ANNOUNCING WAVmaker 2.4 (http://www.abc.se/~m9303) - MID to WAV rendering and audio FX for Windows 3.1/95/NT - now even better! --------------------------------------------------------------- WAVmaker 2.3 has been superseded by WAVmaker 2.4. Version 2.4 is a FREE upgrade for all registered users of version 2.0-2.3 (Advanced AND Standard). Users with an Advanced registration for versions 2.0-2.3 will still get a free update to the next major release when it becomes available. Compliments of Tommy Anderberg! What's new: - WAV recording has been added. - WAVmaker now "iconizes" (not quite the same as "minimizes") itself, or allows itself to be iconized, when rendering and expanding DFTs, its two most time-consuming operations. At last, you can set it running in the background and forget about it while it does its thing! - In the 32 bit build, the restrictions on file names imposed for backward compatibility with Windows 3.1/DOS have been removed. Windows 3.1/95 users: please bear with me, but Windows 95/NT purists have been insisting on this for some time now. Time to make up your mind...? - The main window now has a "wide" (maximized) mode allowing more space for long filenames. - MID 0 to 1 conversion has been added. Amazingly, some MIDI programs out there only read Level 1, not Level 0!!!!! - The Maximize function under WAV Edit now allows an offset (user, center average or center extrema) to be imposed; amplification can be shut off if you are only interested in the offset. - WAView and PRGed have been updated to reflect the improvements in the corresponding Mellosoftron 1.1 objects. - Various minor, face-lifting changes have been made to the User Interface. - An obscure bug in mono rendering has been fixed (never reported by users - I stumbled on it all by myself - so I guess you won't notice...). - A Print button has been added to the Tutorial window. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 2.4 will be distributed the usual way, as a complete file set, from WAVmaker's Home Page and major FTP sites. The URL for WAVmaker's Home Page is http://www.abc.se/~m9303. COMMON SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: 386+. FPU recommended. High quality sound card (16 bits/44.1 kHz/stereo) strongly recommended. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS (16 BIT): MS Windows 3.1 or higher. 3.6 MB free hard disk space (10+ MB recommended). Disk cache (e.g. SMARTDRV.SYS) recommended. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS (32 bit): MS Windows 95 or NT. 3.3 MB free disk space (10+ MB recommended). If at all possible, use a good amplifier/speaker system (not pitiful PC gamer's speakers) to fully enjoy WAVmaker's CD quality output. Enjoy! Tommy.Anderberg@abc.se http://www.abc.se/~m9303
