\f0\b About this Package\

\f1\b0 \
This is the source code package for MacCRO X. It is distributed under the GNU General Public License; refer to License.rtf for the full text. There are currently no binaries distributed by me, because I do not consider MacCRO X to be in a useable state (yet).\
\
This is a complete rewrite of MacCRO. The code is not based on the Classic version, apart from the general appearance of the interface. It's a Cocoa program, so the interface is built with Interface Builder and the code is in Objective-C.\
\

\f0\b State of the Code
\f1\b0 \
\
There are several known bugs and missing features; see Todo.rtf for more information.\
\
The sound input code now uses PortAudio (www.portaudio.com), which uses CoreAudio on Mac OS X. I have included the relevant bits of portaudio in this source distribution, so you don't need to download it separately.\
\
The linux port is currently branched in cvs. This is not it. If you want to try it out, please check out from Sourceforge's cvs server using the tag "gnustep-branch".\

! \f0\b State of the Code

  \f1\b0 \
! This is an alpha release of MacCRO X. It is incomplete. Important features are missing, and there are probably bugs. Not everything works, and things that do work may not work correctly. If you find any such problems, or if you have any improvements to suggest, please contact the authors. See Todo.rtf for the current list.\
  \
! Unlike the original MacCRO, this is free software. It is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License; for further information, start MacCRO and select "Show License" from the Help menu or read the License.rtf file included in this package.\
  \

! \f0\b About MacCRO X
  \f1\b0 \
  \
! MacCRO X is an application which allows you to use your computer's sound input device as an audio-frequency oscilloscope and spectrum analyser. As the name suggests, it runs only on Mac OS X (though an X11 port using GNUstep is in the works).\
  \
! 
! \f0\b System Requirements
! \f1\b0 \
  \
! \'a5 Mac OS X 10.2 ("Jaguar") or later, and a Mac which will run it. There's no major reason it won't run on earlier Mac OS X versions, so if you have an older version and want to use MacCRO, contact me and I'll fix it for you.\
! \'a5 A sound input device. Most Macs have these built in, but some PowerMac G4 machines (like mine) do not; if you have such a machine, you'll need a USB sound input, a PCI sound card, or some other form of input device supported by OS X. If you have multiple devices, select the one you want to use in the Sound panel in System Preferences.\
  \

! \f0\b For MacCRO PPC Users
! \f1\b0 \
! \
! The interface of MacCRO X is similar to the original MacCRO; if you have used that program, this should be familiar. There are a few minor differences; the most obvious is that the controls are now in a separate window. Also, you don't have to pay for it (though you can if you really want to!).\
! \
! 
! \f0\b For New Users
! \f1\b0 \
! \
! When you start MacCRO X, two windows will appear. One contains an oscilloscope trace (a horizontal line which will probably be moving); the other contains a large number of controls.\
! \
! The three tabs at the top of the control window switch between MacCRO X's three basic modes: \
! \'a5 Oscilloscope: a plot of signal amplitude over time.\
! \'a5 X/Y Plot: for stereo signals, plots the amplitude in one channel along one axis and the amplitude in the other channel along the other axis. If you don't have a stereo signal, you'll just see a diagonal line.\
! \'a5 Spectrum analyser: plots amplitude over frequency.\
! \
! The other controls in the window \'d1 which vary depending on which of the three modes is selected \'d1 are used mostly to select what scale to use on each axis. There are a few extra controls for things such as triggering (in the oscilloscope, not implemented yet) and sample resolution (in the spectrum analyser). There are also controls in all three modes to enable and disable the grids (not implemented yet) and to freeze the display.\
