Bol
Processor BP2 -- a 'QuickStart'
This
is a short introduction to
BOL
PROCESSOR BP2
.
Since
BP2 uses the standard Apple Macintosh® interface, any person familiar with
common software (e.g. word processors) can operate it easily.
BP2
is thoroughly documented on-line: type cmd-? (question mark with the command
key down) and click any button, menu item, static text or word in a text. You
may also open the text file "BP2 help" with any word processor.
The
present introduction is meant to explain how BP2 works and help you to start
designing your own (presumably musical) sounds.
Throughout
the introduction we will use files from the example folders so that you do not
need to create and debug grammars, alphabets, sound-object files, etc., before
seeing and hearing BP2 in operation. The reference manual (below in this
document) is more informative about the way BP2 handles musical syntax.
