- (esp. 6 and 7) only on samples, with a high sampling rate. Low rate
- samples may sound wrong or "different".
- - you can now load 4/6/8/16 track .mod, .669, .far, .mtm and .ult !
- - you can use up to 10 file masks for songs and up to 10 for samples !
- - increased the speed of the playback-routine (about 30 times faster ;-) )
- - many small changes are made eg: You can click around in the edit field,
- speeds are displayed, use right mouse-button for fast clicks and many other
- things are done, but I can't remember them all right now :-))
- - fixed some small bugs (like everytime...)
- - fixed "exit ultra wave bug"; on some vga-boards the screen reset didn't
- work propably

- - added stereo-vumeter
- - new funktions: PAN POSITION and CHANGE SIGN (changes signed/unsigned sample
- data, after sample is loaded)

- - added distribution list (if you want to become a dist site, read
- support.ut !!)
- - added this info file, for the non-german speaking people (hope you can
- understand my "great" english) ;-)
- - ! HEY: everybody who wants to register in the future, will receive a
- ! KEY-FILE. With this file, you can use coming shareware versions
- ! of UT without any shareware delays (means no more updating is
- ! needed !!!) !
- ! If you are already registered, send me your disk and about 3$US
- ! (for charge) and you'll receive the latest version and the key !!
-
- - - -
-
- - ATT: Please don't use the following effect(combination)s, until they are
- supported ! You may get in trouble, if you use a future version of UT
- in which the effect(combination) has a function:
- They are: 6, 8, 11, 22, 33, 44, 66, 77, 88, AA, BB, CC, DD !
-
- Hope you understand. Eg: combining AA has no effect on the song,
- because you can't slide down and up, the same time. But in future
- versions of UT this effect (AA) my get an function and if your song
- is full of AA, it may sound wrong !
