7. Using the Digital Drum Software & Game

This chapter discusses the DrumXtreme Software program including the Game program. First is a discussion of what you need to do before starting the program, followed by a discussion of the operation of the program.

7.1Before Starting the DrumXtreme Software Program

This section shows how to verify your computer’s settings and lists some checks to insure that your drum-beats can be synchronized with music playing on the CD-ROM. You may first need to exit certain programs as noted in this section.

1.Before launching the Drum Extreme software, please enable (un- mute) your volume control and set the speakers to a comfortable volume level for music playback. You may want to play some music on your CD-ROM first to adjust the volume level while playing the music.

2.Turn-off any screen-saver programs by setting the screen-saver default as None. This setting can be accessed under the Display section of your Windows® Control Panel (left-click on START, then select SETTINGS, then click on Control Panel, and double click on Display).
