Documentation is here: https://github.com/whisperdoll/acheron/wiki/Acheron-Documentation

It is highly recomended that you watch the video first, then read the documentation (though it's also pretty fun to just poke around and figure things out!)

## Setup

Download the latest Acheron release here: https://github.com/whisperdoll/acheron/releases

The current version as of this writing is **1.1.5**
The current version as of this writing is **1.1.5.1**

**Please note that Acheron is a MIDI sequencer, and as such produces no sound on its own.**

You'll need a Digital Audio Workstation (or other VST host/MIDI receiving application) and MIDI loopback driver (such as [loopmidi](https://www.tobias-erichsen.de/software/loopmidi.html)), or a MIDI interface and a physical MIDI device.

To use Acheron without a physical MIDI device (e.g. with a DAW or other software):
- First, download and install Tobias Erichsen's [loopmidi](https://www.tobias-erichsen.de/software/loopmidi.html)
- Use loopMIDI to create a virtual midi port (click the plus button at the bottom left of the window.)

- Extract Acheron-1.1.5-win.zip and run Acheron.exe.
- Select Settings (at the bottom of the window.)
- Under MIDI Outputs select the virtual MIDI port you just created (called "loopMIDI port" by default.)
