- OctaMED Soundstudio V1.00 to V1.02
-
- It now includes support for the "to be released" Melody soundcard.

- permission to do so from: rbfsoft@cix.compulink.co.uk

-
- Instructions
- ============
- To use the patch, copy the OctaMED executable file from
- the CD (or Floppy) to a hard disk or a floppy.
-
- To make things easier, temporarily rename the executable
- file to just OctaMED.
-
- Then copy the file of your choice (CD or Floppy) along with the
- spatch program to the same directory as the renamed file (OctaMED).
-
- From the Shell prompt, cd to that directory and type:
-
- spatch -pCD-Eng.pch OctaMED
-
- The patch will be applied, and after it's complete, you can do
- the following steps:
-
- * delete CD-English.pch ( or Floppy.pch )
- * delete the old renamed file called OctaMED
- * rename OctaMED_Soundstudio
-
- Now you have V1.02 of the executable file.
-
- The good news is that this patch will run on your hard drive
- without the need to have your CD-ROM or floppy in the drive!!!!
-
- (should make some very happy)
-
-
- Please remember that if you do run the prog from the hard drive
- that you should edit your Soundstudio.config file to look for
- the paths on your hard drive instead of the CD-ROM/Floppy
-
- For instance: IF using the CD (Floppy is similar) and you place the prog
- into a drawer named OctaMED on your sys: (or DH1: etc), you will need to
- edit the following lines in the config...
-
- (These are only examples)
-
- HelpFile = OctaMED_Soundstudio_CD:Help/OctaMED.Guide
-
- to:
-
- HelpFile = sys:OctaMED/Help/OctaMED.Guide
-
-
- Directory_Songs = "OctaMED_Soundstudio_CD:Soundstudio V1/MODULES"
-
- to:
-
- Directory_Songs = Modules
-
-
- Directory_Instr = "OctaMED_Soundstudio_CD:Soundstudio V1/Samples"
-
- to:
-
- Directory_Instr = sys:OctaMED/Samples
-
-
-
- Directory_ARexxScripts = "OctaMED_Soundstudio_CD:DOCS/rexx"
-
- to:
-
- Directory_ARexxScripts = sys:OctaMED/Rexx
-
-
- (The actual directories you choose depend on your own set-up)
-
-
- Unlike the previous update patch, this one does not have to be launched
- with the original CD (or floppy), that you purchased from us to actualy
- be in your drive prior to it starting.
-
-
- Fixes
- =====
- Since V1.00, these changes have been made:
-
- * OctaMED could sometimes crash after loading a module (only if the Save
- window had been opened before that). now fixed.
- * Use Mixing (MMD) option (Misc. Opts) didn't always work correctly,
- should now be fixed.
- * All Cmd Pages didn't work in Block and Track menus, fixed.
- * Sample editor pointer (in non-mixing mode) might have had wrong speed
- in some screen modes, should be fixed.
- * A new feature in the Notation Editor: When Advance with Voice is set in
- Keyboard Options, right-mouse clicking a line in notation editor plays
- all the notes on that horizontal position (tracker line).
- * Some other minor corrections, some strings changed to be more user-
- friendly, etc.
- * Addition of support for the "soon to be released" Melody Soundcard
