- SoundLib(TM) v1.01
- Copyright (c) 1995 C. Le Brasseur

-
-
- Upgrading from an older release (v0.9 beta or v0.95 beta) to v1.01 :
-
-
- 1) First, you should install SoundLib v1.01, using the supplied install.exe.
- When the install program asks you where to install SoundLib, you may enter
- the same directory as the beta if you want to preserve your midi devices setup
- and working directory (however, v0.9 users will lose the "Ensoniq VFX family"
- entry in their synth setup).
-
- 2) The first time SoundLib v1.01 is launched it will automaticaly shows the
- configuration window. In this window you must check your devices, working
- directory and cakewalk's path (note that the Cakewalk parameter in soundlib.ini
- is now "path" instead of "patches.ini").
-
- 3) Now, you should convert all your libraries to the 1.01 format :
- - open the library to convert,
- - choose "Check Library..." from the Options menu (this is recommanded
- due to potential problems in the beta versions),
- - Save the library
-
- 4) You should take care of the semantic change on the patch card :
- the "status" field has been changed to "favourite" ; so your
- validated cards are now your favourite ones.
- Use the "search" and "view/edit" or "global edit" commands to update
- your libraries.
-
- 5) Optionaly, you may want to use the new set of default categories, notably :
- - "acoustic" has been changed to "instrument"
- - "xx-incomming" changed to "xx-incoming" :-)
-
- However, this will require some work :
-
- If you installed SoundLib in a new directory, theses categories are already in
- "soundlib.ini", otherwise, they can be found in "soundlib.new", so if you want,
- you can move them to "soundlib.ini".
- Now, new libraries will use the new set, but older have their own categories.
- If you want to use the new categories in the older libraries do as follow :
- - open the library,
- - choose "Option/Add default categories",
- - now you can move patches from old categories to new ones by using
- the "Patches/Global/Edit" feature.
-
- NOTE : In SoundLib v1.01, you cannot remove a category from a library, so the
- old categories will stay in the library, even if you don't use them any more.
- A solution should appear in the next release...
