New features in this version: ----------------------------- 1 * At last! A decent audition keyboard that you can click on with the mouse to listen to patches. However, you must register to be able to use this feature! (See the help file for details on registering.) - Single key/single click chord play - Chord recognition for external MIDI keyboard input - Digital display of which patch is currently loaded 2 * MIDI input device selection. Now you can choose a different input device if you don't use your UltraSound card for MIDI input. (Registered feature only.) 3 * Coloured instrument listbox entries, depending on the instrument status. Green for Remapped, Blue for Gravis, Gray for Undefined, and Red for instruments for which a custom patch has been installed. (Mapped previously.) 4 * New File menu commands - Delete and Rename. (Together with an option "Query On Delete" for whether or not to confirm each delete operation - registered feature only though.) 5 * New Edit menu command for those of you who like to jam away on your keyboard - Cache All Drum Patches. (Also, now all MIDI output goes to channel 1 or 10.) 6 * "Previous Dir" button - return to the last directory after having clicked "Zoom to Dir". (Registered feature only.) 7 * "Install Moves File" really MOVES the file where possible, rather than just copy and delete. 8 * Smarter "Install" button for putting patches into instrument directories. 9 * New tutorial section in the help file for those having difficulties in understanding how PatchEZE works, or how to use PatchEZE to manage custom patches. 10 * New /SG and /SC options in DIRSET, for switching to make sure the MIDI directory holds either Gravis or Custom patches respectively. Useful for in batch files. (DIRSET /SG before using MegaEM/Emuset, for example.) Bug fixes: ---------- 1 * PatchEZE now works with read only files properly. (It didn't recognize them as patches before, and could cause problems during installation. All we can say is... oops, sorry! :) 2 * BLANK.PAT now copied correctly in the MIDI directory when defining new instruments, so Emuset should now work properly. 3 * Install/Map button graying problem fixed. 4 * Size static problem fixed.
