1.0 What? Music Master?

Music Master is a program for playing Midi, wave and CD. There are also
new ideas, like a possibility to be a DJ, go to disco and relax in the
Backstage, by playing different games and sometimes sipping some 
drinks. When we started making this program we did it fully for our own
use, because we thought, that it would be nice to play selected midi 
files in the background when you are working. Then the program became 
so good, that we started to make it better and better. We have seen 
a lot of trouble making this program and we hope that you will 
register it.


1.1 Minimum System

We have seen the program work with 386/25 windows 3.0 system, but in
sensible use minimum system should be

Windows 95 or 98
486/33 
4 mt RAM

1.2 Recommended system

Windows 95 or 98
Pentium 75 or better
8 mt RAM or more
Soundblaster 32 or 64


1.3 General explanations

We don't answer for any direct or indirect damage or harm, neither 
physical nor mental, what our program can do to you, to your computer, to your cat, to your friends,
to your parents, to your car, to your personal relationships or
something like that. We have tested that the program will work in as 
many systems as possible and we didn't see any problems.  




2.0 Music Master in use

Using Music Master is very easy: You just select the files you want 
into the PlayList and then play them or let the computer allot new 
songs. Sometimes you can go to the disco, mix your songs or play games 
in the Backstage. If you want you can also play your cds with the 
CD player.


2.1 The Main window

Adding files into the PlayList:

Choose folder with midi or wave files from DirList, and then click
the file you want in the FileList or choose it and press [Add] button. 
You can also add all files from the FileList to the PlayList by 
pressing [Add all] button.

Removing files from the PlayList:

Choose the file you want in the PlayList and press [Remove] button.
You can also erase the whole PlayList by pressing [Remove all]
button. 


Other buttons:

[Play] = Starts playing a song you have selected. You can do that also
by clicking file in the PlayList.

[Random] = Randomize a new song.

[Pause] = Pauses playing. Playing continues when you press the button
again.

Loop button = With this button you can change the loopmodes.
Possible modes are:
[No loop] = There is no loop.
[Next] = When the song ends, it goes to the next one.
[Loop] = When this is on the program loops the current song.
[Loop all] = When the song ends, the program randomizes a new song.

[Save list] = Saves your PlayList.

[Load list] = Opens an old PlayList.

[Disco] = Starts DiscoMode.

[DJ mix] = Opens your DJ mix board.

[CD player] = Starts CD player.

[BackStage] = Let's go to the BackStage.

[To the Background] = Puts the program to the background.

[Close] = Closes the program.

In the trackbar which is under the PlayList you can see a position
of the song. You can also adjust the position with your mouse.

Hint: You can also modify the name of a song in the PlayList by first 
selecting the song and then pressing backspace.


2.2 DJ mix

In the DJ mix you can "mix" your songs like a real DJ.

Loop action: Press [set position to memory] to set the song's position
to memory. After that, you can loop song from that position by pressing
[Play from memory] button.

[Beepmaster] button = Sets the Beepmaster on. Now, when you move
your mouse you can hear funny sounds from your machine. 

[Vibrato] button = Sets vibrato on or off. 

[The Br] button = Try and be surprised! (Do not get angry!)


2.3 CD player

Open your CD-ROM device, put some good CD in, and play it from the
program. You can also mix CD music and Midi or Wave files.


2.4 Disco

We have no special sayings about disco, play some good songs and
start the party! 

Hint 1: You can change disco screams by editing discolist.txt file. 

Hint 2: By pressing space, a mystique quest can come to disco...


2.5 BackStage

Entertainment:

Veli The Kani: In this game you can destroy those little and "nice" 
bunnies with a pistol, a machine-gun, a Grill, a Particle accelerator 
or a melting pot. By the way, if you have get bored with that picture
of Veli Kani, you can edit it or put some other .bmp file to the
directory of Music Master rename it to velikani.bmp!!!

Darts Master: A round of darts would be always relaxing! Throwing
system is little bit cunning, but training makes the masters! When you
play this game, play the song called "Sound of Finnish cottage"!!!

The WormGame: Take as many apples as you can with your worm but
remember not to touch the walls or yourself! The worm that has a 
record in this game, is always the coolest worm of the place!
