--------------- MEDPlayer V3.10 / OctaMEDPlayer V1.00 instructions
--------------- Teijo Kinnunen 1.4.1991
MEDPlayer is a program, which you can use to play MED songs without MED.
You can use it from Workbench or CLI.
MEDPlayer V3.10 can load MED V2.10/V3.00/V3.10 sng+samples-format and
MMD0-modules. It can't load MED songs or files created with previous
versions of MED. Why?? Because I think it is more important that MEDPlayer
is as compact and quick as possible instead of the ability to load millions
of file formats. You can convert older files by loading them to MED V3.10
and saving them back again. Please note that there may be problems with
playing speed when loading modules saved with MED V2.10. In that case, load
the module in MED V3.10, correct the tempo2 (change to 6) and save it back.
Also, a bug in module save routine in MED 3.00 causes some modules to crash
when played. You can fix the modules by loading the to MED 3.10/OctaMED and
saving the file back.
There's only one version of MEDPlayer, that can play both MIDI and non-MIDI
songs (and a gadget to toggle the mode). OctaMEDPlayer (distributed with
OctaMED) can also play 8-channel songs made using OctaMED.
MEDPlayer V3.10 has a "2.0-look" and, of course, works well under 2.0.
And now, the usage:
CLI:
medplayer <song>
<song> is optional. If not specified, MEDPlayer window
appears and waits for your interaction. If <song> is
present, then the song is loaded. If it loaded OK,
then the playing will start. Press Ctrl-C to quit.
WB:
Double-click the icon. You can also set the "Default tool"-field
of the .info file (default is "MEDPlayer"). MEDPlayer opens in
the interactive mode when started from WB.
The window:
If you started MEDPlayer in the interactive mode, the window
appears. Type in the name of the song/module. Then press
Return to load it. "Play" starts playing, "Cont" continues it,
"Stop" stops. Quit with the close gadget. You can load another
song by entering a new name to the string gadget.
MIDI-gadget allows you to allocate/free serial hardware at any
moment. When it reads: MIDI:Y, you can play MIDI-songs.
