Version 1.1
============================================================================
WHAT IS IN THE DRAWER
---------------------
Papio-Music the launcher: opens the programs of the pack, each on
the screen and in the part of it you chose
Composito music scores: write notes with the mouse on a staff or
a guitar tablature, add chords, listen; opens MusicXML
and Guitar Pro, saves MusicXML, exports MIDI
Resonance the instrument: play a grand piano, 128 SoundFont
instruments or a synthesizer with the mouse or the
computer keyboard, play MIDI files, record as WAV
Amplitude sound editing: opens every format MorphOS reads, shows
the waveform, cuts, pastes, applies effects, plays;
saves WAV, AIFF or 8SVX
Pulsio the drum machine: click the steps of a grid, start
from a style or "Surprise me", chain patterns into a
song; exports MIDI and WAV
Papio-RegTool registration: pick an offer and register - one window
Each program has its own readme in its own drawer, and its user manual in
the Docs drawer, in the 16 languages of the pack: the "?" button at the top
right of its window opens it. This readme is only about the pack.
INSTALLING
----------
Copy the Papio-Music drawer wherever you like. Nothing is written outside
it: the settings of every program go to its Settings drawer.
All the programs speak 16 languages and follow the language chosen in the
Locale preferences. Sound goes through AHI: set a sound output in the AHI
preferences.
The General MIDI instruments of Composito, Resonance and Pulsio need
fluidsynth.library (FluidSynth, by BeWorld). If it is not installed, the
first of them to start offers to download it from morphos-storage.net and
runs its own installer, which puts it in SYS:Libs.
FROM ONE PROGRAM TO THE OTHER
-----------------------------
The programs follow the path of a piece of music:
1. Composito write the melody, then "Listen in Resonance" (Amiga+R)
2. Pulsio make the rhythm, then "Listen in Resonance" or "Open in
Amplitude"
3. Resonance give it a sound - piano, SoundFont, synthesizer - play
along, and record it as WAV
4. Amplitude Resonance's waveform button opens the recording: cut,
fade, normalise, save
When the next program is already open, the work goes to its window;
otherwise it is started.
THE DEMO
--------
Every program in the pack is a demo. Everything can be tried; what needs a
registration is keeping your work: saving or exporting a score in Composito,
recording in Resonance, saving a sound in Amplitude, saving or exporting a
rhythm in Pulsio. Composito and Pulsio can still send their work to
Resonance to listen to it. The title bar says "Demo" until
the program is registered.
Registration follows your MorphOS registered user name -- there is no key to
type. Open Papio-RegTool and pick your offer; you then receive the pack with
the programs you registered for, unlocked.

Third-party material, each with its licence beside it, in
Composito/resources, Shared/Piano and Shared/SoundFonts: the Bravura
music font (Steinberg, SIL Open Font License), the GeneralUser GS SoundFont
(S. Christian Collins) and the Salamander Grand Piano samples (Alexander
Holm, CC BY 3.0). Composito, Resonance and Pulsio play their General MIDI
instruments through fluidsynth.library (FluidSynth 2.6.1, MorphOS port by
BeWorld - thanks!, LGPL 2.1). It is not in this archive: if it is missing,
the first start offers to download it from morphos-storage.net and runs its
own installer.
The keyboard of Resonance is the MUI class Piano.mcc by Tcheko (Antoine
