[] Remarks o About the video display screen If an AVI file (a file containing motion video data) or a BMP file (a file containing still image data) with the same name as the MIDI file is placed in the same folder as the MIDI file, the motion video or still image will be automatically loaded and displayed in the screen when the MIDI file is played back. If there is no AVI file or BMP file with the same name as the MIDI file, the DEFAULT.AVI or DEFAULT.BMP file found in the same folder as CSMIXER.EXT will be displayed. Sample files are included, but you may provide your own favorite AVI file or BMP file, and click the display screen. A popup menu will appear, allowing you to specify the AVI or BMP file. * The maximum size of the BMP file is 320 x 240 dots. o About the voice list file The list of voices (sounds) which is displayed by the voice select button is determined by the voice list file. The voice list will switch between XG format or GM depending on the MIDI file. The voice list file is specified by the CSMIXER.INI file which is created in the Windows folder. By default, it contains the following settings. [XG VOICE] PATCH=mu50.txt [GM VOICE] PATCH=gm.txt The XG format uses the MU50 voice list. If you are using an MU80, modify the file to change the line "mu50.txt" to "mu80.txt". This will cause the MU80 voice list to be displayed.
