Folder And Chapter Tracks - Adobe GOLIVE CS2 User Manual

Instrument tracks
Use an instrument track to play a note when a movie track has loaded, or to play sounds when a particular event
occurs. For example, you can have a sound play when the viewer clicks in a movie. GoLive obtains the instrument
track sounds from a MIDI sound library that is installed with QuickTime.
The instrument track options define the synthesizer used to play the instrument, the instrument category, and the
instrument played. You then play the instrument track by targeting it for a Music Play Note wired action that is
attached to a track. The Music Play Note action options determine the pitch, volume, and duration of the note. You
can attach the Music Play Note action to movie tracks, sprite samples, or text samples.
