Opus7 uses several techniques to improve network security. First, the Wireless Router acts as a NAT firewall, which blocks external computers from gaining direct access to the

PianoDisc system(s). Second, Opus7 includes a built-in firewall that limits access by external systems.

Opus7 attempts to achieve a delicate balance between security and usability in its network implementation. However, a determined hacker may still be able to defeat these security measures and utilize the network of the Purchaser in an unauthorized manner. Since each network is different, only the Purchaser can determine whether the security measures discussed here are adequate to protect the network.

Purchaser acknowledges that connection to the Internet and use of the Internet features of the Opus7 System is done at the risk of the Purchaser. In no event shall PianoDisc, its subsidiaries or employees be responsible for unauthorized access to, loss or alteration of the data of the Purchaser or be liable for any damage from intrusions.

1.

In no event will PianoDisc, its officers, directors, employees, contractors, and representatives be held liable for any damages of any kind, including without limitation compensatory, direct, indirect, or consequential damages, loss of income or data, loss of or damage to property, and claims of customers or third parties arising from the installation and use of, or the inability to use the Opus7 system.

2.

PianoDisc does not provide any warranty of the Opus7 system whatsoever, whether express, implied, or statutory, including, but not limited to, any warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose or any warranty that the function of the system will be error free. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the total liability of PianoDisc for all damages, losses, and causes of action (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) exceed the total amount paid by the Purchaser for purchasing the Opus7 System or the cost to repair or replace the Opus7 system whichever is lower.

CHAPTER 2:

INTERFACE

Opus7 software uses a web browser to display the product interface. The interface is designed with tabs, menus and buttons to help you select and use the features of the system.

There are three (3) types of interfaces you can use to access and interact with the Opus7 system:

• Flash - The original interface. Although it is available for use, it does not support all of the new features and functions added to the 2.0 version of Opus7.

• Simplified HTML - Use this interface to access Opus7 using devices with limited web browser capability. (e.g. PDAs, cell phones, T.V.s, etc.)

• Full HTML - New interface for Opus7 2.0. It is designed to help users easily navigate through the system and provide new and upgraded features.

41

Main Tab

Can I see song titles?

When a CD is inserted into a removable drive, Opus7 uses the Internet (if available) to retrieve a list of track names.

If an Internet connection is not available and the CD is a

PianoDisc CD, Opus7 attempts to read track names directly from the CD.

This process usually takes about thirty seconds, but can take up to a minute or more, depending on the CD. If you'd rather not wait, press stop to leave track names as untitled.

PianoSync

The PianoSync feature allows Opus7 to play along with your favorite music from major recording artists.

To load a PianoSync performance:

1.

Purchase a PianoSync performance in CD or downloadable music file format.

• Go to Step 7 if the PianoSync performance was downloaded from the PianoDisc eMusic Store.

2.

Purchase the matching audio CD from a music retailer.

3.

Attach the CD-ROM drive to the USB port on the Opus7 access panel.

4.

Verify that playback is stopped (not paused).

5.

Insert the PianoSync CD into the CD-ROM drive.

• Opus7 starts processing the PianoSync CD within 60 seconds. Do NOT eject the CD or use the system until the data is completely loaded onto your system.

6.

Remove the PianoSync CD after the lid of the CD-ROM drive opens.

7.

Insert the audio CD into the CD-ROM drive.

42



Main Tab

8.

Copy the audio CD directly to MX3 or into the music library of your choice.

• Music from the audio CD is stored in the music library you selected. Song titles are alphabetically sorted and listed among all the songs within the library.

• A playlist of the audio CD is automatically created within the Catalog library. It is a convenient way of accessing the album you just copied.

Do I need to use Merge to play PianoSync performances?

Merge is not needed to play or copy PianoSync performances or a matching CD.

How do I find an audio CD to match the PianoSync CD?

You can find the UPC code for the matching CD in the

PianoSync album literature. PianoSync performances are customized for a specific CD and do not work with alternate or “close” versions of the matching CD.

How do I receive PianoSync performances purchased from the PianoDisc eMusic Store.

