ReBoy v1.1 alpha
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What?
ReBoy is a 7 channels 16 steps sample based sequencer for
the GameBoy Advance.

You need a Gameboy Advance (not tested with Nintendo DS)
and a flash-cartridge (I suggest www.flashlinker-shop.de)
to flash the program on the cart.
As an alternative you can use a GBA-emulator on PC, f.e.
VisualBoyAdvance.

tech. specs:
sample-rate: 20 KHz
resolution:  8 bit


This program is freeware - have fun & send some feedback

           (if frequency set -> set attack field)

mute mute/unmute channel
           will be triggered at the first pattern position

accurate BPM setting, but you can still set the value
faster by holding the A button


*************************
*** USING OWN SAMPLES ***
*************************

Now there's also the possibility to use own samples,
just create a directory named "samples" and place your
samples (WAV-format, 8 bit or 16 bit, mono or stereo)
in this folder.
The size of one sample is limited to app. 3:29 minutes.
The samples should be at a sample-rate of 20 KHz.

I suggest to name the files like in this example:

01-HT-hightom.WAV
-- --
|   \-sample characters like they appear in ReBoy,
|     max. chars is 4  
|
sample number

Place ReBoy.template.bin & wav.exe in the parent directory.

Run wav.exe, and if all works ok, ReBoy.bin with your
samples is created.
Use that binary to work with.
