Manual for Music Design ‘2000’, James Edwards’ keyboard synthesizer program for the TS2068, © 1987 Arrow Software and distributed exclusively by RMG Enterprises of Oregon City, Oregon. Four typed pages cover the features, loading and saving, the main menu and how to play and record a song, followed by a pull-out keyboard reference guide and a copy of the program’s main screen.
The features page lists rhythm and solo played together from the keyboard, recording and saving songs, full playback, five preset rhythms, control of the rhythm’s tempo and duration and of the solo’s volume, and an on-screen display during play. The load-and-save page explains the demonstration song in memory, the hidden save menu (key 0), and the changes to BASIC lines 20, 110 and 120 for the AERCO disk system or the A&J microdrive. The playing section lists the set-up keys (T for the beat – Country, Waltz, Rock 1, Rock 2 or Latin – A/Z for solo volume, S/X for tempo and D/C for duration) and the six record and playback options. The reference guide shows a piano keyboard with the letter key for each solo note and the number keys 1–0 for the rhythm chords C to B.
