1. Supports ActiveX technology

MIDPLUG Control is compatible with ActiveX, which is supported by Microsoft Corporation's Internet Explorer 3.0 and later. In addition to functionality such as auto-downloading and auto-installation, numerous properties, methods and events are provided, you can use VBscript or JavaScript, and use it in conjunction with other ActiveX controls and Java applets to create a variety of applications on your home page.

2. Provides all the basic functionality of MIDPLUG (plug-in)

Since MIDPLUG Control continues to provide all the basic functionality of "MIDPLUG" which Yamaha has been providing as a plug-in, it's easy for you to add MIDI background music to your home page. Furthermore, your page will be accessable in exactly the same way as with MIDPLUG.

3. The tone generator component is installed as a separate driver.

YAMAHA MIDPLUG Control does not include a soft synthesizer tone generator. In order to hear high-quality MIDI music, you will need the Yamaha S-YG20 soft synthesizer (either the full product version or the trial version), or an XG-compatible external tone generator such as the Yamaha MU series.
The S-YG20 trial version can be downloaded from this home page.

When you open a page which contains a MIDI file, the MIDI file specified by the server will be transmitted and played back.
Even in pages which do not specifically support MIDPLUG control, any MIDI file which is attached in the form of "xxxxx.mid" will cause MIDPLUG control to automatically be started up to play the file.

Note

• If your computer can display 16 bit color or better, you can enjoy an even nicer-looking control panel.

• In some cases, the MIDPLUG control panel will remain when you move from the page which caused the control panel to appear to another page. It will disappear when the new page is reloaded.

• For detailed information on the Soft Synthesizer, refer to "S-YG20 readme" or the YAMAHA Homepage.
