1. Let s order trucks to be under loading not more than 20 minutes for example since the first item is loaded onto each one Moreover you would prefer to upgrade autoloader but it belongs to a factory it s not yours and you may not do that however you expect hope some other factories have advanced autoloaders Now delivery efficiency will depend on how many additional items an autoloader can really load onto certain truck within 20 min interval since first item is loaded Assume it s scenario 2 Now let s revert to MolCp3 however we will revolve our scenario examples In this case the finished store is some sequencer application producing MIDI events home devices are MIDI events trucks network packets and towns other computers While Send Quantization Time parameter is 0 MolCp3 sends MIDI events as your company delivers home devices by scenario 1 i e immediate delivery But we have increased CPU utilization and network resource costs because of one by one MIDI events processing scenario 1 To force MolCp3 to work by scenario 2 let s set Send Quantization Time parameter to little non zero value for example 0 1 ms minimum non zero value Now having 0 1 ms delay MolCp3 is allowed to cache several one by one but tightly produced MIDI events pack them into network packets and then upon expiration of 0 1 ms timer send completed packets Moreover MolCp3 can pack MIDI events from any Network ports to one network packet if2. Disable driver ports just check uncheck MIDI IN and or MIDI OUT check boxes Note both IN and OUT driver ports can be enabled disabled independently To switch any Network port to Local pipe mode check the Local pipe box So the Port OUT device will be disconnected from network and connected directly to its IN device In this mode both IN and OUT are always enabled You can also customize Network port display name Fields Port display name are intended for this purpose So you could assign any name you like for the port you re currently configuring Leaving this field empty lets the driver use the default port name MolCp3Port N Bg Bg ZI MolCp III Control Panel E wuert ONE A MolCp Ill Control Panel W MIDI IN L Local pipe loopback mode Port display name L Source computer name KLAX PC L Source Port 1 Lei M MIDI OUT Port display name Target computer name KLAX PC Target Port 1 8 C Send Immediately Test MIDI Ch 1 Realtime Options NW Show Connectors Send Quantization Time ms 0 2 iv Launch Monitor M Enable Logging ee 10 IN Network port configuration if enabled If check boxes of the MIDI IN rectangle are both disabled unchecked IN Network Port will receive MIDI events from ANY MolCp3 computers with ANY computer name and from ANY OUT Network port numbers In this case so called IN Network port filter is completely inactive

8. OS core later every time you turn computer on it reads its settings and starts along with OS long before anyone could logon So the only way to apply changes without restarting computer is to dynamically restart the driver Fortunately MS Windows 2k XP allows doing that Once you ve clicked the Apply button all changes are saved in MolCp3 preferences file MolCp3 MIDI driver applies them as soon as it will be accessed by CoreMIDI Server system component the next time Basically in Mac OSX any CoreMIDI driver is loaded on demand However the only MolCp3 parameter Send Quantization Time is immediately applied as soon as changed regardless of MIDI driver component current state This parameter directly controls MolCp3 low level network component which stays loaded all the time your computer is on So note if you have changed Send Quantization Time and then abandoned to apply this parameter stays changed until either computer is restarted or you change it manually once again Once again note that configuring MolCp3 is not recommended while at least one MIDI application is active otherwise you won t be able to apply changes because of MolCp3 DirectMusic MIDI driver component stays locked and cannot be dynamically reloaded Clicking Apply button you will immediately get Restart required system notification Even if you later unload all active MIDI applications you will have to restart system anyway MolCp3 CoreM

10. chanism is for and how it affects MIDI event stream timing Imagine you re haulier and have infinite number of trucks Your trucks are intended to carry some count goods household refrigerators for example from finished stores of several factories Primary scenario of household refrigerators transportation may be as follows An autoloader gets one refrigerator assume it cannot get more than one at a time outside finished store and loads it onto a truck Upon completion loading of one refrigerator a truck driver immediately turns ignition on starts engine and drives this one refrigerator to some other place an intermediate storage area While first truck is on its way the autoloader gets the next refrigerator and loads it onto another truck which immediately starting its way too and so on Lets complicate scenario assume its scenario 1 Now trucks will carry 3 kinds of home devices refrigerators microwaves and toasters from some storage area to several towns optionally A B and C Home devices are loaded onto trucks one by one and immediately delivered each by individual truck to towns A B or C Results of your business are very high expenditures very low transportation efficiency BUT IMMEDIATE DELIVERY How to increase delivery efficiency keeping possible minimum delivery delay if your trucks cannot wait until completely loaded as long as you actually don t know whether it s enough items in stock to completely load each truck
