History

18 November 2003: First release of OrganTool. This was the 16-bit version, developed with a win 3.1 development system. It included two lists of 15 midi out channels, each channel with a configurable preset and midi-in channel. The preset texts could be loaded from disk by reading an SF2 file. For all midi channels, the same bank had to be selected.
