Virtuax 1.0

A VIRTUAL GUITAR REFERENCE AND PRACTICE TOOL

Screen Shot

This is a demonstration version of Virtuax 1.0.  Virtuax is a graphical
and musical guitar reference/instructional tool for use with Microsoft
Windows (tm) 3.1.  This demo contains most all of the functionality of
the registered version, but lacks the extensive database.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE REGISTERED VERSION:
------------------------------------

     * Please note that the full version has over 4000 specific chord
       charts along with over 2300 specific scale charts (this covers
       the various fingerings for the basic modes, many common scales,
       and over 40 different exotic scales)!!!!!!!
 
     * You will also receive the necessary tools to expand upon the
       libraries of chords, scales, and arpeggios using two special
       accompanying applications.  These Windows based applications
       allow you to designate your own names, formulas, and fingerings
       for new charts, or you can change any information in the existing
       charts to suit your needs.

     * The registered version also includes help files that cover 
       several music theory topics to help you utilize and expand
       upon the information in Virtuax.
    
GENERAL OVERVIEW:
----------------
Virtuax includes a virtual guitar with MIDI fuctionality and a digital
metronome that are both fully configurable.  Virtuax lets you play around
using your mouse, or you can reference the library of chords, scales, 
and arpeggios.  All charts are displayed on the virtual guitar using
a color-coded and numbered notation that tells you exactly how to
finger each of the charts.  Chords can be played instantly so you can
hear how they sound, and all the charts can be played one note at a time
so you can play along (with or without the metronome).  You set the
tempo, volume, and preferred instrument voice and then let it rip!
Virtuax even includes a tuner to keep you in tune.

HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS:
---------------------
To use the software, you need the following...

	- Microsoft(tm) compatible mouse
	- Sound Blaster(tm) or compatible MIDI capable sound card
	- 486SX or higher (486DX strongly recommended)
	- 3MB RAM (4MB or more strongly recommended)
	- VGA 640x480x256
	- 1.5MB of Hard Drive space


USAGE:
-----
The demo lets you pick the root note from a list of all theoretically
possible roots (This is to keep things simple for the non-theory
players who are cool jammers, too!  So what if you've never heard of a
tune in D#?  If it sounds good, play it and call it whatever you want!).
Once you select a root note, you can double click on a chart to display
it on the guitar neck.  The chart will show you everything you need to
know about its fingering.  Click on the arpeggio-play button and you will
hear what it should sound like.  Chords work the same way, but you have
option of pressing the chord-play button instead which will play all of
the notes at once so you can really hear the chords 'flavor'.
