* OctaMED - the 8 channel MED, V2.0 by Teijo Kinnunen in 1991 *
* *
* This Freely Distributable version 1st March 1993 *
* *
* *
****************************************************************************
This is an obsolete version of the OctaMED music editor, now released into
free distribution. The latest commercial version of OctaMED is V4.0,
of which wholesale distribution is handled by RBF Software.
It goes without saying realy that the latest OctaMED V4 has had so many
alterations that if you intend purchasing this version you are advised
to also obtain the manual as well. (see price details further on).
OctaMED is a music editor, which is originally designed for making music
for programs (demos, games etc..), but it works well as a stand-alone music
program too. OctaMED V2.0 is the "big brother" of MED V3.20 music editor.
OctaMED V2.0 needs Kickstart 1.2 or later, is compatible with AmigaDOS 2.0,
runs on any Amiga, and multitasks correctly (even in 8-channel mode).
Here are the contents of the complete OctaMED distribution disk:
Demos (dir) A demo song (try it first)
Docs (dir) Documents
SynthSounds(dir) Some synthetic sounds
Programmers (dir) Stuff for programmers
PlayerLibraries (dir) shared player libraries
MODPlayer (dir) linked module player/loader stuff
Examples (dir) some examples in Assembler & C
OctaMED The music editor
OctaMEDPlayer The player program

The icons were designed to look nice under V2.0 of Workbench. If you are
using WB 1.x (as most people still are), the icon colours look "inversed".
First you should make a backup copy of your original OctaMED disk, and save
the original in safe place. If you want to install OctaMED on a hard disk,
you have to remember to copy the file "OctaMED.gfx1" along with it. This
file contains some graphics data required by OctaMED. It must be in the
current directory when you run OctaMED. If WB is used, just make sure that
OctaMED and OctaMED.gfx1 are located in the same drawer. From CLI/Shell,
you have to 'CD' to the directory where the both files are before starting
OctaMED.
And now, very important text is coming. Don't close your eyes :^) !!!!!
