XDrum Portable Drum Machine
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Version 1.1

XDrum is a simple pattern-based drum sequencer which uses sampled drum sets.

XDrum is developed to be:

1. Used to quickly "sketch" out drum patterns, anywhere.
2. Useful to musicians.
3. Easy to use.

XDrum is cross-platform. This means that although it is primarily designed to run on Sony PSP, I can make versions of it that will run on Linux, Windows, in fact anything that supports SDL (Simple Directmedia Layer).

See "quickstart.txt" (or "_quickstart (PSP).txt") before you use the program.

See "manual.txt" for more detailed information on how to use the program.

XDrum is customisable. It can use different drum sets ("drumkits") which can be customised to your needs, or used to emulate your favourite drum machine. The look of XDrum can be customised through "skins". Keyboard keys and controller buttons can be remapped. Please see "customising.txt" for details.

XDrum is a work-in-progress. This is the first version. It is useable, but some features are incomplete or unimplemented, and is probably buggy.
