+Simpledrums v 0.2, by Mathias Lundgren
+--------------------------------------
+
+Simpledrums is a simple MESS-synth sampler (MusE Experimental Soft
+Synth) aiming at becoming a simple, tightly integrated sampler for
+MusE, specifically aimed at drumsamples.
+
+Features:
+- 16 channels/samples (1 sample/channel)
+- Simple controls for each individual channel: volume, balance, noteoff-ignore, channel on/off
+- Main volume
+- 4 LADSPA send-effects can be used, 4 effect taps for each individual channel
+- All channel parameters are controllable via the GUI, or by MusE:s controller handling (controller pane in pianoroll/drumeditor)
+- All effect parameters can be controlled via the GUI, or by Sysex messages (f.ex. turn effect on/off, modify effect parameters)
+- Complete synth state (fx-parameters, samples etc) is saved together with MusE project, and restored later when loaded
+- Possible to save synth state to file
+- Samples automatically resampled when loaded (if needed)
+
+That's all folks!
+
+-------------
+Known issues:
+-------------
+- Not the prettiest gui in the world
+- All samples are read directly into memory (no caching)
+- Some obscure LADSPA-effects make SimpleSynth segfault
+- More...
+
+-------------
+Future plans:
+-------------
+- Fix all the known issues! ;-)
+- Sample loops
+- Sample offset variation w respect to note velocity
+- Treble/eq-controller for each individual channel
+- Treble level variation w respect to note velocity
+- More...
