- For Microsoft Windows 3.0
- (C) Dan McKee, 1991
-
- What is New in Version 1.10
-
- In this file I will describe the bugs that were found in version 1.00 of MIDI
- Edit, and describe the enhancements that went into Version 1.10. Thanks go out
- to all of you who sent me suggestions, as well as those who sent me bugs. Keep
- up the good work.
-
- Bug fixes to MIDI Edit version 1.00 --------------------------------------------
-
- 1. Recording on top of an existing track would often fail - nothing would be
- recorded at all.
-
- 2. If you changed directories then pressed help, the Windows Help engine
- wasn't able to find the help file.
-
- 3. There were a number of bugs in the import of ROL files. These include
- errors in the translation of tempo changes as well as problems reassigning
- patches.
-
- 4. Configuring the MIDI port (MIDI Configure command) did not cause the
- MIDIEDIT.INI file to be updated.
-
- 5. Switching MIDI Thru switch did not have an immediate effect.
-
- 6. Piano roll window had some problems when using Tab and Shift-Tab to select
- a note.
-
- 7. The MIDI Capture Hex command could overflow, resulting in a loss of data.
- This should not happen anymore, however the dialog will display a message
- if it does.
-
- Bug fixes to MIDILIB.DLL version 1.00 ------------------------------------------
-
- 1. If playback was started somewhere other than at the beginning of a song,
- and if a high timebase was used, the song would not start playing at the
- correct spot.
-
- Enhancements in Version 1.10 ---------------------------------------------------
-
- 1. Tempos: Tempos were completely revamped. Tempos are now supported from 8
- to 350 beats per minute in all timebases. Tempo changes will also now take
- effect at the proper place in the song, rather than after some delay.
-
- 2. Space Bar: due to many requests, the space bar can now be used to start
- and stop play. This is effective on the main window, track list window and
- piano roll window - so long as the play controls window is open.
-
- 3. MIDI Real Time Switch: if the real time switch is enabled, the play
- control window will show "Waiting..." instead of a beat number. When a
- MIDI Start or Continue message is sent, normal counting will start.
-
- 4. File Import: aside from the bugs in this process, there are two new
- switches. The ROL Pitch Wheel switch determines whether or not the ROL
- file's pitch wheel messages are to be translated. All ROL files contain
- Pitch Wheel information - but they normally translate better without them.
- The ROL Save Patches switch determines whether or not the patch
- reassignments set are saved. If you keep saving the assignments, you
- shouldn't have to do as much work to set up the next ROL file you import.
-
- 5. Song Directory: MIDI Edit now remembers the directory you were last in.
- The next time you start it up you won't have to change directories to load
- the song you were last working with.
-
- 6. Track Clear Section: This is a new command that will delete all events in
- a section of a track. Check it out in the help.
-
- 7. Track Replicate: This is a new command that will copy all events in a
- portion of a track one or more times. This is great for drum tracks and
- other repetitive sections.
-
- 8. Play Control: any patch changes received while recording now set the
- appropriate channel's patch in the window.
-
- 9. About: the about box now displays the ROM version number from the MPU.
- This may be helpful if you have some problems.
-
- 10. When recording with MIDI Sync mode the program will no longer hang if no
- MIDI clock events are seen.
