Tutorial: Live Performance Mode
When you installed intelliScore onto your system, you may have elected to install a set of project files to the Live Performance Templates sub-folder on your computer. These are predefined project files for using several common instruments in live performance mode. These project files are ready to use but can be modified to your preferences. Additionally, you can create live performance project files from scratch. This tutorial tells you how to create your own live performance project for a guitar.
First tell intelliScore which devices you want to use. This information will be used every time you are in live performance mode until you change it.
1. Click the Tools and Folder Icon in the Tool Bar to open the Options window.
2. The Audio Device combo box lists the audio input sources on your computer. Select the Audio Device that you will be recording from.
3. The MIDI Device combo box lists the devices that you can playback the generated MIDI through. Typically this list includes the synthesizer in your computer sound card and a route to an external MIDI device. Select the MIDI Device you want to use.
4. Click the OK button to save your settings and close the Options window.
5. Now click the Blank Document Icon in the Tool Bar to start the New Project Wizard.
6. You are asked where the audio will be obtained from. Choose the bottom option next to the speaker icon to specify live performance mode. Click the Next button to continue.
7. Select I know what instruments comprise the original audio. Click the Next button to continue.
8. Since in this tutorial you are playing a guitar, a single instrument, choose the Single option and click Next to continue. (If you have the Polyphonic Edition of intelliScore, you won't see the step in the New Project Wizard.)
9. Now select the instrument from the list box. Choose 24 - Acoustic Guitar (Nylon). Click Next to continue.
10. You are asked to enter the polyphony level. IntelliScore filled in a value of 6, since guitars can play up to six notes at a time. Accept the default value and click Next to continue.
11. Click the Finish button to close the New Project Wizard.
12. The Live Performance Control Panel opens. Follow the instructions in the display to set the recording level and begin generating MIDI data from your live performance. Click the Close button when you are finished.
13. You can edit your project as desired in the Project Editor. You can also save your project settings for use later.
