Jacob Carstens>JamSynth>Installation

The zip archive contains:

• JamSynth.jar - the java package containing the program files (java classes)
• Installation.html - this help file
• RunJamSynth.bat - a windows batch file, for running the program.

To install:

This is a cross-platform java-program, so no platform-dependent installers (such as Windows-executable files) are included.

To run the program, you have to ensure that your system is Java-enabled, and run the program using the Java-virtual machine you have installed. Confused? Here's some help:

• First of all, you need to get the latest version of Java. The program will not run unless you have at least Java JDK1.3 installed.
• When the JDK is installed you can run the program by running the main file of the package. This file is called SynthUI. So you need to type a command line like: Java -cp JamSynth.jar SynthUI
.
In MsWindows, the directory containing the java enterpreter (a file called java.exe) must be in the systems path. This should be automatically set, but to be certain, change the first line of the batch file (RunJamSynth.bat) to the correct path.
• When the program starts, you see a blue window. Choose new or open from the file-menu to start. Right-click on the window-background to add a component. Richt-click a component to connect / disconnect, Left-click to change parameters of the component. More help will be available in a later release
• Enjoy...
