The*Drums v. 3.50
for Microsoft Windows 3.0
(C) 1992 - Fabio Marzocca
Welcome to the What's New file for The*Drums version 3.50. To install this
version on the v. 3.00 or 3.20, remove all the files from your THEDRUMS
directory and copy the new ones into it. You can keep the old THEDRUMS.INI
file in your Windows directory, as the 3.50 ini file is compatible with it.
If you are a 3.20 registered user, keep your THEDRUMS.INI file, or re-enter
the registration license key.

INSTRUMENT AUTO-GENERATION
==========================
This new feature (menu Edit/Auto-Generator) allows to fill an instrument
pattern automatically and random. This will help in giving a new "Human Feel"
to your patterns, by selecting the percentage of the instrument presence.
Build the essential parts of your rhythm, and then auto-fill a snare, a cup,
or whatever you think could give you much realistic sounds.
TIME-BASE CHANGE
================
From the Settings menu, you can now change the Time-Base for your drum
song (in the previous version it was fixed on 120 ticks per beat). New
time-bases are 15 values ranging from 48 to 768.
INSTRUMENT TESTING
==================
While editing, you can point on one instrument line and press the
RIGHT mouse button. This will sound one shot of the selected instrument.
Nice to hear at the instrument sound if you are not sure about how
it feels.
SONG VECTOR BUTTON
==================
You probably have already noticed this change. Now you can access at
the Song Vector Settings also by pressing this button.
BETTER INSTRUMENTS EDITING
==========================
Now the instrument key is displayed together with the instrument name.
Double-clicking with the left mouse button on the instrument name,
you can directly access to the instrument editing function.
*****************************
BUGS FIXED
*****************************
Now, pressing the space bar while editing the Pattern Name will correctly
insert a new space, instead of simulating a STOP PLAY command.
Switching from one pattern to another has been improved.
