WiseTrax + WiseTracker  -  v0.2.2 (Public Beta)
================================================

Thanks for trying this out! This download has TWO things in it, built from the
same tracker:

  WiseTrax.vst3     - the plugin. Load it in your DAW (Reason, etc.).
  WiseTracker.exe   - the standalone app. Just run it, no DAW needed.

They are the same tracker / sampler / engine in two forms. A .wise song you save
in one opens in the other.


INSTALL THE PLUGIN (WiseTrax.vst3)
----------------------------------
Copy the "WiseTrax.vst3" folder into your VST3 folder:

  C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\

Then rescan plugins in your DAW and add WiseTrax on an instrument track.


RUN THE STANDALONE (WiseTracker.exe)
------------------------------------
Just double-click WiseTracker.exe - nothing to install. The first time, open
Menu -> Audio settings and pick your sound card (and a MIDI input if you have
one). That is it.


FIRST FEW MINUTES
-----------------
- Drag a sound file (WAV / AIFF / FLAC / OGG) onto the waveform strip - it plays.
- Or drag in a tracker module - a FastTracker .xm OR an Amiga ProTracker .mod:
  an import box shows the song info and lets you choose how it plays (Authentic =
  like the original, or Wise = smoothed out). It loads as a full, editable song.
- Press Play (the transport bar, or your DAW). Press Space to edit, then type on
  the QWERTY keys to enter notes.
- Open Help from the Menu any time - there is a What's New page and short guides
  for everything.


WHAT'S NEW IN 0.2.2
-------------------
- Import Amiga ProTracker .mod files - drag one in (or use Menu -> Import
  module), the same import box as .xm, loaded as a full editable song with
  faithful Amiga pitch.
- Imported modules play more faithfully: slide-to-note lands on the right note
  even when the row doesn't restate the instrument (the normal way .mod files
  write a pitch slide), note-delay / retrigger / tremor land at the right moment
  within the row, effect memory is honoured, and notes revive, re-pan and fade
  out correctly on release.
- All of this is Authentic-style playback; Wise style and your own songs are
  unaffected.

Full notes are in Help -> What's New, or in CHANGELOG.txt next to this file.


IT'S A BETA
-----------
Expect rough edges and the odd bug. If something breaks or feels off, please
tell me - the more specific you can be, the better.
