Frequently Asked Questions

What did you use to create those graphics?

Almost everything (except the writings) has been modeled/rendered by myself with Caligari Truespace2. That's a very compact and fast raytraycing package what is able to produce high quality images and animations up to broadcasting resolutions at an affordable price.

Can I take the picture X and place it on my webpage?

That depends on which pictures you're going to take. Look at the copyright section above if you're unsure.

Can you make some artwork for my personal web page?

Well, I can... Let me know what kind of stuff you'd like to see and what the main theme of your page is. Please consider also that I have to do everything in my spare time so limit your wishes to a few (1-2), but even then it will take a while.

Would it be ok if I add a link to your site to my links list?

Of course, just do it.

Am I allowed to use the midis on my own page?

Of course you are... However, I'm not really sure who holds which copyrights on what title so it's certainly a good idea to put copyright notes for both, the actual composer and OSI on your page.

The music sounds strange on my soundcard, what's wrong?

Aall midifiles have been arranged to get a reasonable quality atleast on GM-Boards. However the optimum sound can only be heard on a Roland Soundcanvas or equal models because some tracks make use of their General Synth-Instruments and Reverb/Chorus effects respectively. I can't guarantee even okay quality on simple Soundblaster/Adlib/Whatever-FM-Synths nor will I do special arrangements for those cards in the future. I suggest you contact your local computerstore and ask for a good GM-Board. There are also many daughterboards for the SB16 (or other cards with waveblaster-connector) available. Meanwhile you may also try one of the various software wavetable synths, although none of them can compete in any way with a true hardware synthesizer its still a much better solution than plain FM synthesis.

What is required to view your pages?

You'll get the best results with Netscape Navigator 2.0+ or Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0+. It will not work with browsers w/o frame capabilities. Note: If you're still using Netscape 2.0 you'll need the Crescendo-plugin to hear the background music. The optimum screen resolution is 1024x768x16 but 800x600 might be okay as well.
