“Be thou wary of strangers, the fallen nature of man has made him untrustworthy. No man may be what he appears to be.”

-The Book of Survival 12:15

Prescott, AZ: 20 After Undead Outbreak (AUD)

“…we must be ever vigilant! Though it has been 65 days since the last time we experienced an attack or outbreak, the threat of one still looms over our heads.” Father Jones paused for dramatic effect. “The fact still remains that should anyone become sick and die, they run the risk of returning and infecting this entire society.”

I fidgeted in my seat as I surveyed the crowd gathered for Sunday service, Father Jones was on a roll today. Preaching the good news of Zombie Preparedness, he helped maintain the population of our little enclave.

Years ago we set up the Servants of Unwavering Vigilance, a group of survivors of the initial Phoenix outbreak 20 years ago. Father Jones preached a zero tolerance hatred of zombies, or Reanimated Dead as the Center for Disease Control (CDC) had officially named them.

We call them Biters and Roamers. See, there are two types of zombies. Biters are ones that don’t move much, they just hide out in little nooks and crannies inside buildings. When living flesh draws near they usually lunge out of the darkness and bite unsuspecting victims. Roamers are the ones we usually come in contact with. They are the ones that walk the land and migrate from town to town in massive herds. Roamers are the biggest threat to any settlement while Biters are the bane of gatherers existence.

We have been holed up in this little town halfway between Phoenix and Flagstaff since the second year of the Outbreak. It isn’t an easy life but it’s life. My name’s Jack Bishop, I was born a year after the original Outbreak.  I’m a devout Servant of Unwavering Vigilance, I honor all the tenants of the Book of Survival. I am a member of our militia and am usually tasked with patrolling the wall of our camp, all men aged 18-25 serve a mandatory stint in the militia and do not marry or start a family until we are allowed to retire from active duty at age 25. Even then we are still part of the reserves until we reach the age of 50 and are deemed an old timer.

Old Timers are still technically required to train and maintain the cleanliness of their weapons, however in the event of an attack they do not rush to the wall. Instead, the Old Timers, along with a special regiment of non retired 50 year olds are in charge of protecting the women and the children.

“God has left us here in this wasteland of a world because he is testing us! We shall not earn salvation if we stand idle by and let the demon spawn from hell run rampant over God’s green earth! We are tasked with maintaining our section of the country and destroying any abomination that should wander our land. If any should turn, remember the Good Book has stated that we are to immediately, without hesitation. PUT! THEM! DOWN!”

Father Jones is on a roll today, the Doctrine of Reanimated Loved Ones is often a touchy subject in our camp. It states that:

“Should a person, be they living or dead, be overcome with the Grey Eyes and develop a thirst for human flesh. They are to be prescribed a single bullet to the brain to end the suffering of the possessed soul and to protect the safety and life of those still living.”

Every one of us knows this doctrine inside and out and, almost all of us gathered here today have followed it to the letter.

“In the last Outbreak we suffered 65 days ago, we saw massive amounts of our fighting men depleted in a single day! This cannot be allowed to repeat itself! We must not hesitate in the face of evil! Nay! We shall stand in the gap and defend our lives and the lives of those still living by sending the abominations that plague our planet back to hell, from whence they came!”

The incident that Father Jones is referring to is when Sister Jane hesitated just a fraction of a second when her husband succumbed to a knife wound he received in training the previous day. Matthew, had grabbed her by the arm and bit her on the wrist before she could shake off the shock of losing her husband.

That day 25 patients and 3 nurses were bitten, we quarantined the hospital and sent in two teams of 8. Armed with shotguns, they purged the hospital and contained the outbreak.

Luckily, I was on the wall and didn’t have to go in, my older sister Lisa was in the hospital that day, both her and the baby she had just delivered had to be put down.

“We cannot, I repeat, cannot suffer another Outbreak like the one we did 65 days ago! It. Must. Not. Be Allowed to Happen. I urge you to remain ever vigilant in these peaceful days!”

I watch as several faces, those chosen for the teams remain stoic as they remember the carnage that took place two months ago.

“In closing, let us pray…please stand”

We stand as one unit, brothers and sisters in faith and raise our hands to the heavens, to the God who has given us this task, this test, as one we chant:

Protect us this day

From Death, and Dismay

Light Up our Path

Through the Embers and Ash

Protecting our Steps

Sustaining our flesh

Rain Holy Lead

To Wash Out All Our DEAD

Cleansing Fires Burn

May the Living LEARN

I Pray I keep the LAW

ONE Bullet

ONE Brain

For each, it’s the SAME!

