Re: soundfont synth. what actually does it do and how does it do it?

ive got 100 sf2.s and love them. i save them as midi software instruments if i want them to become part of my armentarium. What is this soundfont synth i seem to lack?
If it is an AU and placed in the same folder with my sf2's what is it going to enable me to do? Please be specific, basic, instructive and kind. ( if you have experience with it) Does it improve anything?

So, what would one want to use to use Soundfont on an
Intel Mac (new Macbook w/512 ram).
You don't need anything extra to use a SoundFont on an intel Mac. SF2s are simply data files, any machine running any software on any platform can use a SoundFont if it was designed to do so (and GarageBand is).
Currently to access alt banks, when using an intel Mac, you'd have to use a MIDI keyboard that allows you to send the commands to change banks. The SoundFont itself, will still work fine even without a MIDI keyboard.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
That's exactly what you need. A Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter and a HDMI cable. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4241?viewlocale=en_US
This is the only way to view a video on the TV. After connecting your MacBook Air to the TV, image on your TV should show immediately. Then, press Command and F1 keys to mirror your MacBook Air display, and open the video

What is VNC in Sharing and how does someone login remotely?

How does someone from a remote PC login and gain access to a Mac with remote desktop with VNC without turning remote sharing on? So they can see what I see and can control my mouse from a PC?

without turning on screen sharing and with the remote user working from a windows pc, there is no way built into os x to do this. however if the remote user is using a mac you can use ichat's screen sharing feature.
otherwise, you can turn on screen sharing, find your ip address (google 'what is my ip address'), ensure the ports are open on your router and enable vnc users by entering a password in the advanced dialog.

PSE 5--what is a clipping mask and how does it work?

Can anyone explain what a clipping mask is, how it works, and most importantly if Photoshop Elements 5.0 has this capability?
Also, are there any tutorials out there that I can teach myself on this topic? I am trying to mimic a layout explained in digital scrapbooking magazine and this technique is used.
Thank you!
Heather

Heather,
You can find one explanation at Janee's tutorials: http://www.myjanee.com/tuts/elements/elemask.htm
Since PSE does not support layer masks per se, the clipping group simulates a layer mask and hence Janee's name for it, "elemask" (cute, huh?)
Here are 2 examples:
In this example I wanted to blur the background leaving the flower in focus:
http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=1euavV1sDqzrEqqqierfc5dSEH9yI01
1. Duplicate the Background layer and apply a Gaussian blur to the new layer.
2. Add an adjustment layer below the blur layer (any kind of adjustment layer will do), but do not make any adjustment - just click OK.\
3. Group the blur layer with the adjustment layer. On the adjustment layer paint the subject with black
to mask out the blur, paint with white to restore the blur.
Of course you can use other tools on the adjustment layer besides the paint brush, e.g., make a selection and fill with the black or white. In some cases it might be easier to first fill the adjustment layer with black and then paint with white.
In this example (not actually a mask but still demonstrates a clipping group) I wanted to crop the picture into a leaf shape.
http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=1ys9Z7FspSwF8HHKGLrxjGVhbTodmF0
1. Use the leaf from the Custom Shape tool to draw out the leaf, creating a new layer.
2. Move the leaf layer below the picture layer.
3. Group the two layers.
Note that in order to move a layer below the Background layer you have to rename the Background layer to anything else (layer 0 in my example).

What subscription do I get and how does it work ex...

Hello All,
My boyfriend tours for a living and he just started touring internationally. What is the best subscription or scenario for this case? Do you still have to buy skype credit on top of the subscription? If so, what is the benefit of a subscription versus just buying credit?
Thank you in advance for your help! I'm a skype rookie.
Solved!

