=================
( vers. 3.1.95 )
Replay- and DSP-Code: bITmASTER of TCE
AUTO-folder program and GEM-programming: Apache of tnb
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is ( one more ) module player for the F030 using bITmASTERs replay.
The reasons to use it are:
1. It supports many module formats:
originally supported by bITmASTER:
4-channel Protracker ( M.K. )
4-channel Startrekker ( FLT4 )
8-channel Octalyzer STE/F030 ( CD8, CD81 )
8-channel Digital F030 ( FA08 )
patching the module:
8-channel "Triton" Fasttracker ( 8CHN )
( the accessory fixes an undocumented passage in the 'FA08'-format so
that this modules will played correctly )
2. The accessory will play modules packed with Pack-ICE or JAM-Pack. JAM-
Pack seems to have slightly better packing rates, but the depack-
routine needs additional memory for it's work and needs a bit more time
than ICE-Pack.
3. The player can produce surround sound and has an interpolation option
for best quality.
4. On ProTracker ST the $D-argumentbyte isn't used. Some musicians like to
use it as a remark. This accessory allows you to clean such modules
before playing.
5. The player needs no more than 8% of CPU-time for 4-channel modules and
14% CPU-time for 8-channel modules ( for monochrome video mode ). It
runs very stable in the background, even the perturbation of the
keyboard/mouse-handler could be stopped!
6. The accessory has an build-in fader ( 0-99 secs ).
What is planned for the future?
If I get some modules with ID's 'FLT8', 'CD6n', 'CD4n'(?), '4CHN'(?) or
'6CHN' I could perhaps develop patches for them. Maybe bITmASTER makes
a new Version of his player supporting *.S3M, *.669 or *.DTM.
What is the shareware price?
NONE! If you like the program then you have only to send me a postcard
( with a nice(!) picture of you or your town for instance ). You could
also send me your newest modules if you are a musician.
What happens if you sell this for commerce?
You will burn in hell.
Installation:
copy DSP_PLAY.PRG to C:\AUTO\
copy DSP_PLAY.ACC to C:\
reboot and enjoy
Files to spread:
DSP_PLAY.PRG
DSP_PLAY.ACC
DSP_PLAY.TXT
Remaining problems:
- sometimes ( seldom ) the player hangs up at the end of an module
- when fading you can't klick at nothing
- modules not started from the desktop will stop at program termination
( not a bug, but not to avoid because of the TOS-memory-managment )
- every module will stop at a resolution change ( see above )
