First a word to the english readers of this document:

This  is  the  second release of MPM that contains the
english  documentation.   The  version of MPM released
some  month ago contained only the german docs.  There
were some timing problems with some Amiga 2500 models.
I  increased  the time to appear the nerving requester
to 30 seconds.

------------------------------------------------------
This  is the demonstration version of MPM.  MPM stands
for  "Midi Performance Manager".  MPM is a utility for
managing   a   heterogeneous   synthesizer-  and  Midi
equipement.

MPM  is  able  to  receive  and send both standard and
synthesizer  specific  Midi  data.   There are several
editors in MPM do manage this.

Moreover MPM offers

* a Midi monitor for analysing incoming Midi data

*  a controller mixer for realtime editing of all Midi
controllers

*  a  patch-bay (intelligent Midi through function) to
redirect Midi data

* a universale Midi message generator

* ARexx port

* online help with AmigaGuide

* support of the locale.library

MPM   uses   the  "midi.library".   Therefore  MPM  is
compatabile  with all programs that are using the same
library.


Installation:
-------------
Start the "Install English" program.


Requirements
------------

Processor:       68000, better 68020/68030/68040
Kickstart:       2.0, 2.1 oder 3.0
Memory:          at least 1 MB Ram
Harddrive:       not required but saves a lot of time

------------------------------------------------------

MPM  is  shareware  and  not public domain.  This demo
version is nearly full functional.  However after some
time  a  nerving requester will appear to remember you
that  you  have  to register.  The demo version may be
copied  as  long  as  all parts of the MPM package are
included and unchanged.
