Arpage & Zonage:
===========================================================

Two JACK MIDI apps inspired by the late, great Kurzweil Expression Mate

   http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/may00/articles/kurzweil.htm
   
The aim was to recreate as much of the Expression Mate as possible, while
eliminating some of the limitations of it's user interface.   That, however, 
is a very tall order.   It might get there eventually, or it might mutate into
something totally different...  Who Knows?  Stay Tuned.


===========================================================
Arpage - Four JACK Transport Synchronized MIDI Arpeggiators
===========================================================

Arpage has 4 arpeggiators which can be routed individually to any jack-midi 
aware applications, via your favorite patching software (patchage, ladish, etc).

The arpeggiators will save/restore their state when closing/opening the app -
so you don't have to write down your settings (saving patches is due in 0.5).

There isn't any documentation as of yet, but there are tooltips on most of the 
parameters in the UI.

* Try Crazy Things - route the output of arp1 into the input of arp2.
  (note that when routing arp-to-arp, you can only go lower-to-higher - e.g. 
  you can't route arp4 into arp3 - this is a limitation of how it's coded).

===========================================================
Zonage - Four JACK MIDI data mappers for splitting your 
         keyboard into zones.
===========================================================

Pretty simple - each zone takes a midi input and truncates output data to within
the key range specified in the UI.

This lets you, for instance, split your keyboard into four zones and route each
zone to one arpeggiator in Arpage.  That was the main intent of the app.

It does other things, but it is fairly limited at this point.  Let me know if
you use it, and have ant suggestions.
