History ...
With a view to RMCA Pro I have made ...
- 2.3a : A SC-55 instrument list was added and RMCA Pro was prepared to work with the original SC-55 modul.

- 2.4 : A help system was added which guides the user through the different sections of RMCA Pro. Especially style creating is now as easy as it can be. Simply press a button and the guide will lead you to the next steps (see screenshot).
- 2.4 : RMCA Pro now offers the possibility to save whole styles or single style parts as MIDI files. This is useful for people who want to create styles from MIDI files using their own high quality keyboards or other software. RMCA Pro in this case can serve as a converter and may do the whole "pre-work" (looping measures, transposing the MIDI material into C-maj etc.)
- 2.4 : A "slide" option was added, which helps to load MIDI files time exactly.
- 2.4.1-2 : With this versions I have modified some functions and added a small context menu to the mixer.

- 3.0 : This version comes with many internal and external modifications, an improved chord recognition system, a NEW HELPFILE, new functions and the ability to get in touch with large style libraries and other style convertor software (since version 2.5 beta). I also have fixed some very hidden bugs and - with a view to the international demand - German texts and infos were removed. I addition, registered users should know, that this copy of RMCA Pro is only a DEMO which cannot be registered.
- 3.1 : With this version I have fixed some bugs and have enhanced the chord recognition section again. In addition I have optimized RMCA Pro for using Stardock's fantastic tool WindowBlinds (tm), the first utility of its kind, which lets you use free downloadable skins and decide how Windows 95, 98, NT & Windows 2000 look.
- 3.2 : This release comes with changes, made to the setup and the helpfile. In addition a FAQ was added to the package. Absolutely new is the possibility to select a 1/8 quantisation. The corresponding controls can be found in the "Tap Tempo" window and under "Global Settings".

- 4.0 : This version comes with some new functions. Among others with an option to select a MIDI channel for incomming accompaniment notes. RMCA Pro then reacts only on MIDI note on/off messages which are sent on the defined channel. All other channels are for melody notes.
- 4.1 : This release comes with a new enhanced editor that lets you easily create and modify songs. In addition the file list box of the style-manager has got a filter combo box with a lot of predefined music styles (*blues*; *country* etc.) and style package identifiers (*10-*; *12-* etc) - Enjoy!
- 4.2 : With this release I have fixed some bugs. RMCA Pro also supports now the "look and feel" of Windows XP.

With a view to MAAS I have made ...
- 1.0 : Time has come for the MIDI Auto-Accompaniment Section (MAAS) that is now available in its first version.
- 1.1 : With this version I have fixed some bugs and have enhanced the chord recognition section. In addition I have optimized MAAS for using Stardock's fantastic tool WindowBlinds (tm), the first utility of its kind, which lets you use free downloadable skins and decide how Windows 95, 98, NT & Windows 2000 look.
- 1.2 : This release comes with changes, made to the setup and the helpfile. In addition a FAQ was added to the package. Absolutely new is the possibility to select a 1/8 quantisation. The corresponding controls can be found in the "Tap Tempo" window and under "Global Settings".

- 2.0 : This version comes with some new functions. Among others with an option to select a MIDI channel for incomming accompaniment notes. MAAS then reacts only on MIDI note on/off messages which are sent on the defined channel. All other channels are for melody notes.
- 2.1 : This release comes with an editor that lets you easily create and modify songs. In addition the file list box of the style-manager has got a filter combo box with a lot of predefined music styles (*blues*; *country* etc.) and style package identifiers (*10-*; *12-* etc) - Enjoy!
