          EPSS and Atomic Man by Unit Seventeen and Copson DATA
          -----------------------------------------------------

Release 2

 In a somewhat different way than our other sound-demos, Unit Seventeen
presents you EPSS and the song Atomic Man.

 This demo is allowed to be freely spread as long as all the files
listed in the end of this text are included on the disk or in the
archive.

 The song is made by Gem Two of Unit Seventeen and uses a betaversion
of our own sound system EPSS which features following:

* 8 channel polyphony (depends on loaded sounddriver)
* 25 kHz effective replay frequency (depends on loaded sounddriver)
* Independent volumes and pitch on each sound
* Independent stereo-panning of each sound
* Variable looping of each sound
* Unlimited samplelength
* Maximum 256 sounds in one patch
* Maximum 128 different sounds on every MIDI-channel
* Velocity Variant Filter Emulation, VVFE, to achive filereffects
* Subtones, make new sounds of existing samples with different parameters
* Used integrated with your favourite sequencer
* EPSS Export Driver for MROS(R) to be used with all MROS(R) based sequencers
* Uses external sound-drivers which can support different hardware
* Use the drivers in your own programs or demos for playing the songs
* MIDI-In, Out and Thru
* Replay possible from MID-files without any sequencer loaded
* Integrated sample and sound editor
* Direct loading of samples from Roland S-50-discs
* GEM Multi-Window environment compatible with MultiTOS and Falcon
* Runs both as Program or ACCessory

...and much more...

 This demonstration is made using the Demonstrator-utility made by
Legend Software and a selfrunning sequence is made for ST-medium
resolution which shows you some of the features of EPSS. The
Demonstrator is quite sensitive for resident programs, so if you
experience any problems, please turn off your AUTO-programs and
ACCessories. The demonstration is tested on the ST, STe, Mega STe and
TT. The complete demonstration must have about 750kB free RAM to run,
EPSS together with patch and song comsumes about 600kB.

 The demo is made for running from a diskette, but the demo can also be
run from a harddisk. When running from a harddisk, the configuration-
file EPSS.INF must be copied to the bootpartition. The delay before
the demonstration starts is set to 50 seconds.

 When the demo has ended, you can explore the functions in the program.
It is also possible to start EPSS.PRG instead of ATOMIMAN.PRG to skip
the selfrunning sequence. EPSS.PRG can also be renamed to EPSS.ACC and
be run as an ACCessory and play the song in the background.

 The demonstration can also be run on a ST without any DMA-sound in
medium resolution, by renaming the file EPSS.INF to something else
and then rename the file EPSS_ST.INF to EPSS.INF.

 It is also possible to run EPSS in a higher resolution than ST-medium
by running EPSSMONO.PRG which is a monochrome demoversion of EPSS.
