the last page and return it.

1. APPLE II-GS INSTALLATION

If you have not already done so, please read Section 2.0 of the Version 2.0 Addendum which explains how the .S.M.P.
Distribution Disk is organized, how to make a backup copy of its label side, and why an installation procedure is
necessary anyway. Note that a 5 inch disk drive is needed to run S.M.P. on the II-GS and that it runs under Apple DOS 3.3,
rather than the more common PRODOS.

.S.M.P. 1.8 Manual Supplement 1 Rev. A 23-MAR-89

The Apple II-GS requires a different modification of .S.M.P. because its interrupt system is different. The MIDI Interface
Card needs to be in Slot 3, and it is desirable to use the mouse for positioning the graphics crosshair cursor rather than the
cursor keys or game paddles. The modified program files for an Apple II-GS are found on the backside of the distribution
disk. Use the following procedure to delete the Apple IIe modification from your working master and replace it with the
Apple II-GS modification. The procedure uses just one 5" disk drive so it is the same whether you have one or two 5" disk
drives.

1. Boot your working master and then press 9 to exit to BASIC.

2. Enter: DELETE SMP-IIE-1.8L

3. Enter: DELETE SMP-IIE-1.8H

4. Insert the distribution disk upside down and enter: LOAD HELLO-IIGS

5. Insert your working master and enter: SAVE SMP-HELLO

6. Enter: CALL -151 This enters the machine language monitor (.S.M.P. is written in machine language so that it will
fit into memory and run fast).

7. Insert the distribution disk upside down and enter: BLOAD SMP-IIGS-1.8L

8. Insert the working master and enter: BSAVE SMP-IIGS-1.8L.A$800,L$37FF

9. Insert the distribution disk upside down and enter: BLOAD SMP-IIGS-1.8H

10. Insert the working master and enter: BSAVE SMP-IIGS-1.8H,A$4000,L$5851

Your working master disk has now been modified to run properly on an Apple II-GS with Passport MIDI interface card in
Slot 3. If you wish to be able to print the screen on a dot-matrix (Apple Imagewriter or equivalent), go to Section 2 and read
the Apple II-GS paragraph. If you wish to change the MIDI interface slot (because you already have something plugged into
Slot 3), refer to Section 2.4 in the 2.0 Addendum. The filenames you will BLOAD and BSAVE in that procedure will be the
same as in steps 7-10 above. Please note that if using a slot other than 3, it will be necessary to "enable" the slot using the
Apple II-GS’s "control panel" function.

Installation is now complete and you may begin to use your working master. However you may wish to make a copy of your
working master first and use that so the installation procedure won’t ever have to be repeated. Be sure to read Section 3.1 in
this supplement which describes how to use the mouse to control the graphic crosshair cursor used in some S.M.P. functions.

2. INSTALLING A SCREENPRINT PROGRAM

.S.M.P. 1.8 has a provision for printing the high-resolution graphics screen at any time a menu selection is expected.
Pressing CONTROL and P together will trigger an attempt to print the screen. However due to the very wide variety of
printers commonly used with Apple II systems, a program separate from S.M.P. is used to do the actual printing. Thus
"installing" a print screen program amounts to ensuring that an appropriate screen print program is loaded into memory along
with .S.M.P.

Loading of the print program into memory is accomplished just before .S.M.P. itself is loaded by the "1" option of the initial
bootup screen. The default print program supplied on the label side of the .S.M.P. distribution disk actually just displays a
message to the effect that a print program needs to be installed. The backside of the distribution disk contains several print
programs configured for an Apple Imagewriter or equivalent connected to a serial interface. Read the descriptions of the
various print program files in Section 2.1 below and select the one that applies to you. Then follow the instructions in
Section 2.2 to copy the appropriate program from the distribution disk to your working master disk.

2.1 PRINT PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS

Each paragraph below gives a filename and description for each of the screen print programs available on the backside of the
distribution disk.

SMP-SCREENPRINT-IMGWRTR-GSPP This file is for an Apple Imagewriter connected to the Printer Port of an Apple
II-GS computer. The printer must be set up for DTR handshaking (using the "Handshake-In" pin in the 8-pin connector) and
the baud rate set by the control panel must match the printer. The control panel handshake options don’t matter to this
program.
