HiScan V1.00
Copyright ⌐ 1995 by ENSONIC of TRINOMIC
HiScan is a small >=OS 2.0 utility wich opens a productivity-screen to make
playbackrates >28000 Hz possible.
How to use it ?
---------------
To run HiScan you need an AMIGA with OS-Version >=2.0 and a monitor which can
display 31 kHz-modi (VGA/Multiscan). The multiscann-monitor-driver must be
activated too (you have to copy it from "storage/monitors" to "devs/monitors").
!!! BUT DO NOT DO THIS, IF YOU HAVE ONLY A 15 kHz MONITOR LIKE THE A1084 !!!
To start the programm, simply type "HiScan" in your shell-window ans press the
return-key. After thet a screen with a high scanrate should be opened.
Bring the screen of your music-software to front. Enter a high playbackrate and
start playback. Than switch the HiScan-screen to front and you will see (or
hear) that everything sounds correct (I`ll hope so !)
To leave the HiScan use "CTRL-C" or sending a break to the process.
Why use it ?
------------
Some music-programms , e.g. Symphonie (great !) or PS3M (also great !) let you
enter the mix-playbackrate. But rates >28000 Hz are only available if a double-
scan-Screen is displayed. Why that ? It`s very simple. You must imagine how the
display- and playback-process works. If the AMIGA displays one line, he has 4
16-bit cycles for sampleplayback (for every channel one cycle). That means if
the vertikal frequency is double, the highest possible playbackrate will be
double too. Now you can say - I will simply open the programm-screen in a
double-scan-mode. But
1. this modes are very slow.
2. my flickerfixer don`t display it correct (and i don`t want to buy a mo-
nitor-switchbox).
So I decided to write this very small programm. The sourcecode is included. But
there is nothing very special.
