@{LINE}@{JLEFT}@{LINDENT 4}@{LINE}
@{i}Euterpe contains more than 700 lines to translate@{ui}@{APEN 1}
@{LINE}@{LINE}

To make a new catalog for Euterpe you can follow the following method:
@{LINE}@{LINE}
Ask me before. May be somebody else has started the job and your work will be
fruitless.
In the other hand, you could work in a team.
@{LINE}@{LINE}
Look closely at the files Euterpe.cd and Euterpe_français.ct which are
join with Euterpe's distribution. These are CatComp's files and you should
be used with this utility before going on.
@{LINE}@{LINE}
Euterpe is particular from the other software because the CatComp files are
automatically generated
by a special version of the executable file. Practically this mean that non
translated texts will
appear in the ct file at each new version of Euterpe.
@{LINE}@{LINE}
The name of the messages is globally politically correct ;) :
@{LINE}
All begin by MSG_
@{LINE}
_MENU indicates a menu title
@{LINE}
_REQ indicates a requester message
@{LINE}
_GAD indicates a gadget label, '_' character is for underlining
@{LINE}
_ERR is for an error message
@{LINE}
_FMT is for sprintf formatted strings. Arguments order can not be specified
for now, since there are some floating point formats inside these strings.
@{LINE}@{LINE}
The .guide file is demanding more efforts, that's why you could be two. Further
more, you will need the translated catalog, so you can use the terms that
you can see when using the software. Nodes names need not and MUST NOT
be translated. They need not because they do not appear on display and MUST NOT
because the software will not find same back when the user ask for menu help.

@TITLE "Euterpe's Installation"
@{JCENTER}@{b}Euterpe's Installation@{ub}
@{LINE}@{JLEFT}@{LINDENT 4}@{LINE}
@{i}What you need to know before installing Euterpe@{ui}@{APEN 1}
@{LINE}@{LINE}
The software installation is simply taken in charge by Installer
@{LINE}@{LINE}
A standard 3.0 system is enough for Euterpe's operation. If you want to use
Euterpe on a @{" 2.0 system " link Installer2} you should consult the installation specificities.
@{LINE}@{LINE}
Installation of CAMD.library is not provided by the software
because I do not actually have the license for distributing this library.
Owner of the Developer CD from Amiga Technologies or Electronics Arts Deluxe
Music
will found this library or have it already installed on their system.
You can also download the camd.lha archive from Aminet.
Euterpe will automatically detect the presence of the CAMD and will then
provide you access to its features.
The 2.0 version of the CAMD.library is required because the 1.0 is obsolete.
@{LINE}@{LINE}
AHI should also be installed externally. The minimum version required is 4
and you should not try it with Euterpe if you have a previous version
installed.
@{LINE}@{LINE}
If you do not own the CAMD.library, Euterpe will continue to operate
normally, but will disable some specifics features.
@{LINE}@{LINE}
Please note also that the online help will only function with an AmigaGuide
version >= 39.
Beta-testing has proven that some users have mistakenly installed some
previous versions of this library.

@TITLE "Euterpe Installation on a 2.0 system"
@{JCENTER}@{b}Euterpe Installation on a 2.0 system@{ub}
@{LINE}@{JLEFT}@{LINDENT 4}@{LINE}
@{i}For the users of the V37 and V38 of the operating system@{ui}@{APEN 1}
@{LINE}@{LINE}
Euterpe will not function with a standard V37 or V38 system.
@{LINE}@{LINE}
Since Euterpe makes use of the realtime.library, you will need the special
version
of this file for the 2.0. Actually I do not have the license rights which
will
allow me to distribute this file with the software. Owners of Amiga
Technologies Developer CD
will find this file in the CD.
@{LINE}@{LINE}
With a 2.0 system the online help has been disabled.
@{LINE}@{LINE}
Some minor troubles may appear in the display. Please note that a 4 colour
screen has been allowed only because of the Productivity ECS screen mode, in
fact
the correct display will need at least 8 colors.
@{LINE}@{LINE}
With a V37 system the locale.library is missing so the only language
available will be english.
@{LINE}@{LINE}
I have also recently removed the language icons of the Installer scripts,
this means that under V37, the installation language will be english, unless
you add this tooltype :
LANGUAGE=français
in the icon. Of course, you should replace français by the language of
your choice.
@{LINE}@{LINE}
This software is regularly tested on an Amiga 600 V38+ECS.
Note however that most of the tests are done with a 3.0 system, so a few
problems
might be unknown of me.

