===================
Using T-C-M in LMMS
===================

- Check the included 'Configuration Guide' first!

- We included the required files for ASIO support. If your card does not have
a native 'ASIO' driver, you should install the free 'ASIO4ALL' generic driver.
We recommend a sample rate of 48000 to not degrade the analog sound of T-C-M.
Besides, the buffer size should always be a multiple of 128, requiring 512 or
less to control T-C-M from a MIDI keyboard without latency.

- Please note that on some systems we have detected a strange issue that may
prevent T-C-M-II from working properly if the sum of the characters of the
folder names that make up the path exceeds a maximum of 44. This could happen,
for example, when you move the 'T-C-M-II' folder to the desktop.

- Loading older individual patches (fxp files) may not seem to work, but it's
fine: the old data will fit to the new version after some refreshing actions
like selecting another patch or resetting the audio engine.

- Unfortunately we have detected that the 'Open VST-plugin preset' function in
LMMS does not work with T-C-M. Although bank import seems to work, the values
of many parameters are messed up in the process. On the other hand, importing
an individual preset results directly in a crash. This is not a T-C-M failure,
T-C-M does not have this issue in other hosts and besides, it's not the only
VST plugin having this kind of problem in LMMS.

- For more general information, check the main 'readme.txt'.


====================================
Compatibility with Previous Projects
====================================

T-C-M v2.5 has been significantly improved to reduce CPU usage as well as
load time. As a side effect, project files saved from your host that used
earlier versions of T-C-M may take a long time to load the updated version.
This is totally normal since many unused data is discarded in the process.
Once the load is finished, save the project and the next time you open it,
you will not have to wait any longer. Another workaround is to load an old
project using the old version, save bank/presets in use, remove T-C-M from
project and save it; once updated T-C-M, open the project and load the new
T-C-M for the right track and finally load the old project bank/presets.
