Short: MultiMedia Sequencer v1.18 (BugFix)
Author: dlorre@caramail.com (Dominique Lorre)
Uploader: dlorre@caramail.com (Dominique Lorre)
Type: mus/midi
Euterpe is a sequencer for use by bands and home studio musicians. Focus
has been put on composition and Midi interfacing. This version provides a much
better audio support and a documentation update.
The distribution of Euterpe now contains the following files :
Euterpe.lha main archive with 68000 version
Euterpe020.lha contains the 020 optimized executables
Euterpef20.lha contains the 020+fpu optimized executables
EuterpeDeutsch.lha contains the german translation
The recommended method is to unarc the main archive first in order to allow
the optimized executables to overwrite the 68000 ones.
The features are :
File formats :
For sequences : MidiFile type 0 & 1, SMUS (DMCS & SONIX), ProTracker
and ETSF (specific IFF format)

*********************************************************************
Please note that this software is still under development :
some new features might appear later, some described here are not yet
completed and a few other might be removed.
Actually the Midi part is limited for filters.
Euterpe is shareware, you will find all the necessary informations in
the .guide file.
**********************************************************************
Since the previously uploaded version :
When reading AHI preferences, the input selection was not checked.
Direct-To_disk audio samples saved in ETSF format could not be loaded.
The opening of an audio pattern window could generate enforcer hits.
The events window could only support topaz/8 compatible fonts.
The Audio tracks were consuming too much memory : the new option
MAXSAMPLESIZE allows to define the buffers size (old value was 65536 and
was not functioning correctly with 4Mb systems). Please note tha this
value is also used for deciding if your AIFF samples will be loaded in
ram or handled as Direct-To-Disk. MAXSAMPLESIZE=32768 should work fine on
4Mb systems.
Euterpe is now able to function without AHI (USEAHI option). This option
has been provided but is not recommended to use.
The patterns can no more be moved on incompatible tracks.
The icons images are now readen from disk.
The information window has been extended.
New catalogs for hungarian, czech and croatian.
The selection and the moving of patterns has been improved.
Updated documentation
New Icons drawer allowing you to customize Euterpe's icons.