@TITLE "The Midi Files"

@{LINE}@{JLEFT}@{LINDENT 4}@{LINE}
@{i}The Midi Files are very important in the exchange of MIDI datas between
different kinds of hardware and software.
@{ui}@{APEN 1}
@{LINE}@{LINE}

The @{APEN 3}Standard MidiFile (SMF)@{APEN 1} allows the transfer
of datas between different types of sequencers.
@{LINE}
Three formats already exist :
@{LINE}@{LINE}
The format 0 is single track : every datas are on a single track.
@{LINE}@{LINE}
The format 1 is multi tracks : one track is dedicated to a channel
and a supplementary track is created to manage the Tempo changes.
@{LINE}@{LINE}
The format 2 is multi patterns : not recognised by Euterpe.

@{LINE}@{JLEFT}@{LINDENT 4}@{LINE}
@{i}The GM, GS and XG formats allow the recognition of sounds and instruments
employed for a music part.@{ui}@{APEN 1}
@{LINE}@{LINE}

The @{APEN 3}General MIDI (GM)@{APEN 1}
, the @{APEN 3}Roland GS@{APEN 1} and the @{APEN 3}Yamaha XG@{APEN 1} formats define a standard for the
sounds used by a synthetiser and notes for a drum kit.
The GS format is an extension of the GM format from the manufacturer Roland.
The XG format is an extension of the GM format from the manufacturer Yamaha,
not yet recognized by Euterpe but you can still create instruments for your XG banks.
@{LINE}@{LINE}
@{u}Euterpe knows about the GM/GS formats and allows you to know which
instruments had been employed. Further more, with the help of the Drum
instrument you can also determine which DrumKit elements had been used.

if your sampler is using the Amiga main processor : a too high rate could
hang your machine. In all cases you should be able to sample at 8000Hz, which
is not enough for a good record quality but fine for composing or arranging
a song. Audio recording uses the same principles than @{" Midi recording " link EnrMIDI}.

@{i}MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface and its
specifications tell how the datas are travelling between a network of
machines composing a network.
@{ui}@{APEN 1}
@{LINE}@{LINE}
On the Amiga, this datas are generally using the serial interface and
need a MIDI interface or a serial cable for linking two Amigas.
This is how Euterpe was functionning in the first time.
@{LINE}@{LINE}
The actual version allows you to access as many Midi networks as you have
serial ports and you can also open virtual Midi accesses on other CAMD
applications.
@{LINE}@{LINE}
This Midi accesses are defined as input and output and defined by a name
(e.g. : serial.device) and a unit number (0 is default unit). The same
access or a different access can be used in input and output.
The accesses are used by Midi and Drum instruments and can be edited
by the menu Edit -> Midi Access. You will notice a list with a selected entry :
the access which is selected is the default one, used for the edition and other
operations (such as Midi Testing) where Instruments are not taken into account.
@{LINE}@{LINE}
The use of the CAMD.library will allow you to create internal accesses
to transmit MIDI datas to other CAMD software or to CAMD Midi drivers.
For example, you can create a Midi access (called Cluster) that will be used
as an output for Euterpe and as an input for another CAMD software (such as
a MIDI effect processor) which will then transform the datas and send them
to the MIDI interface or to another software.

