# TIPS

    	-The visible view can be changed quite much.

    		-When starting radium, use the "-config" option to select
    		 screen-mode, and standard font.

    		-Press Right-Amiga + c to change edit-font, and other things.

    		-Press Right-Amiga + C to change the screen-colors.

    		-All track-widths can be changed. Just point the mouse-cursor
    		 to a note-track, and drag. This also goes for the reltempo-
    		 track.

    	-If you wish you had more midi-channels to play with, try letting
    	 two patches with different preset share the same channel.

    	 This will work nice if:
    	 1. You have a synth that supports it. (you just have to try)
    	 2. The patches does not use the same note-number simultaniously.
    	    Thats a limitation of the midi-standard and nothing I can do about.
    		 The result might be that one sound ends before its supposed
    		 to and another one lasts forever. For drums, this technique should allways work.

    	 Alltough this is something other programs often can't do,
    	 (F.ex octamed ;) ), its not magic. Its just a matter of letting
    	 the program automaticly changing the
    	 preset right before sending a note-on message when the
    	 preset for the patch is different from what was last used for the channel.

    	-Its incredibly how much a moderate use of the reltempo nodes can
    	 make a song more "real". As an example, try slowing down the tempo
    	 a little at the end of a staff. Not to much, perhaps. But, even
    	 a more "random" use of the reltempo nodes can give really nice results.
    	 (I shouldn't really tell about this teqnuique, but I guess you had found
    	  out about it yourself sooner or later anyway. :)

    	-To "unfold" (minimize) all tracks, so that you can see more of whats going
    	 on, press Ctrl+m, and after that perhaps Ctrl+n. I do that a lot.

    	-If you still haven't found out, selecting the patch for a track
    	 can also be done by pressing the "HELP"-key instead of using the
    	 mouse to press the "New"-button in the camd patch properties editor,
    	 or using the slider to select an allready used patch.

    	-If you want to stop a note, but don't want to use the "STP"-"note",
    	 just go into the "fx-area", and press "DEL" there instead. The note
    	 will end at the cursor position, but a "STP"-"note" will not be
    	 added.

    	-In case you aren't allready familiar with the "swap track"-function,
    	 you should become familiar with it now. With a bit of practice, reconfiguring
    	 a block will become much more effective than using the normal destructive
    	 "cut and paste" technique that often requires you to have a spare-track
    	 to store tracks.