During purchase, select a music file format: PD, CD, OP

CD or OP Downloadable. If you have a broadband

Internet connection, you can download OP Downloadable music files directly to your Opus7 system. PDs, CDs, and

OP CDs are mailed to you via USPS or UPS. For more information, go to www.pianodisc/emusic.com

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface)

A connectivity standard that musicians use to connect musical instruments (such as keyboards and synthesizers) and computer equipment. Using MIDI, a musician creates and edits digital music tracks. The MIDI system digitally records: notes played, length of the notes, dynamics

(volume alterations), tempo, and instrument being played.

Because MIDI records each note digitally, editing a track of

MIDI music is much easier and more accurate than editing a track of audio. Musicians can change the notes, dynamics, tempo, and even the instrument played.

MIDI Controller

A device, real or virtual, which generates and transmits

MIDI data for operating musical devices or other devices which are electronically enabled for MIDI operation.

MIDI file

A computer file format containing musical information and performance data. MIDI files are binary files that require

Wave file

A Wave file is an audio file format, created by Microsoft, that has become a standard PC audio file format for everything from system and game sounds to CD-quality audio. A Wave file is identified by a file name extension of

WAV (.wav). Used primarily in PCs, the Wave file format has been accepted as a viable interchange medium for other computer platforms, such as Macintosh. In addition to the uncompressed raw audio data, the Wave file format stores information about the file's number of tracks (mono or stereo), sample rate, and bit depth.

104



Webpad

A handheld, wireless device designed for Web browsing. A

Webpad is like a laptop computer without a fold-down screen and keyboard, which is why it is also called a Web

.mid, .wav, .ogg, .kar, etc.) To specify a song, always include the filename and extension.

106



Customized Playlist

Playlist Components

Playlist File Format.

PianoDisc playlists are plain text files with the file name extension .pdl.

Structure.

A playlist consists of one or more sections. Each section consists of: command, count (optional), media type, and a repeat value. Example:

play count

{ add media remove media

} repeat

Commands.

A command must start each section of a playlist.

Each command can be followed by a count (the number of songs to play). After the specified number of songs is played, section playback is complete.

If a repeat value is specified at the end of a section, songs are played again. For example, if the repeat value is (3), the section plays three times.

Playlist programming commands:

• Play - songs are played sequentially.

• Shuffle - songs are played in random order. A song is not repeated until all songs within a section are played. A section is not repeated until all songs within the section are played.

• Cue - songs are played sequentially, but you must tap Play before each song.

107

Customized Playlist

Operators.

An operator must precede each media line in a section.

Use the following operators in a media line:

• The

+

adds a media source.

• The

-

removes a media source.

Media.

Media lines list the media source to include or exclude from a playlist. Each line consists of an operator and media type.

Media types are:

• fd - specifies the floppy disk as the media type. Supports libraries and tracks.

• cd - specifies CD as the media type. Supports libraries and tracks.

• mx - specifies the MX3 drive as the media type. Supports libraries.

• nt - specifies the Internet as the media type. Supports libraries.

To build a media line:

• Enclose each section in braces.

• Enter an operator then a media type.

• List the media line without a library/track to indicate inclusion or exclusion of all songs on the media type OR

• List a library/track to indicate the addition/removal of all songs in the library

• List a song’s file name to indicate the addition/removal of a single song.

Remember: The operator used in the media line determines whether to include, exclude, add or remove music.

• Separate the media type, library, and song with a forward slash (

/

).

108



Customized Playlist

In the media line sample below:

• All songs on the MX3 drive are added to the playlist.

• The Musical Memories library is removed.

• A single song is added from the floppy disk.

{

+mx

-mx/Musical Memories

Note:

• If the value is (0), playback is repeated indefinitely. The user must tap Stop to discontinue.

• If no value is specified, the section is played back once.

What does the tilde (~) after the song title mean?

Songs included on the MX3 drive or purchased from

PianoDisc may have a tilde (~) and number after the song title. This designation is a PianoDisc catalog number and should be included in the song title.
