*  Adapt-X plugin v3.5 for WinAmp by Ianier Munoz and Yaquelyn Gutierrez  *
***************************************************************************

SOFTWARE DESCRIPTION
********************

Tired of hearing those amateurish DSP plugins? 

Adapt-X turns Winamp (or any other program supporting Winamp plugins) 
into a true DirectX plugin host, leveraging the power of the industry-
standard DSP plugin architecture. Now you can play your music with 
the same professional effects that are used in real-life recordings.

This plugin requires Win95/98/Me/NT4.0/2000 or later and DXMedia 6.0 
(just install the latest Windows Media Player). You will need, of course, 
some DX plugins installed on your computer :-). 
The good news is that DirectX8 has some built-in audio effects (called 
DMOs) that you can use with Adapt-X 3.5, so DX8 is highly recommended.

product materials delivered with this software package are not sold,

CHANGES SINCE VERSION 3.0
*************************

- Support for 24 and 32 bit processing (for plugins supporting it).
  Note : The DX8 built-in DMOs don't support these bit depths.
  Blame Microsoft (tm).
- A free DirectX plugin is included that allows to use the Speaker
  Correction feature of Microsoft Plus! for Windows XP. Note that you
  may use this plugin with any other DX plugin host as well, as long as
  you are running Windows XP and have MS Plus! installed :-).
- The main window now restores its latest position when the plug-in is 
  loaded.
- The Adapt-X SDK is available for developers willing to add DX plugin
  hosting ability to their own applications. More info in the plugin
  configuration dialog.

CHANGES SINCE VERSION 2.0
*************************

- Support for DX8 DMOs: users running under DirectX8 get the following
  audio   effects "for free": Chorus, Compression, Distortion, Echo, 
  Environmental Reverberation, Flange, Gargle, Parametric Equalizer and 
  Waves(tm) Reverberation.
- Now Adapt-X remembers its settings after closing Winamp.
- Fixed a bug that prevented Adapt-X from working in conjunction with 
  MuchFX2(tm).
- The plugin list now appears in alphabetical order. 
- Faster plugin enumeration.
- Improved overall stability.

CHANGES SINCE VERSION 1.0
*************************

- Plugin chain support. Full plugin chains can be saved for later reuse.
- Any sampling rate supported. The limitation to 44.1KHz audio files was 
  removed.
- The plugin enumeration was greatly improved. Version 1.0 did not display 
  all installed plugins.
- Fixed a nasty UI bug that caused Adapt-X to crash.
- Fixed some minor UI bugs.
- The Adapt-X main window now moves and minimizes with Winamp.
