Playlist

The Playlist is an easy way to organize a complete set or an entire evening's worth of music. Title, artist, BPM value and playtime of audio file are displayed in the playlist. The blue bar selects an audio file. All playlists can be stored as playlist files (.LST). Stored playlists are compatible with BPM Studio Professional. Basically there are 3 possibilities to insert audio files into a playlist: using context menu directly from your hard disk (Load.), using 'drag and drop' of Windows Explorer and using the button.
The other following functions are at your disposal: [clear list] emptys playlist [load list] loads playlist [save list] saves playlist [+file] adds an audio file to playlist [-file] removes a title from the playlist [selall] selects all the titles of a list [filinf] opens File Info Box The lower right area of the playlist contains a status window and a monitor player These functions of the status window are accessible by a mouse click:

Sample Player

The sample player controls up to nine samples, which can be played immediately by pressing each respective button. The LED at the top, middle of the sample player indicates the current operating status of the sample player. Green indicates stand-by mode; red indicates that an audio file is currently being loaded into the sample player. The sample player has new number keys, each of which can support a sample of up to 20 (isn't it 30 seconds?) seconds in length. If a key is covered, the figure in it seems to be underlined. By activating one of these keys, the sample is returned. If the SINGLE PLAY is deactivated in the context menu, several samples can be played simultaneously. There are 2 different Play modes. In Start/stop mode, a key starts play of samples and pressing again finishes action (On/Off). In SCRATCH mode, the sample starts by any action always from the beginning. Pressing 0 key on the keyboard or using SET key can stop all samples. You can switch between both modes using SCRATCH MODE in context menu or with scroll key of the keyboard. You can with the volume regulator of the sample players adjust sample volume of reproduction irrespective of two Players. With the PITCH regulator, you can change the speed of sample play stepless. Clicking with the right mouse button on the regulator, you can arrive at zero position again. With both keys and you can assign
output of sample players to Player A or Player B. It is necessary only if sample player has not own sound cart channel or only two output channels are at your disposal (according to configuration of software and hardware of your system). During use of both players through one sound card, these two keys are without importance.
Using context menu you can activate the Loop function of the sample player, which continuously loops a sample until the number of that sample is again pressed. Clicking the right mouse button on any key from to menu of the Sample Player. will open context

Sample Player, File Info Box
Work with samples and keys attributes
There are two possibilities to assign any key with a sample: using the context menu or by 'drag and drop' from the playlist. If a file exceeds the acceptable length of 20 seconds (30 seconds?), it is limited to that length automatically when loaded.

Program Options

The main program setup can be accessed using any of the OPTIONS within the context menu. It is divided into seven different areas, found on four separate options tabs.
Preferences - language and skin:
Language Pack: Choose your preferred language here. Skin Pack: Choose from any skin here. All skins are compatible with this version of BPM Studio are shown on the list, which is installed in the.\BPM Studio\Skins\ folder. New or updated skins can be downloaded from the ALCATech website.

Pitch Range

Assigns maximum pitch value to the Pitch field slider. This value will be manipulated by one of three Pitch field keys (see also page 11 / Player)

Scratch mode: If this option is activated (you'll see small hook in front of the record), then pressing again of the same key will not stop sample, but will play again from the beginning. Using this option you can for example synchronize a sample with Beat to play several times.
You can adjust the volume of Sample Player using [VOLUME] regulator. Also the speed of Sample Player (Pitch) is easy to set:
The configuration of the Sample Player: The BPM Studio allows output of single devices to different channels of sound cards. If not enough number of channels are at disposal on your PC, you can use Sample Player on both channels of Player A and B with. In the program options, index card of Audio I/O, for Sample Player will setup the same channel as for Player A. During work of BPM Studio is possible to choose by assigned keys and if output should result
together with the Player A or B. Please, pay attention that samples need some seconds to be loaded. Sampler-LED will indicate it too. As soon as this indicator lights in green the Sampler will be ready to work again.
How are the Playlists used?
The BPM studio stores title sequences as a playlist below at both players. You can change this list as you wish. You can add title, erase, and change order of titles or store whole list for further use later. In this case only information of title is stored, the MP3 files stay without change on their place. Add title to playlist this way: 1.) Click on below to the left of playlist. It Store playlist this way: Click on. It opens an Explorer window
where you can place and name folder to stored playlist. When you click OK, the list is stored under the given name. Load playliste this way: Click on. It opens an Explorer window
opens an Explorer window where will be displayed folder list of your hard disk. 2.) Choose added MP3 files to insert and confirm with OK. Now, chosen titles are inserted into playlist.
where you can search and load stored BPM Studio playlists (.pls) and also change playlists of another size as for example Winamp's playlists. List loaded before will be replaced.
You can also take title of Explorer window into playlist of BPM Studio directly by 'drag & drop'.
How can I change the title information?
The BPM Studio offers comfortable possibilities to manage information that is stored with every title. This information is stored in ID3-Tag of that file and in playlist's files (.pls). Using File Info Box you can read and change all these datas. 1.) Indicate with the mouse a title to change 2.) Choose "info" point using right mouse button / context menu. Alternatively you can also use key. 3.) The File Info Box will be shown as follow: If you choose several files in playlist and open the File Info Box, a small check box appears next to every record. If it is chosen the corresponding field of all chosen titles are changed simultaneously. It is recommended to attribute for example several titles of similar music type or album title. Now, here will be displayed all data information contained in ID3-Tag. If you wanted to change any register just enter new text and confirm with OK. Then, entered data will be updated in ID3Tag and also in playlist. Complete path to the MP3 file is displayed to the right next to BPM field. If there is not enough place you can indicate with mouse complete path as tool tip.

