- QUACK Sound Effects Studio V2.0 Shareware
- ------------------------------------------
-
- Thanks for all your suggestions on earlier versions of QUACK.
-
- RELEASE NOTES
- -------------
-
- This version of QUACK is shareware. Please read the information under
- Help|Registration, and register within 30 days if you wish to continue using
- the product. You will then receive version 2.1 or later as soon as it is
- available.
-
- If you have previously registered for any version of QUACK, you do NOT need
- to register again to upgrade your current version.
-
-
- New features since V1.5
- ------------------------
-
- QUACK version 2.0 has a number of major new features:
-
- Fourier Synthesis - create your own waveforms in an easy to use
- dialog box.
-
- Mixer - mix up to 4 signals. This adds to the merger and modulator
- componants already available, of course.
-
- Constant - a handy way of producing a constant value signal, if you
- ever need to.
-
- Compact view - cram more componants onto your screen to help when
- editing complicated patch maps.
-
- New features since V1.03
- ------------------------
-
- These new features have been available since V1.5 (just for those
- of you who are upgrading from V1.03):
-
- Full visual editing, and a number of user interface improvements, make V1.5
- much, much easier to use. For instance:
-
- - create your componants from the Componants palette (enabled by the
- View|Componants menu)
- - connect componants with the mouse. Click on the first (output) componant
- and drag to the other componant.
- - edit a componant by double clicking on it.
- - click the right mouse button on a componant to popup a menu to delete
- connections and componants.
-
- WAV file import - incorporate real sound samples in amongst all the other
- electronic effects already available in QUACK. You now have a powerful (and
- visual) sound processing engine.
-
- Test your sounds from within QUACK. The "Play" button works!!! Now you can
- choose a working file in advance, then your modify-create-play loop becomes
- quick and easy. No more incessant "File Save" dialogs.
-
-

- Help file, did not quite make it into this release.

-
- Feedback
- --------
-
- We would like to know if you find bugs, or have ideas for how QUACK could be
- improved.
-
- We are also interested to know who is using QUACK, what for, and what they
- think about it, so that we can develop QUACK is the right direction.
-
- Also, if you develop any killer Patch Maps which you would like to share
- with the world, why not send them in? We will include the best with the next
- release.