I can provide you more information. We would use skype to call and SMS. We both live in Florida, USA and he will be traveling to South America and the UK. We both would use either our cell phones (he has an android, I have an iphone) or our macbook pro computers. Any combination of how the subscription would work with those devices is what we would do.
I initially thought that the monthly worldwide plan would be best. Thoughts?
If he was interested in calling back to the US (I saw your other post with phone numbers in the 407 area code in central Florida), the Unlimited USA & Canada subscription is probably the best way for that. It is only US$ 2.99/month, and covers calls to all landline and mobile phones in both countries. Then again, if he has access to Internet while traveling, and both of you use Skype, calls between Skype users on Skype are free - no matter where either of you are.
Will either of you have a need to call phones in countries outside the US? Will you have to call him on a phone somewhere in South America or the UK? If so, there are other subscriptions that can deal with that, and you can have more than one subscription to handle calls to other countries. Depending on how extensive his travels are, and whether or not you need to call him on phones in those places, the Unlimited World subscription may be useful. For most countries outside the USA and Canada, the Unlimited World subscription is only valid for calling landline phones, not mobiles.
Skype can be used to send SMS messages. SMS messages are charged per message, and are not covered by a subscription. Although you can use Skype to send a message, you can't receive SMS messages on a Skype account. When sending an SMS message from Skype, it appears as a message from Skype - not from a telephone number connected to either of you.
One thing to remember with Skype.... the rates for calls per minute and sending SMS messages, along with the subscriptions, are only concerned with the destination of the call or SMS message. Your location when making the calls or sending the SMS messages does not matter. As long as you have access to Internet and can log into Skype, you can make the calls or send the SMS messages.
Hope that helps!

What is error code 603 and how does one fix it?

What is error code 603, please, regarding add-on installation? (The error codes page says for "error 6xx" to contact the Exchange online forum for assistance..) It is a "failed online license check" for an add-on that is a free add-on listed on the Adobe Add-ons page as compatible with PS CS6, CC, and CC 2014, as well as all three versions of a bunch of other apps. It is a Flypaper app, which looks to have been reworked to be compatible with the new 2014 apps. Since Flypaper apps come from reliable source, I'm not sure what the error means, and I'm certainly not sure how to remedy this. (The original Russell Brown Paper Textures Pro works fine on PS CC but isn't compatible with 2014.)
I am running Win 7 64-bit.
Thanks.
Gail
p.s. numbers of other extensions still don't download to PS 2014, so maybe this is also waiting for an Adobe fix??

The add-on in question is called "Flypaper Select" (by Flypaper Textures).
This morning, when I sent the question, it was on last page of the free PS
add-on list and showed the add-on as compatible with all three latest PS
versions. Tonight, when I click on the add-on in "my add-ons" list, it now
shows compatibility only with PS6 and CC, and I can no longer even find it
in the big add-ons list. I will try to send screen shot of "my add-ons" to
the address you listed. It is also below.
Thanks for your help. I have been finding many add-ons change from day to
day, and many won't show up in Extensions window even though the desktop CC
app says they have been installed. I assume I am not the only person with
these problems.

What Xcelsius binaries are needed and how does licensing work when including within an application?

Hi Folks,
Could anyone tell me what binaries ( swf, flash, xml, etc..) are needed if I want to run Xcelsius from within another application? Do they need to be in the same folder?
Also, how are licenses used, stored, retrieved for Xcelsius when included in another application?
Thanks,
Karun

Are you wanting to run the Xcelsius-created .Flash file (.swf) from within another application - or are you asking about running Xcelsius itself from within another app?

What is Exchange Rate Revaluation and how does it impact B/L items and P/L

Dear All,
Can Any one please guide in the sense how a foreign currency revaluation impacts balance sheet and P/L items. ALso why do we need at all to do Foreign Currency Revaluation.
Pinee

Hi Pinee,
At month-end Balance Sheet accounts containing balances expressed in a transaction currency different from the Company Code base currency have to be revaluated at the ongoing exchange rate.
In relation to pure GL entries the automation of exchange rate revaluation is reached via the proper usage of:
Foreign currency GL balance sheet accounts.
GL accounts can be managed and run in a foreign currency
For a GL account in a foreign currency the account balance existing at period end is revaluated at the month-end rate.
The only accounts managed in foreign currency in the GL will typically be the Bank accounts denominated in a currency different from the Company Code base currency.
Open Item managed GL balance sheet accounts
In the case a GL account is defined as Open Item managed the system tracks each single Item posted, marking it as open or cleared.
An Open Item GL account is typically used for accounts containing distinguishable open positions.
The following account categories will be managed as Open Item accounts in the GL:
Loans: Intercompany and Third Party
GR/IR: Clearing account for Goods receipt/invoice receipt
Bank clearing accounts
All the Open Items expressed in a currency different from the Company Code currency are properly revaluated at period-end.
Balance sheet items such as Vendor balances and Customer dues are also revaluated at the month end or year end depending on th requirement.