@TITLE "Audio (AHI)"
@{JCENTER}@{b}Audio (AHI)@{ub}
@{LINE}@{JLEFT}@{LINDENT 4}@{LINE}
@{i}Audio with Euterpe is functionning in two ways : like a Midi instrument
or as a single sample.
@{ui}@{APEN 1}
@{LINE}@{LINE}
Euterpe being dedicated to become a full-featured software,
the Audio routines constitute a big part of the application.
@{LINE}@{LINE}
in the first time, this routines were based on audiotools routines
of Rob Peck, which may be a little old but are still the best
way to use the audio.device.
@{LINE}@{LINE}
Historically, these routines are tied to the IFF 8SVX and IFF SMUS file
formats. The samples are defining octaves and an array say which
octave must be used for each of the 128 Midi notes. These samples also
have an introduction part played once and a repeat part, played again until
the end of the note.
@{LINE}@{LINE}
This mecanism has been greatly enhanced by the introduction of
the Dissidents's SAMP format which brings the possibility of using
resolutions from 8 to 32 bits, a varying number of channels (IFF 8SVX format
is at most stereophonic) and do not define octaves anymore but a set of
waves for each of the 128 notes. This great format did not encounter much
success, probably because of it's complexity and also because some fields
are missing to make it really perfect (For example, a 435 Hz A can not be
differenciated from a 440 Hz A because the note is defined as a Midi index).
Euterpe is however internally very close to the SAMP format.
@{LINE}@{LINE}
Actually, Euterpe is able of reading the following formats : IFF 8SVX
and IFF AIFF. Other formats can be imported with the DataTypes (3.0 or + needed), in this case
they will be converted to IFF 8SVX (8 bits).
@{LINE}@{LINE}
The new AHI system is a great enhancement concerning the number of audio
channels and the sounds resolution. It's major advantage is the possibility
to interface transparently not only the Amiga internal audio but also
most of the sound cards available on the market. With AHI, it is now possible
to define a new audio format.
@{LINE}@{LINE}
audio.device support has been removed because of the difficulty of implementing
the double-buffered reading and also because of the impossibility of setting
volume, frequency and panoramics without accessing the hardware.
Since the AHI support routines have been greatly enhanced, the loss of quality
of some 8 bits samples will be certainly be solved by a better selection of your audio driver.
@{LINE}@{LINE}
If you use AHI, then it will be possible to configure more than one Audio
output with the menu Edit -> Audio Access. The default access will be
the one selected in the list.

@{i}Since you may ask some questions about this software, here are some answers.
@{ui}@{APEN 1}
@{LINE}@{LINE}
@{APEN 3}How to set the locators ?@{APEN 1}
@{LINE}
Go to the wanted position and then simply click on the record button. Select then
the locator you want to set.
@{LINE}@{LINE}
@{APEN 3}What are external controls ?@{APEN 1}
@{LINE}
Theses controls are for those of you which want to bring their Amiga on stage !
In this case a simple three buttons mouse connected on the joystick port will allow you
to control the functions of your needs.
Those who have some electronic knowledge will be able to easily make some kind of
foot pedal.
@{LINE}@{LINE}
@{APEN 3}What is navigation screen for ?@{APEN 1}
@{LINE}
When a band starts a practice session, maybe one musician doesn't know the
song structure or may be the singer forgot the texts ...
Navigation screen is here for introducing useful informations when the song
is performing (it sure can do karaoke but this is not my cup of tea).
@{LINE}
This can be also be useful on stage if you want to add some visual effects
to your compositions... (notice that this screen is genlock aware)
@{LINE}@{LINE}
@{APEN 3}What is OUI ?@{APEN 1}
@{LINE}
OUI means Object User Interface. This is a collection of C++ functions designed
to make GUI programming easy. A simple dialog box is made with OUI in less than
fifty lines of code. OUI has nothing to see with UIK, MUI or the others. It is
even possible to interface OUI with any of those... The (awful ;)) OUI gadgets
are simply BOOPSI gadgets that I wrote to enhance a little my interface.
May be one day I will give OUI to the public domain but it is not my priority.
Tell me if you want things speeded up.

The main screen of Euterpe is a public and its name is Euterpe.
If the application is quitting and if windows that do not depend of
the application (known as visitor windows) are still there, Euterpe
will ask you to close them. If the windows are still present after
that, Euterpe will free everything but will let the screen opened.
If later, you load again Euterpe then the application will use this
screen instead of creating another one.

The text display is made on a so called Navigation screen which is also
used by external controls. If you select the Navigation screen active
option this screen will pass in the foreground at each play and then
to the background at each stop. If the option inactive the screen
will stay in the background.
