Introduction ------------ MidiKeys is a screen representation of a piano keyboard. It can play through the internal speaker in the PC, or it can play sounds using the Windows Multimedia Extensions if you have a sound card or an external MIDI sound generator. MidiKeys is very useful for setting up the MIDI Mapper, it lets you audition the sounds on a sound card or MIDI sound module, and it can be fun to just bang on little melodies. MidiKeys can now play WAV files, and allows even more fun possibilities. You can play along with musical WAV files, or add special effect to those little melodies. You can also create virtual conversations from sound bites, etc. Registration ------------ MidiKeys is BannerWare for our product called Makeover for Windows. The only fee for using MidiKeys is a completed and mailed registration form, and enough of your time to read some information about Makeover. The registration form is contained in REGISTER.TXT and REGISTER.WRI, and can also be printed from the MidiKeys help file. The file containing MidiKeys should have included BROCHURE.HLP, which is an online brochure for Makeover in Windows Help format. Please take a few minutes to check out the brochure. Open BROCHURE.HLP using the File,Run... command in Program Manager or File Manager, or open the help for any Windows program and use the File,Open... command to open the file. If HLP files are associated with WINHELP.EXE, you can just double click on BROCHURE.HLP in File Manager. If there is no HLP association, you can enter the command 'WINHELP' from the File,Run... box, and then use the File,Open... menu command in Windows Help. About Makeover -------------- Makeover is a collection of utilities that let you dramatically improve and/or change the appearance of Windows. Other utilities are included, but most people buy Makeover for the appearance utilities. OSFrame allows you to add 3D and other effects to title bars and sizing borders. ButtonMaker lets you edit the title bar and scroll bar buttons using a specialized icon editor. Predefined buttons are provided that mimic the Mac, NeXT, OSF/Motif, GeoWorks, and OS/2, but you can easily create your own. Makeover is available at all CompUSA stores, and via mail order from Windows Exchange (1-800-845-1900 or 313-344-1140). It's also available through other resellers. The retail price is $39.95, but the actual price you pay may be much lower. Windows Exchange has a free shipping special in effect for at least April and May of '93.
