Jill & I just wanted to say Thank You So Much for your help. Your idea of running the Midi Files seperately was something that took us in a totally different direction. (One that we probably wouldn't have even thought of!) Here is what the finished product looks like:
Personally I like the hardcopy book for reading and learning and my preference is the spiral binder format of Alice's API book; it lays flat and/or stays open when I have to prop it up.
I use the free software 'GIMP' but you can use Photoshop or PaintShopPro. Paint is a bit limited. I create the first profile key as say a 60x40 bmp. Save as key1. Then flip vertically & choose back-of-key colour and fill it. Save as key5. Key 3 and key 7 are just horizontal rectangles suitably colour filled. I goy keys 2, 4, 6, 8 by selecting the area of the key and scaling it vertically only by 60%, then filling in the gaps. The eight separate bmps of this version are available as www.diga.me.uk/keyj1.bmp (etc for keyj2,3,...)
What program can i use to flip/rotate the keys like the ones in the zip file that i downloaded. key1-key7. or is there another way to make the key look like it is rotating. Many thanks for your help. BTW i'm also trying to learn SPRITES! Once again Thanks everyone.
Hey Noble If she won't buy it for you, buy it for her!
I bought a downrigger as a christmas present for my Ex one year. The thing fit my boat perfectly and the jade pendant it was hiding almost salved her anger.
On second thought, you would probably do better by doing some extra chores around the house and hope she gets it for you...
There is nothing wrong with installing a 32-bit O/S on a 64-bit capable processor either.
Thanks for clarifying that, I didn't think it would cause a problem, considering I've been using this computer for a couple years, but it's good to be sure.
