BEATMASTER V1.1                                                  UPDATES.TXT


BeatMaster V1.1 Updates
____________________________________________________________________________

  The main difference between version 1.0 and version 1.1 is the major
   improvement in the functionality of block-manipulation operations.  The
   v1.0 options to 'Select' and 'Remove' events from a block are replaced
   by a 'view-dependant' block system in v1.1.  All block functions now only
   affect events of the type displayed by the current view.  This means, for
   example, you can copy just notes when in NOTE VIEW and controllers when
   in CONTROLLER VIEW.


  Also on the Block menu, there is now the ability to select a 'range' of
   event numbers in certain views (NOTE, CONTROLLER and KEY-AFTERTOUCH).


  And lastly, the options for modifying event values in a block have been
   expanded and simplified.


  Events within the looping part of a track are now displayed as 'shadows'
   of the actual looped events, allowing you to see looped notes etc.


  Multiple tracks can now be 'soloed' instead of just the one.


  Options for loading and updating configuration files have been simplifed.


  Automatic creation and update of a BeatMaster Options file (BEATMAST.CFG)
   to store and reload preferences (MIDI interfaces etc.).


  Overall streamlining and enhancement of the entire program.  The menus
   have been tidied up by ensuring that options are available only when
   relevant to the current view. All code is now shorter and more efficient.
