Audio files can be played directly from a compact disc on
the Macintosh version of Solo Performer Show Controller.
On Macintosh systems, CD audio files show up as .ai"
files. In Windows operating systems, things are a bit
di"erent. CD audio contents show up as .cda files that
are not audio files at all, but are only very small
“information” files. In Windows operating systems, CD
audio is not currently supported directly in QuickTime,
thus Solo Performer Show Controller cannot read CD
audio directly. The CD audio files must first be converted
to a format that QuickTime can handle, such
as .mp3, .wav, or .ai". There are lots of utility programs
that can be found on the internet to do this conversion.

Chapter 11, MIDI File Options.
If the file is not a MIDI file, this cannot be done. For
suggestions on how to get appropriate audio files, visit

be played as a saxophone.

window shows up. Then click the MIDI tab. Here you can