What is Read Access Logging and how does it work!

Dear all,
I was following a doument :http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-50184
Which shows how you can display list modification structure in a view! But in standard if you check (i.e Listmodification for Business partner in opportunity).
Address , Phone and Email gets pick up automatically as soons as you sellect Partner ID! As per my knowledge that is achieved by :
Read Access Logging
if you check the properties of Data model field , there is an option of Read Access logging
If you check the Read Field Group Data collection , you will see below screen.
This Functionality , I have to achieve in my CUSTOM list modification structure! but How to create field group and how to achieve this functionality ihave no clue!:(
Please help!
Regards,
Dhruvin

Hello Dhruvin,
Then you need some DataOperations in the event handler which starts the ListModification.
Place them before the Start operation
They should assign the PartyID related attributes (one by one) to the resp. fields in the ListModificationStructure.
See example below:

Menu Object; MANUAL option. What is this, and how does it work?

What is this... and, how does it work? Can't find documentation on this.

My knee-jerk reaction is, "are f'n kidding me?"... but, of course, you're not.
I must say, that is an incredibly useless option. How would that 'option" differ from simply making a text object (or text/rectangle/image combo or group) and creating a link?
What got me looking at this option was the hope to find some way to insert a dynamic "field" that could be used on a master page to display the current page title (of a page based on that master). Something similar to Word (and other applications) that you can enter information into a document property and then insert that information anywhere within the document by using a field code for that info. I don't know if there is an HTML code that could be used to accomplish this, in this case. Something that would refer to the page title.
Thanks for the info none-the-less.

I am not upset or unappreciative of your feedback, quite the opposite, I can't believe anyone actually monitors peoples frustrations.
I just want to make sure I don't allow information about me that is not necessary. I just want to listen to music and have a phone and have an ipad.
Everything else about apple is way to propriatory. I don't want to do anything that isn't very simple.
Most importantly, there never seems to be any (human being) that can answer a telephone call anymore.

Firefox update installs, but does not apprearon screen, or task manger yet is running what is going on and how does one fix it?

I installed the update Mozilla Firefox 28. It was suppose to launch upon completion. it did not appear on the monitor screen, nor the task manager, but was running; for when I attempted to install the older version again it, it said that Firefox was running and needed to be turned off.
I restarted the computer and tried opening Firefox, with the same results.
After restarting again, I attempted to reinstall the update, with the same results taking place.
I attempted to uninstall Firefox and install the new version. The same results took place.
In the past, I could install Firefox 27 update, only now I can't for the same thing takes place. Past a certain version (19), this event takes place, but 19 and older can install it with no problems.
I checked Firefox troubleshooting information. All was normal. I checked my firewall. Again, all was normal. Tried Firefox reset. Did not help. Tried with my firewall disabled. Did not solve the problem.
Ran a virus check (deep) no viruses. Checked my computer system. No errors.
I can install updates for my other programs, even install new programs; just not Firefox.
What is going on and how does one fix it.

Hi Amseeking,
Thank you for your question. From your description, you tried to install the 28 update from a version 19 installation. Did you install a fresh install of 28 successfully? Where the name of the file is"Firefox Setup Stub 28.exe"? This is what is sound like happened. When going to about Firefox and searching for updates it installs over the current installation. However if Firefox was already running, there are more than one installation.
Updating from version 19 to 28 would not be a problem. However the user data from your previous version would have to be imported to the new installation if you have more than one install on that computer.
An easy way to tell is to search for Firefox in the Start menu to see if more than one icon shows up in the search results.
I hope this helps.
