Welcome to Keyboard Master Demo, a demonstration of Spartan Software
Systems Music Series product, Keyboard Master.  Keyboard Master is an
IBM PC, XT, AT and PS/2 compatible software program that combines the
powerful features of a sequencer with the flexibility of MIDI to create
a comprehensive keyboard exploration and learning environment.
Keyboard Master is to the keyboardist what the word processor has been
to the writer.

Keyboard Master teaches you how to play any standard MIDI file format
song with simplicity using a computerized, graphical keyboard.
Keyboard Master visually shows you where to play every note in the
song, stepping forward and backward through complex leads and chords.
In addition, Keyboard Master can calculate, display and print hundreds
of different scale and chord charts.  You can create custom scale and
chord charts using the edit option, easily turning notes on and off and
adding custom fingerings.  Custom charts can be saved as image files
and later recalled.  Keyboard Master provides support for four keyboard
notations ranging from simple dots to the actual note value.

With a Roland MPU-401 attachment, Keyboard Master becomes a 64 track
sequencer capable of recording, playing or overdubbing to any track.
Since Keyboard Master supports Standard MIDI Files, you can share songs
with other music program that also support this standard.

Keyboard Master's intuitive user interface coupled with mouse support
and context sensitive help screens make it an incredibly easy program
to use.  Keyboard Master also provides an extensive "profile" feature
which allows you to customize many aspects of the program.  From
teaching to composing your own songs, Keyboard Master has the power and
flexibility you need to get the job done!

Keyboard Master Demo is intended to provide you with an excellent idea
of the full capabilities of the actual Keyboard Master product before
you buy.  This demonstration program provides all the function found in
Keyboard Master with the following exceptions.  Keyboard Master Demo
can only display scale and chord charts in the key of C Major.
Keyboard Master Demo can only play the MIDI File provided on the
program diskette (KMDEMO.MFF).  Recorded sequences and image files
cannot be saved to disk.  Other than these exceptions, Keyboard Master
Demo functions like the actual product.

In order to realize the full integration of Spartan Software products,
the installation program, INSTALL.BAT, should be used to install
Keyboard Master Demo.  The installation program will create a "common
area" on the disk (or diskette) of choice where Keyboard Master Demo
will be installed.  Then as you purchase other Spartan Software
products, they can be added to this common area via their installation
programs to assure you of complete integration between products.

The installation program will create a master directory called \SPARTAN
which contains a unique subdirectory for each Spartan Software product
that you purchase.  These subdirectories house the actual program files
needed to run that particular application.
