- MIDI Edit Version 1.10
- For Microsoft Windows 3.0
- (C) Dan McKee, 1991
-
- MIDI Edit is a full featured MIDI sequencer that runs in Windows 3.0. It uses
- standard MIDI files, so the resulting sequences can be used almost anywhere.
-
- Major features include:
- - imports Adlib ROL files
- - up to 64 tracks
- - runs in ALL Windows modes (including enhanced mode)
- - will play songs in the background
- - very powerful editing commands
- - unique piano roll style notation for editing
- - full online help
- - supports standard MIDI files
-
- MIDI Edit is ShareWare - not AnnoyWare or FreeWare.
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- The following equipment is required to use MIDI Edit:
- - PC running Microsoft Windows 3.0 or above (any mode)
- - a mouse (not strictly required, but very handy)
- - a Roland MPU-401 MIDI interface (or compatible)
- - a MIDI Keyboard
- - some MIDI noise boxes
-
- Actually the above list is somewhat misleading. All you really need is a PC
- and Windows. However it is difficult to play or record without some MIDI
- equipment.

-
- Installation
-
- If you are installing MIDI Edit and WinJammer, please see the next section.
- Otherwise, simply create a directory and copy the files into it. You should
- have the following files:
- MIDIEDIT.EXE - MIDI Edit executable
- MIDILIB.DLL - DLL which runs the MIDI hardware
- MIDIEDIT.HLP - the online help file
- README - this file
- SONGS.DOC - explanation and credits on sample songs
- MIN-G.MID - Bach's Minuet in G (kind of)
- GREENSL.MID - Nice arrangement of Greensleeves
- CHINESE.MID - Chinese Dance from the Nutcracker
- WHATSNEW.110 - description of recent changes
-
- Add an icon to program manager using the File New command of program manager.
- Double click on the icon to start MIDI Edit.
-
- MIDI Edit will display a quick introductory screen which will only appear once!
- As it says, use the MIDI Configure command to configure MIDI Edit for your
- hardware. Help contains a topic Quick Start which may also be interesting.
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Installing MIDI Edit and WinJammer
-
- WinJammer will peacefully co-exist with MIDI Edit in the same directory so
- long as the versions of the DLL are compatible. Since this is version 1.10
- of WinJammer (and version 1.10 of the DLL), please make sure you are running
- at least version 1.10 of MIDI Edit.
-
- For those of you who don't know what MIDI Edit is, read on!

-
- ShareWare
-
- MIDI Edit is not a free program, but is being distributed under the ShareWare
- concept. This allows you to evaluate the program to determine whether it is
- worth anything, and then buy it if you are going to use it. You must register
- the program if you are going to use it.
-
- The version of MIDI Edit you have is fully featured and is in no way crippled.
- There are no annoying message boxes that appear reminding you to register
- either. Please respect this. If you use MIDI Edit after a reasonable
- evaluation period of two weeks, register the program. If you don't think MIDI
- Edit is worth the money, let me know this too, and I'll see if I can satisfy
- you with the next release.
