12.5.93  (demo v89) - This is the last official e-mail_demo

	    Camouflage is a MIDI-Sequencer/System for your AMIGA

	    It runs on all AMIGAs with KICKSTART 2.0/3.0/4.0 > and

	    - >1MB - Fastram
	    - >512KB - Chipram

- Install:  Copy the camfonts in your FONTS:directory ,
	    then copy the program "Camouflage.demo"
	    and the file "metro" in the same directory (f.e. RAM:).
	    Now you can start Camouflage.demo from CLI or Workbench.

This version is just a demo-version of the sequencer and it has only the
function to show some features of Camouflage.

I know that Camouflage has still about 100.000 bugs but sooner or later
i will find and - eliminate them.

New functions (n) and fixed bugs (b):

- >v84 n version has a screenmode-requester and a palette-requester now
-      n Camouflage can read MIDI-Files (Format 1)

- >v88 b 68000 compatible (80x3-Guru after loading metro-file)
-      n Code is faster, it works better  with multitasking
-      b Many MIDI-Bugs fixed (SYSEX-Guru)
-      b Window-Bug fixed (kills system when clicking outside a Camouflage-window)
-      b Some Gadgets were shaded wrong - fixed
-      n The blockeditor shows loops (blocks) now

- >v89 b Loop-Bug fixed

-      b IMPORTANT

	 Many people wrote us, that Camouflage sends wrong notes,
	 and wrong or no NOTE-OFF's.

	 This bug was a "running-status-bug", which does not works
	 on my KAWAI-K4 (Camouflage-developerkeyboard).  ??????????

	 I found this bug on a KORG-O1/W and killed it two minutes later.
	 ( Very,very,very ugly sound-effects ... )

-      n First tests with subtracks
-      b Event Filter works now correct ( wrong scrolling ... )
-      n blockeditor shows subtracks+subtracks-loops
-      n variable count-in
-      n new windows
-      n you can choose between 192/384/768-ppq
	 ( Note !, slow amigas (500/600) should use 192 ppq, because
	 their 68000er is to slow for 384ppq or more (1.midi-problem)*/

-      n switch on/off running-status

-      n you can manipulate baudrate (+-) !

	 ( I wrote this stuff, because i thought Camouflage sends with
	   a wrong baudrate, but the running-status-bug was it !)

-      b metronome-bug while countin
-      b camouflage works better now with the serial.device, but sometimes
	 the serial.device crashed (3.midi-problem)

	/*
	   Question to a serial freak:

	   How can i send bytes (from interrupt-code) to the
	   customchip-register ( serdat ) without killing the serial.device ?

	*/


	Short introduction to the functions of Camouflage v 1.0
	
	 (1. release summer 93 - German version (German-docs))


-   120 Tracks, each track can be the head of 120 new tracks ... , so
    you can build your own music-structure within the sequencer

			    Trackstructure

TRACKHEAD ( Song - MainTrack)

   |
   V

TRACK 1   (subtrack of TRACKHEAD)
TRACK 2 ---- BLOCK1 ---- SUBTRACK1 ---- BLOCK2 ---- BLOCK3 ---- SUBTRACK2 ....

  .		|	      |  (2.TRACKHEAD of following subtracks)
  .		V	      V
  .
	      Special	       TRACK1 ---->
TRACK 120     block
	      effects	       TRACK ---->
	      (transpose...)   TRACK 120 ---->





-   768 ppq  (68020er=384ppq - 68000er=192ppq)

-   SYSEX-Data (read,save,send,record-editing with the SYSEX-UniEd (future-project) )

-   Editors:

    -	Main-Editor ( Select tracks, switch effects on/off , copy/delete ...) .

    This program will have NO dongle , and NO protection against illegal copies,
    BUT :      TOO many illegal copies mean the end of this project !



    I was a pfc on search patrol huntin' charlie down.
    It was in the jungle wars of 65'.
    My weapon jammed and I got stuck way out and all alone.
    And then a big marine, a giant with a pair of friendly eyes,
    appeared there at my shoulder and said wait.
    I told him my name and asked him his and he said, " the boys
    just call me Camouflage".
    Just be thankful that you're not alone and you got some company
    from a big marine the boy's call Camouflage.
