ABOUT reViSiT ====================================================

VSTrack is the ultimate union of sequencing and tracking. reViSiT
is a VST Instrument (VSTi) plug-in for VST-hosts (such as
sequencers) that provides a tracker interface, based on Impulse
Tracker II, to the user.
 Unlike normal VSTi's which simply take MIDI input, reViSiT's
editor window is a tracker interface, which takes on the role of
the 'music sequencer' - synthesizing both music and sound.

TESTED, THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED AS IS.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS ========================================

The plug-in is provided in .dll binary format, for Windows*, and
must be copied to the user's vstplugins directory, before the VST
host is loaded.
 In the host, reViSiT is listed as one of the VST Instruments
(VSTi's). Simply select it to load the plug-in.

* Other platforms may be supported in subsequent releases.

GETTING STARTED ==================================================

reViSiT features an integrated help system*, which can be accessed
by pressing F1, inside the program. The pattern editor (F2) is a
good place to start - the first of its help pages gives a quick
guide to the principles of tracking.

* Development has outpaced documentation, and thus there are many
features, shortcuts, and even effects not mentioned in the current
help pages. Users are recommended to check the UPDATE HISTORY or
the nashNET Forums @ http://forum.nashnet.co.uk for information on
how to use new features.

			rest to the host (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+'K' -
			problematic in some hosts).

			intercepts all key input to the host with-
			out passing on. Can be enabled / disabled
			whenever keyboard input is needed.

		streamlining and enlargement.
	[FIX]	Numerous additional performance improvements. This
		version now up to 400% faster than v0.84.
	[FIX]	Muting/Soloing now takes effect during playback.
	[DEL]	Prototype Song Variables screen disabled.

v0.84.2	[FIX]	Misc. performance improvements [not released].

v0.84.1	[FIX] 	Sample loading bug resolved.

v0.84		Initial Alpha Release for Cubase SX.

GETTING FURTHER SUPPORT ==========================================

Before seeking further help, please review the contents of this
readme.txt (the release notes) - many frequently asked questions
(FAQ) are answered here (see KNOWN ISSUES / WORK IN PROGRESS
section). Failing that, there should be a number of knowledgable
people (including myself) on the nashNET Forums
(http://forum.nashnet.co.uk) who may be able to help you with your
problem. If all else fails, users can contact me at
vst@nashnet.co.uk, and I will endeavour to answer your queries.

SUPPORTED HOSTS ==================================================

Details of supported VST Hosts can now be found at:
http://www.nashnet.co.uk/english/revisit/faq.htm#hosts

KNOWN ISSUES / WORK IN PROGRESS ==================================

Go to http://www.nashnet.co.uk/english/revisit/faq.htm for more 
questions and answers. The following issues are known in the
current version:

* "How do I...?" / "The help system does not work."
  --> The full documentation will be added during the beta stages,
      before v1.0, but for the time being there are a few things
      to do: check the Update History (above) for mention of
      features and their shortcuts; check the Impulse Tracker 2
      documentation - reViSiT tries to mirror the functionality
      and control methods of this older tracker; post a question
      on the forum.

* "The mouse doesn't work."
  --> The current version of reViSiT has 95% of mouse support for
      controls - and more support than Impulse Tracker 2. The only
      remaining support to be completed is the Pattern Editor.
      All program functions, however, should still be accessible
      using the keyboard. 

* "reViSiT doesn't work on <your VST Host>."
  --> Most hosts are supported, though sometimes they need a
      little tweaking. Further details can now be found at:
      http://www.nashnet.co.uk/english/revisit/faq.htm#hosts
      If you are still experiencing problems with a host, email
      revisit@nashnet.co.uk with a description of your problems.

* "The first row sometimes doesn't play or sounds different, when
  playing from the VST host's transport bar."
  --> This is not a problem with reViSiT. Some VST Hosts, upon
      rewind, do not return to absolute zero themselves. reViSiT
      v0.87 includes a workaround for this problem, but this might
      result in the first row being played ever so slightly late.
      Sometimes the problem can be solved or lessened by fiddling
      with plug-in delay compensation or pre-roll settings in the
      host. However, the only guaranteed solution is to offset
      your whole song by a bar or so.
                         
* "An IT/S3M/XM/MOD file doesn't sound right in reViSIT."
  --> The initial goal of reViSiT is to get as close to IT2 as
      possible. There are some limitations, however, such as
      control over playback speed (Axx, Txx commands) - which
      becomes the responsibility of the host application. Also,
      reViSiT does not (and may never) support Amiga pitch
      slides. Any other anomalies should be reported to
      info@nashnet.co.uk and will be addressed forthwith.

* "The sound begins to break up when <X> number of channels are
  playing simultaneously."
  --> Most modern computers should be able to easily acheive the
      full 64 channels of polyphony using the current version of
      reViSiT. However, performance ultimately depends on the
      processing power of the host computer. With NNA's, there
      can often be several channels of audio for each tracker
      channel, and this can add to the load on the CPU. Also, an
      ASIO driver for your soundcard is highly recommend. See
      www.asio4all.de for details on how to obtain a generic low-
      latency ASIO driver that will work with most consumer
      soundcards.

      THIS *BETA* RELEASE IS NOT PROVIDED IN ANY CAPACITY AS A
      BENCKMARK OF PERFORMANCE FOR FUTURE RELEASE VERSIONS.

* "How do I load my reViSiT v0.84.x files in reViSiT v0.85+?"
  --> reViSiT's file architecture stores all logical data in XML
      format ("Module.xml"), and then all sample file data in
      separate WAVE-compatible files ("Sample X.wav", where 'X'
      represents the sample number). reViSiT v0.85 automatically
      compresses all the files into a single ZIP-compatible
      archive. The result is a flexible, portable, extensible,
      efficient and accessible format. For example: all files can
      be unzipped and independently edited by appropriate editors.
	To convert your old (v0.84.x) to the new format, you can
      rename the old ".vstr" file as "Module.xml", and rename the
      old ".smpX" samples as "Sample X.wav" and then use WinZIP
      (or WinXP, or a zip-compatible compression utility) to zip
      them into a single file. This file should load directly in
      reViSiT v0.85+.

CONTACT INFO =====================================================

All questions, comments, criticisms (constructive) and bug reports
are welcome. Users are recommended to use the feedback URL, or
