The QRS SyncAlong series music plays the piano and the audio using two of Petine’s sources. The audio of the original artist’s CD
sounds through powered speakers via the CD drive and the piano keys play from MIDI files located on the CompactFlash card.
With your first SyncAlong series order you will receive one CompactFlash card along with all of the original artist CDs ordered. This
CompactFlash card contains the piano music for ALL of the SyncAlong series CDs in production to-date. On all subsequent
SyncAlong CD orders you place, QRS will ship the original artist CDs ordered and one CDROM containing all of the update files
needed to keep Petine and the CompactFlash card up to date with new SyncAlong series releases.
Understanding How SyncAlong Series Music Works
Preparing Petine for SyncAlong Series Music
For the QRS SyncAlong CD to work properly in Petine the following three things must happen.
Petine must recognize the CD as QRS SyncAlong Series by locating it’s ID number in an index file embedded in Petine’s Internal
Source (demo.ima).
Petine must find the Access Code, in it’s memory, for the SyncAlong CD currently in the CD drive.
This code is located on the packing slip, next to the catalog number, that comes with each SyncAlong order.
The code is entered by the user, once for each CD title, and is stored in Petine’s memory.
Petine must find and access the MIDI files located on a CompactFlash card.
Update the demo.ima to insure that the latest SyncAlong index is installed.
See the CompactFlash Utilities or CD Drive Utilities sections of this manual for instructions.
1] Use the CompactFlash card or the CDROM that you received with your most recent SyncAlong order.
2] Go to the QRS website to download the current demo.ima file.
