-When pressing the "New" button in the "CAMD Patch Properties" window,
or pressing the Help-key, only a new CON-window shows up and closes again.
-You don't have any midi-driver in devs:midi/.
-Adding notes when playing seems to be a bit, eh, not good....
-A better player-routine that handles such things better will
hopefully be made later.
-How about adding sample-support?
-I haven't got any motivation for doing that in the amiga-version. However, the source is open,
so anyone who wants to implement anything; just go ahead. Implementing
sample-support with the help of AHI should be a pretty easy job. Adding
things like this is made to be very easy in the Radium-source (oo-design),
but I haven't documented anything about how though. I will, if you ask.
-A workaround is to use a softsynth controlled by camd, or send midi-signals
to Bars'n'Pipes, also with the help of camd.
-How do I edit, play, load, save, exit, etc?
-Look at the menues at the help-menu for key-bindings. All the basic
functions you expect to find in a music-program, and a lot of others,
are "documented" there. However, if there is anything in the help-menues
you have no idea what is for, please tell me and I will try to make some
more understandable documentation in this manual.
-Why aren't there any menues? The program would be so much better with menues.
-No, I don't think it wouldn't. You (and me too) would get to tempted to use menues when
not remembering a key-binding. Menues are deadly slow compaired
to using the keyboard. (no, this is not because of laziness by the programmer,
implementing menues would only take me about 2 hours or so).
-A key-binding does not work! I'm 99% shure.
-You probably have a system-commodity that uses one of the key-bindings
used in Radium. You either have to reconfigure the keybinding for the
commodity, or the keybinding for the radium-function (edit the
bin/keybindings.conf file).
If thats not your problem, please contact me. Could be a typo in the
Help-menues or this manual (happened _a lot_ of times before).
-How do I reset Midi?
-In the menues in the "CAMD patch properties" window.
-How do I turn off this annoying playing of sounds when scrolling up and down
in the editor with the arrow-keys?
-Press Ctrl+L1L.
-Why can't I recieve any midi?
-Have you tried pressing the ESC key?
-If you are not receiving midi from mmp.in.0, you must change
the file radium:inlinkname.txt to point to the inlink you want to use.
OR! Use the menues in the "CAMD patch properties" window. Perhaps a bit easier,
as you have to be very careful with spaces/newlines in the inlinkname.txt file.
-Everything is so slow!
-Due to bad programming (a new player-routine will be made later), more
midi-signals can be sent out for effects and polyphonic aftertouch than
a standard midi-interface is able to handle. This can be solved a bit by NOT
using the 14bit-type-of effects.
-However, to make your machine go faster, here are some tips:
-Install Execute. This will at least help the machine from locking the mouse, etc.
-Set the priority of input.device to around 70. Now your mouse won't
be slow. (Installing Execute could be a better solution, though)
-Turn off window-update when playing. This is done by pressing Left alt + 1L1.
-If you are sending midi to Bars'n'Pipes, just send notes, not effects, if
you can. To easely only make track with effects, be shure your cursor are
in (one of) the fx subtrack(s) when copying/cuting and pasting.
-Click on the graphical track that shows the tempo to remove it. It helps a lot.
-What does "1L1" mean?
-The key that is placed 1 key to the Left for 1. (The one above TAB)