“Amen!” Father Jones ends the service and begins to dismiss us..

WEEEEEOOOOOO! WEEEEEEOOOO!

That’s the alarm signaling an attack. My head spins as a huge rush of adrenaline courses through my veins. My heart picks up speed and I race to my quarters to suit up.

“To your battle stations!” Father Jones commands over the chaotic movement in the chapel.

I rush to my bunk and slide out my trunk from underneath the bed and snap open the lid. My battle armor is on top, I quickly slide into the reinforced riot jumpsuit.

The thick jumpsuit covers my arms and torso, the jumpsuit has been altered from the original state we found it in. Duct tape has been sewed to the inside of the fabric. The ideas is that if a zombie can’t bite through it, you can’t be infected.

I grab my gloves and helmet and quickly put them on.

“ALL SOLDIERS TO THE WALL! NOW!”

The intercom screams at me to get to my post, I grab my M16 Assault rifle and check the clip. Fully loaded.

I load my semi automatic shotgun and grab a fanny pack of extra shells, I have 30 in all. As I sling the shotgun over my back I grab my belt of clips for the M16 and race to the wall.

Hello, here is another guide pertaining to the awesome app OnSong.

I have another one showing how to sync your app with Dropbox here.

OnSong uses the ChordPro language. ChordPro is a method of coding lead sheets to display chords and allow you to change keys of a song inside the app. While OnSong has a great build in editor, some of us prefer a physical keyboard for our typing.

Before we begin, we will need a few things:

1. A plain text editor (Not Word), I use Komodo Edit, its a great editor that can handle a lot of different file types. It’s my preferred code editor. Also it is available for mac and pc
2. You will need to have your OnSong app set up with Dropbox to upload the songs after we are done, so quickly click over here and get that set up.
3. The last thing we need is a song! Lets choose Here I am To Worship from Ultimate Guitar, you will want to choose the chord version. Leave the tab with the song pulled up open, we will need it later.

Above is a screen shot of the song in the Key of E.

Now that we have assembled all of the things we need we can begin to edit this song.

Open up KomodoEdit, start a new document by clicking on File then hover over New, and select New Document:

Once the document has been opened, we will need to save it into ChordPro format. Click, File then Save As… 

We are going to save the file as Here I am to Worship.chopro. The .chopro at the end is important as it is what specifies that this is a ChordPro song.

Now we will go over to our browser window with the chord chart pulled up.

Select all of the text and copy and paste it into the KomodoEdit document.

Now, the chords might bescrewed up, but don’t worry, we are going to fix that!

Lets go ahead and delete all of the chord symbols. We’ll also take out all of the notes that the person who tabbed this out put in.

Then change all of the section references such as (Verse 1) and change them to this format: Verse1: (This will ensure that OnSong recognizes them as a section heading)

You should now have something like this:

Now we will put in the metadata for the song, we will have three entries.

• Title
• Subtitle
• Key

In order to enter the metadata we will use this format:

{title:Here I am to Worship}

{subtitle:Tim Hughes}

{key:E]

Your song should look like this:

Placing chords in ChordPro format is very easy.

In order for OnSong to recognize a chord you will need to place it inside brackets. and example is the chord E, in ChordPro it looks like this [E].

The cool thing about ChordPro is that you can determine where a chord is placed without having to press the spacebar 100 times, and if you use OnSong to export to PDF it will be in the exact place you want it.

Here is a line from the song:

Light of the world you stepped down into darkness.

We are going to place the chords inside that line. When these songs are read by OnSong it will automatically move the chords above where we place them. for instance, that line will look like this:

L[E]ight of the w[B]orld you stepped d[F#m]own into darkness.

I would suggest, having KomodoEdit and your browser arranged so that you can see both windows at the same time. Like this:

Now go through and place all of your chords, when you have a chord that has multiple parts such as Asus only the first letter needs to be capitalized. If, however you have a Slash Chord such as E/G# then both of the chord names need to be capitalized.

Once you are done editing, it should look like this:

Now, just save the file and follow the steps at the end of my Dropbox guide to load the song onto your iPad: http://mykeclements.tumblr.com/post/26358126805/how-to-set-up-your-onsong-app

vstparty:

You’re a free spirit. You want more than what you’re given. You yearn to grow beyond your limitations. You crave more sounds than you got with Presonus Studio One or, especially, Studio One Free. That last one is a doozy, because, as I mentioned in a prior post, you can’t expand Studio One Free with third party plugins. 

The good news is you can expand it with third party sample libraries that open right inside the Presence virtual instrument.
