How can
I add background music to my homepage?
|
It is necessary to create and edit a MIDI
file and to write a HTML file in order to add BGM to your homepage.

1.How can I Create a MIDI file?
|
First of all, you will
create a MIDI file by using ACS. You will find the created MIDI file in the
output folder(the folder in which ACS is set up in the initial stage).
In ACS, you can choose from one of the following MIDI standards, namely XG, GS
or GM. (The music created in ACS sends out the reset command of XG, GS and GM to
sound source at the first bar.) Select GM if you want to attach BGM to
your homepage. (If you select XG or GS, state it clearly in your
homepage.)
Select a music style that matches your homepage, and try composing 5 or 6 tunes.
Then you select the best one that suits your taste.

2.How can I edit a MIDI file?
|
You can use the created
file in ACS as BGM. Moreover you can edit it by yourself. For example, you can
adjust the chord length or delete a part of ending for loops.
Although you may not create a perfect tune by automated composing, you can make
it much better by removing a slight dissonant and an unnatural part by using a
sequence software. If you want to play the BGM repeatedly in your homepage,
delete the ending part of music(the last few bars).
If you want to edit a MIDI file like above, you will have to use a sequence
software. You can get it at PC shop or through the Internet for free.

3.How can I write a HTML file?
|
In order to play
the created MIDI file in your homepage as BGM, you will need to write tags for
HTML file. The tag used in each browser is different. Use the tag
"EMBED" for the Netscape's browser. The tag "BGSOUND" for
the Microsoft's browser. The tag "EMBED" can be used for both
browsers. When you want to play BGM repeatedly, write both "LOOP" and
"REPEAT" in "TRUE". If you are a perfectionist, you will
need to distinguish the browser by using Javascript.
Following is an example script:
<embed SRC="snowside.mid"
WIDTH="150" HEIGHT="40" panel="1" autostart="true" loop="false" ALIGN="MIDDLE">
Finally, upload the HTML file with tags that you have just written and the created MIDI
file together.
