- to install jacinth, just put all the files included in the zip into
- your buzz\gear\generators directory. some people asked me to include
- an installer, but i decided not to do that because i don't feel it's
- required. no other machines have an installer either, so why should
- jacinth?
-
- gentab.exe generates some internal tables for jacinth. if you're on a
- slower computer, you might want to run it and put the generated files
- into your buzz\gear\generators directory with the jacinth dll and the
- other .jac files. OTOH jacinth isn't that useful on slower computers
- because it is so slow already :)
- the precalculated files ONLY speed up adding the first instance of
- jacinth to your buzz song. the data is only generated or loaded once.

- NOTE ABOUT PRESETS: (read this, if nothing else)
-
- when trying out presets, be sure to READ THE PRESET DESCRIPTIONS.
- jacinth has a built-in waveform editor, and the waveforms can not
- be saved with the presets! if a preset is using custom waveforms,
- it should be mentioned in the preset description!
- (the description can be viewed by clicking on the Edit... button
- in the machine parameter window. that is, the window opened by
- double-clicking on the machine.)
-
- so now you've found a preset that is using a custom waveform. how to
- load those? easy:
- 1. right-click on the jacinth machine box in buzz machine view, and
- select Waveform editor...
- 2. from the File menu, select Load Library...
- 3. find the correct jacinth waveform library file (name should be in
- the preset description)
- 4. in the Load Library window, click Default to load all the waveforms
- to the slots they used to be. then click OK.
- 5. click Close in the main waveform editor window.
-
- now the waveforms in that library are loaded. all the presets using it
- should sound as they're supposed to. loading custom waveforms does not
- affect jacinth built-in waveforms - those never change.
-
- ALSO:
-
- because of the way jacinth is built, you should always have at least
- two or three tracks added before loading presets. otherwise the preset
- might not be loaded completely.
