1. Introduction

	The DrumFlow is powerful drum sequencer. You can use the DrumFlow
to edit Drum Setup (for GS or XG MIDI) parameters by NRPN controllers.
The DrumFlow allows you to create custom percussion parts with adjustable
drums and then to export these parts to your MIDI editor (e.g. Cakewalk or
Cubase) through the clipboard or MIDI file. 

	MIDI musicians always want to get good drum sounds and patterns.
It is tricky to make fine drum parts in MIDI. Composers use the digitalized
samples of drumbeats, called 'loops'. Pure MIDI can't have any digital
sound but can only have MIDI events and controllers. Here comes
my program: it is an ideal way to create MIDI drumloops!

2. Terms of use

	This version of the program is freeware. You are allowed to use it
without restrictions only for non-commercial use. No payment of any kind may
be charged for this product without my own authorisation and official
written license. This program or the data files contained therein may not
be altered or modified without my own permission too. You take full
responsibility for the operation of this software and any consequences
thereof. I cannot accept liability for damages or failures arising from the
use of this software.

3. Requirements

	486 processor or higher;
	Windows 95/98, Windows NT or higher;
	GS or XG MIDI output device for full support or
	Any MIDI output device for drum sequencer features only;
	Mouse or other pointing device;
	1 Mb of free HDD space;
	8 Mb or RAM.

4. How to install the DrumFlow?

	Just run the main file (DFLOWxxx.EXE, xxx is version number
[xxx=170]). Installation program will copy files to DrumFlow's
directory, like
	C:\Program Files\DrumFlow
If previous version was installed just overwrite old files. Installation
program will continue and ask you about shortcuts and so on. After that,
installation is over and you can run the program.

5. How to uninstall the DrumFlow?

	To uninstall the program use 'Uninstall DrumFlow' item from
DrumFlow group. The uninstall process creates short 'DFUNINST.EXE' file
in Windows's directory and will delete it after rebooting, but rebooting after
uninstall is NOT necessary procedure. This operation may wait to your next
restarting.

6. More information

	1. I've included some of my DFA example files in this version.

give credits.
