From: "Dr. Karlheinz Essl"
Subject: REplay PLAYer 2.4


REplay PLAYer is a computer program that de-constructs a given sound
file and re-composes it by using realtime composition algorithms - a
field of research that has been investigated by Karlheinz Essl since
the mid 1980ies. With this project, Karlheinz Essl is following once
again his vision of a music "that is composed, as if from itself
(auto-poetic), at the moment of its sounding."

REplay PLAYer can be used as a tool to generate an infinite and
every-changing sonic stream from a single sound file for artistical,
compositional or mere recreational purposes. It can also be regarded
as a computer based instrument for live performances, as an
interactive sound installation or a generator for ambient music.


New features of version 2.4:

* New user interface with waveform display of the sound material
* Improved audio engine
* CPU load display
* Panning algorithm added


System requirements:

* Apple Macintosh G3 computer
* OS 8.6 or better
* min. 24 MB of free RAM (80 MB recommended for longer sound files)
* min. screen size 800*600 pixels