Glossary

Application Software programs that perform different tasks that otherwise wouldn't be accomplished by an operating system itself. Examples of such applications are: a text-editing program such as Microsoft WORD, a bookkeeping program and BPM Studio. ASF Abbreviation for Advanced Streaming Format. It is a streaming format for files developed by Microsoft. Beat A repeating sound that defines speed and tempo of a title and is normally produced by an instrument such as a drum for example. Bit A Bit is the smallest unit for binary data. With a Bit exactly two different states (0 and 1) are representable. (Bit = binary digit). A Bit is also a position in the dual system. Most of the PCs and also the modern information technology are based on this numerical system. Bit Rate The bit rate is a measure for the transmission speed of binary information. The scale unit for the bit rate is bps (bits per second, number of transmitted bits at one second). The maximal bit rate of a connection is also named as "bandwidth". As greather the bandwidth, as bigger is the transmission speed. Some standard bit rates are e.g.: 96 Kbit, 128 Kbit, 196 Kbit, 244 Kbit. As higher bit rates allow to transfer more information a better sound quality is obtainable. But a higher bit rate is always associated with a higher demand on memory space, as you have to store more information as well. Buffer A memory space where data is held temporarily before final treatment. BPM Studio loads the title from the hard disk into the buffer for a few seconds and then uncompresses it before the sound card receives it. Thanks to this action, no lockups or other malfunctions occur. Configuration "To configure" means to adapt the hardware and software to meet your own needs. BPM Studio has a lot of possible different configurations in the program options context menu. Please, read the program options section in this manual for a detailed description of each selection. Constant Bit Rate It means simply that the bit rate is not changed during the copying or encoding. (See VBR also Variable Bit Rate) Cue A cue is a position within a title that the player recognizes as a beginning point. BPM Studio makes it possible to set up different Cue-Points for a title. You can also start playing within a title from this place. Cursor Symbol which shows on the monitor the position of the next input. The traditionally cursor (e.g. at a DOS operating system) was displayed as a simply, blinking underline. Since the era of grafical user interfaces and operating sytems the cursor can change its design in accordance with its function. Desktop The desktop or the background is what you see on your computer monitor before you start any other programs. This is the place where you start to work with other programs or files that you may open.

Glossary Dialogue box The Dialog box is a window that you can use to communicate with the computer or application. Dialog boxes give you information on the progress of a working application and offer you the option to put that information to the use in the application. For example BPM Studio will show the program options as a dialog box. Directory A directory is an area on the hard disk designated for storage for data files and other directories. As an example, you would store all of your music titles in a directory. Driver A driver is a program that determines how a computer will communicate with a peripheral device such as a sound card or video card. The manufacturers of the peripherals create the drivers. We recommend always visiting the manufacturer homepage of your sound card and other peripherals to find the newest information about their drivers. Dynamics Dynamics (or dynamic volume) in regard to sound is a range between the smallest and the greatest value of volume (the softest and the loudest position). If the possibility to copy or play silence or loudness is greater, then greater the dynamics will be. It is also valid in the same way in the recording of audio signals. Encode, Encoder, Encoding To encode (code) means to transfer messages or files into an encrypted form. Code is a system of rules that is applied to transform a message into an impossible form so that it can only be read by authorized persons (normally to keep a message in secrecy). Another way to encode is by decreasing the number of determined rules used by an application with regards to huge data transfer without a considerable loss of content. MP3 files are created as audio files by using an audio Codec that holds only a fraction of the original size of the file. The reading of AUDIO CDs
is also called 'ripping'. In this process, titles are copied from the CD as WAVE files to the hard disk. Then, an encoder will read these files and transform them into MP3 FORMAT. BPM Studio also offers the option to encode the CDs into MP3 format immediately during reading ('ripping'). You can activate that option (rip and encode) in the program options - > option CDDA. Encryption Data translation into an appropriate code to protect information against unauthorized use by other persons. To be able to read coded files, you must to have access to a code (or to a password) that authorizes you to decipher the coded information. File Data collection (based on an application or program) of a determined type put on a computer, on floppy disks, on CD etc. Each file is stored under an attributed name so that it's quick to find for later use. Format This is the preparation of a data medium (for example: a hard disk) to store files. This is usually done during the first installation of an operating system on a hard disk. It is also done to any additional hard disk in a PC. Format is a word that determines arrangement based on rules. For example, there are left hand and right hand text formats and there are determined audio file formats like WAVE, MP2 and MP3. Icon A small image on the Desktop that symbolizes or represents a program or file. You can see examples of different icons on your Desktop. Normally, they are arranged on left side of the screen as 'Recycle Bin', 'My Computer', and 'My Documents'. They are also called 'shortcut icons'. Programs associated with an icon will start by double clicking on the icon.
