The Drum Circle simple sequencer 
with Hippe AI for BeOS R4

This directory contains the version 1.0.0 of the Drum Circle simple sequencer for BeOS R4. It was designed and tested on the Intel version of BeOS R4 and ported to PPC by Will Dyson.

DrumCircle is my first BeOS app. So many parts of the User Interface are pretty Crude. 

DrumCircle is ShareWare. If you like the concept, want to see improvements on it, or just want to say thank you, please register your copy today. It's only $6 US.  For me that's a case of Beer. [Hint:] I'm a college student and there's no better way to get me to work on a project in my spare time than sending me Beer money :-) 

If you have problems with the program or suggestions, I'd like to hear about them.

Have Fun,
