Wavelore GLIDE - Version 1.1.0
***********************************************


**********How to install this Update************

Unzip the archive to your choice of hard drive location. The .nki files (Wavelore_GLIDE_1xRR, etc), and the resources files (.nkc, .nkr) should be placed in the main GLIDE folder, replacing the previous versions. The easiest way to do this is to place the archive directly in the main GLIDE folder, and then to use the "extract here" option in WinRar, choosing "yes to all" when prompted on file replacement. 

IMPORTANT: Read the section below before replacing these files, or your custom keyswitch settings may be lost!

You can now delete the "Resources" Folder from your original installation; It contains redundant graphics files that are now handled excludively by the .nkc and .nkr files mentioned above.

The Data folder contains important files which contain factory presets and some data used to control new features (see below). If you have done extensive work creating your own keyswitch setup on a previous version, your should backup your original data folder, and then place the files in this new data folder into the old one. That is, don't delete the old data folder; merely merge the new files into it, replacing when prompted. The reason is that the new files include two files which govern keyswitches. These are:

"keyswitchess.nka" (Stores factory/user assigned patch keyswitches)
"bank_keyswitches.nka" (stores factory/user assigned bank keyswitches"

replacing these files without backing up first will cause you to lose your custom keyswitch setup! There is a sub-directory in your Data folder called "DATA BACKUP". Use it to back up your existing copies of the two above files, then paste the contents of the Data folder included in this update to the existing Data folder. Use the new keyswitches to explore our new patterns and licks (Descriptions at bottom). Once you restore your old keyswitch files from the DATA BACKUP folder, you can then navigate using the bank and patch menus on the sequencer page to any new factory presets you like, and edit and/or re-save them with your preference of keyswitches.

**********What's new in Version 1.1.0************

Important Fixes:

Fixed IR loading issue caused by re-naming of IR directory in version 1.0
Fixed a problem where engaging a keyswitch while a note in the playing range was held would result in improperly triggered patterns.
Fixed problem where release samples triggered after a pull-off would trigger at inconsistent volumes.
Fixed a problem where playing the keyboard after stopping playback mid-note in MOTU Digital Performer would not trigger sequences correctly.

New Features:

Added Nudge Feature: Selected notes are nudged left or right by holding CTL while clicking "terminates" (<-X), and "lasts forever" (X->), respectively. Nudging amount is set using the snap grid.

Added velocity controls page. Now you can click on the bridge of the guitar to specify the minimum and maximum volumes for each articulation as determined by velocity. There are also band-reject filters included that reduce the extra bass effect when playing closer to the bridge + buzzy samples. The result is a smoother velocity response across the range of the instruments' articulations.

Added Sustain Pedal Behavior Page: Now you can set the sustain pedal (CC#64) to perform a variety of tasks.

See the included v1.2 manual addendum for detailed info on the new features.

Added new factory banks/presets: As before, bank presets ascend from F4 upward, and patch keyswitches descend from F#2 downward, both in a logical progression through various options.

Banks: 
F4) Single Strings 
F#4) Adjacent Double Stops 
G4) Non-Adjacent Double Stops 
G#4) Adjacent Double Stops, Broken Ascending with speed/dynamics Control 
A4) Non-Adjacent Double Stops, Broken Ascending with speed/dynamics Control 
A#4) Adjacent Double Stops, Tremolo with speed/dynamics Control 
B4) Non-Adjacent Double Stops, Tremolo with speed/dynamics Control 
C5) Adjacent Triple Stops
C#5) Non-Adjacent Triple Stops
D5) Adjacent Triple Stops, Broken Ascending with speed/dynamics Control
D#5) Non-Adjacent Triple Stops, Broken Ascending with speed/dynamics Control
E5) Adjacent and Non-Adjacent Quadruple Stops
F5) Adjacent and Non-Adjacent Quadruple Stops, Broken Ascending with speed/dynamics Control
F#5) Adjacent and Non-Adjacent Quintuple and Sextuple Stops, Broken Ascending with speed/dynamics Control
G5) Picking Patterns.

Progressing downward through the patch keyswitches within each bank, you will see a logical flow of variations for each bank. Explore! There is also a detailed appendix on the contents of the Banks/Keyswitches in the updated manual, included in this archive.

Changes to the Manual:

Added tuning menu description on main page (Description retained in addendum, below).
Added sections for new features (Advanced Velocity Controls, Sustain Pedal Behavior), mentioned above).
Added detailed bank/patch list, elaborating on the list given above.
Fixed Various typos and formatting errors.


**********Addendum to the Version 1.0 Manual************

Your manual omits two important features not mentioned above:

1) It is possible to choose from a number of guitar tunings. Simply click the headstock (the top of the instrument) of the guitar image in the main page of controls, and a menu will appear. The playable range of the Keyboard will transpose to match the chosen tuning (e.g., Open DI will use a range of D-D, Open GII a range of G-G, etc).

2) The "add" and "remove" buttons in the sequencer will function as "up and "down", respectively, if the control (CTL) key on your computer's keyboard is held while they are clicked. Use the controls in this manner to move any selected notes up or down incrementaly by string. This feature lets you easily change sequences to fit tuning and taste.

**********Known Issues************

1) Using the up and down controls mentioned above, or dragging notes using the arrow controls can result in notes "overlapping" in the sequence. Although every effort has been made to prevent overlapping notes from playing with unpredictable results, they can still cause difficulty in sebsequent note editing. Always keep your notes separate using the snap grid, and make fine timing adjustments using the timing randomization functions.

2) The strings on the neck display, when illuminated, may prevent changes to user interface controls during realtime playback. The workaround is to click the "hide neck" button when editing instrument settings while playing the keyboard.

3) changing the pageview from sequencer to main page during realtime playback may result in strange overlapping of user interface elements. Changing the page again after playback stops will restore things to normal.
