ABOUT
-----

 shortcuts and mouse clicks. Tune up your party with a pre-defined set of music
 and samples!


FEATURES

 - MUI GUI for arranging sound sets
 - Full screen soundboard mode with graphical buttons
 - Loads embedded cover images from MP3, FLAC, and Ogg Vorbis files for
   soundboard button graphics
 - Internal playlist loading and saving
 - Teachable hotkeys, also looping and volume options for each audio file

   Liquid Tracker, Quadra Composer, and many other formats
 - ARexx, Command Line, and tooltypes support


INSTALLATION
------------

 - Copy the whole directory anywhere you want and just launch the program.


USAGE NOTES
-----------

 - Audio files can be loaded/configured as samples or music files.
 - Samples consume more memory, but can be played simultaneously with other
   sounds.
 - The Flush button purges samples from memory, so the memory is freed.
 - Music files are streamed from disk, but only one music file can be
   played at a time.
 - Clicking the graphical button at the lower right corner opens the full screen
   soundboard display.
 - Click sound images with the left mouse button or press a corresponding
   keyboard shortcut to get them to play. Do the same with the Control key
   pressed or click an image with the right mouse button to stop playback.
 - Exit from the full screen mode with the Esc key or click in the upper left
   corner of the screen.
 - "Default graphics", "Show filename", "Show hotkeys", and "Load embedded
   images" settings affect what is shown with soundboard images in the full
   screen display.


SETTINGS
--------

 Program settings can be found in the program's pull-down menu and they will be
 saved to the ENVARC:Hollywood/com.amigaaa.jpv.rnosoundboard file.
