- 12.5.93 (demo v89) - This is the last official e-mail_demo
-
- Camouflage is a MIDI-Sequencer/System for your AMIGA
-
- It runs on all AMIGAs with KICKSTART 2.0/3.0/4.0 > and
-
- - >1MB - Fastram
- - >512KB - Chipram
-
- - Install: Copy the camfonts in your FONTS:directory ,
- then copy the program "Camouflage.demo"
- and the file "metro" in the same directory (f.e. RAM:).
- Now you can start Camouflage.demo from CLI or Workbench.
-
- This version is just a demo-version of the sequencer and it has only the
- function to show some features of Camouflage.
-
- I know that Camouflage has still about 100.000 bugs but sooner or later
- i will find and - eliminate them.
-
- New functions (n) and fixed bugs (b):
-
- - >v84 n version has a screenmode-requester and a palette-requester now
- - n Camouflage can read MIDI-Files (Format 1)
-
- - >v88 b 68000 compatible (80x3-Guru after loading metro-file)
- - n Code is faster, it works better with multitasking
- - b Many MIDI-Bugs fixed (SYSEX-Guru)
- - b Window-Bug fixed (kills system when clicking outside a Camouflage-window)
- - b Some Gadgets were shaded wrong - fixed
- - n The blockeditor shows loops (blocks) now
-
- - >v89 b Loop-Bug fixed
-
- - b IMPORTANT
-
- Many people wrote us, that Camouflage sends wrong notes,
- and wrong or no NOTE-OFF's.
-
- This bug was a "running-status-bug", which does not works
- on my KAWAI-K4 (Camouflage-developerkeyboard). ??????????
-
- I found this bug on a KORG-O1/W and killed it two minutes later.
- ( Very,very,very ugly sound-effects ... )
-
- - n First tests with subtracks
- - b Event Filter works now correct ( wrong scrolling ... )
- - n blockeditor shows subtracks+subtracks-loops
- - n variable count-in
- - n new windows
- - n you can choose between 192/384/768-ppq
- ( Note !, slow amigas (500/600) should use 192 ppq, because
- their 68000er is to slow for 384ppq or more (1.midi-problem)*/
-
- - n switch on/off running-status
-
- - n you can manipulate baudrate (+-) !
-
- ( I wrote this stuff, because i thought Camouflage sends with
- a wrong baudrate, but the running-status-bug was it !)
-
- - b metronome-bug while countin
- - b camouflage works better now with the serial.device, but sometimes
- the serial.device crashed (3.midi-problem)
-
- /*
- Question to a serial freak:
-
- How can i send bytes (from interrupt-code) to the
- customchip-register ( serdat ) without killing the serial.device ?
-
- */
-
-

-
- I was a pfc on search patrol huntin' charlie down.
- It was in the jungle wars of 65'.
- My weapon jammed and I got stuck way out and all alone.
- And then a big marine, a giant with a pair of friendly eyes,
- appeared there at my shoulder and said wait.
- I told him my name and asked him his and he said, " the boys
- just call me Camouflage".
- Just be thankful that you're not alone and you got some company
- from a big marine the boy's call Camouflage.
