!!!!! NEW FEATURES !!!!! NEW FEATURES !!!!! NEW FEATURES !!!!!





24 TRACKS

SWEET SIXTEEN now has 24 tracks in each pattern. In Song Mode, where
pattern 17 runs in parallel with the other patterns, you may have up
to 48 tracks playing simultanesly.

The vertical window scroll bar has changed function. It now lets you
scroll the tracks in the current pattern. Should any of the tracks be
out of view, the area above the track numbers will be inverted to remind
you of its existence.

As before you may copy, delete or merge a track by  clicking on the
track name area and dragging it:
1. To the left to erase it.
2. Over an ocupied track to merge it.
3. To a blank track to copy it.

New functions are:
4. Holding down the shift key while dragging will swap the tracks.
5. Holding down the control key while dragging will move the track.



DEFAULT/ZERO VALUES

Holding down the control key while clicking the track parameters, will
set the values to zero. This applies for Transpose, Loop, Delay, Compress
and Velocity. This is also true for Pre Start and Transpose in the
Arrange Box.



MIXER SCREEN (side 45 in manual)

The Mixer screen has two new buttons:

"SOLO" which will solo a desired MIDI channel. Clicking a button while
holding down the Control key makes it possible to "solo" several MIDI
channels at the same time.

"MUTE" which will mute one or several MIDI channels.
The buttons labeled "CHA" has changed name to "GRP" (group). As before,
selecting those, "groups" two or more faders (moving one moves several).

You may define the "Volume Fader Button" to any controller message by
clicking the "Define..." button in the Mixer Screen. The default value
is Volume/controller 7.



KEYBOARD EDITOR (side 39-42 in the manual)

When moving notes in the "grid area", the first direction you move in
decides whethr you are changing the position or transposing. Adding the
right mouse button or the control key, allows you to move in any direction.
This saves a lot of double editing when you drag the wrong way by mistake.

It's now possible to delete the selected note events in the "grid area"
by right clicking while holding the shift key down.

It's now also posible to insert and delete events in the Controll Display.

When inserting events in the Control Display, the current groove value
dictates how close the events are inserted.

When displaying controller and pitchbend events in the Control Dispaly,
events that has a center value (i.e. 64) while be drawn as black beams.

 
The use of the mouse/keyboard in the Controll Display is changed to the
following:
1. Left clicking allows you to inspect a desired event.
2. Left clicking while holding down the shift key allows you to alter a
desired event.  
3. Right clicking allows you to insert an event at a desired time position.
4. Right clicking while holding down the shift key allows you to delete
an event at a desired time position.


SIMPLE BARDISPLAY

In the Options Menu there is a new item called "Simple Bardisplay".
With this item ticked all, all barcounters will display the position
as Bars, Beats and Ticks instead of Bars, Beats, Groove and Ticks.
Some people like it this way, so here you are.

Extra information for the ATARI version.


***** FILE MENU *****

If a file with the same name and extension is already on the
disk, not only is the new version saved with its correct name and
extension but a BACK-UP file is also created of the 'Old Version'
but with the first letter in the extension of the file on the disk
changed to 'B'. (E.g. SNG to BNG  .MID to .BID). This way
you'll always have the previous version as a backup of your song
on the disk.

The following three File menu items, Create Folder,Delete File and
Format Disk, duplicates normal desktop functions. Sometimes
it's very convenient not having to quit the program to perform
these operations.

CREATE FOLDER.
With this function you may create a new folder on your disk/hard
disk.

DELETE FILE.
This function lets you delete a file on your disk/hard disk.

FORMAT DISK.
Formats a disk in drive A.


***** FUNCTIONS MENU *****

KEEP/DELETE TRANSFORM
Clicking the "nameplate" will toggle between "Delete/Keep"
and "Transform Events".


***** FLAGS MENU *****

RUNNING STATUS.
With Running Status activated, the stream of MIDI events will
be thinned out. All modern synthesizers understand this
reduction without problem. If you have an older synthesizer e.g.
an old DX-7, it may misunderstand the reduced MIDI messages.
But, if everything sounds OK, keep Running Status activated.

NOTE PRIORITY.
With Note Priority ticked SWEET SIXTEEN ensures that notes
get priority over other events.


***** MISCELLANEOUS *****

EDIT MODE
In Edit mode clicking the "EDIT" button will toggle
between the Event Editor and the Piano Roll Editor.

NAMES
To enter a name in the Arrange Box, in the Pattern Box or in a Track,
you may also 'click' while holding down the [Shift] key.

If you want to use SWEET SIXTEEN with multitasking systems as
MULTITOS, GENEVA etc, you must tell SWEET SIXTEEN not to allocate
all available memory. With memory setup you may decide for how
many MIDI events you want to allocate memory. You must save this
value, close and restart SWEET SIXTEEN for this to in effect.
This setting is saved in a file called SWEET_16.SET which should
be in the same folder as SWEET_16.PRG.
