What's new with jambient
May 30, 2001

jambient is now released!
-------------------------
jambient has been through a stable beta 
period nearly a year long, with 
thousands of downloads on our site and on 
the web. It was in stable use in 
performance for more than two years. 
before the beta release.

The text of the help file is complete, but 
will be in for another round of editing.

The help file now includes a graphical Quick 
Guide which gives an overview of using jambient,
as well as Flash Tutorials and most of the 
graphics that we eventually want to put into 
the file.

At this point we want to see what kind of 
support we will get from the community of
jambient users. Support us, buy jambient!


Registering
---------------------------
jambient will run for 30 days and then time out.

You can register jambient through RegNow.com
for only $50 US, which gives you a license
for unlimited use of this version and all 
subsequent versions of jambient.

Future releases
---------------------------
For the next release, we plan an improved timing
and pattern mechanism, with accompanying changes
to the interface. The new pattern mechanism 
will let you lay out LoopTrack events in time, 
and draw pitch and volume curves, as with the current
version of jambient. Our aim is to make something
cross between a drum machine and an audio
montage layout program, keeping jambient's
commitment to micro-rhythms and ambient
music, but also letting you snap loops
to a beat, if you want.

In future releases we may integrate new capabilities
that come with DirectX8. Stay tuned for details
and let us know what you think of jambient.
