What's new ?
• 2.0b
First 'serious' version of AMP (it is now a $10 shareware and postcardware for students).
The core engine hasn't been modified very much since v1.5, but the user interface is very different:
- the main window is nicer and pitch bend are clickable
- new control panel palette (like a CD player)
- new channel setup palettes (to see and change programs and controllers)
- new song catalog window which supports drag&drop from the Finder (to start a song, just double-click a name in the list)
AMP still works with either the MIDI Manager or QuickTime Instruments.
- When it uses QuickTime, AMP is now controller and pitch-bend aware.
- There is a new option for external devices that don't know the volume controller (#7); this can be simulated with the note velocity.
- Program changes in the drum channel can be disabled at startup by checking an option in the preference dialog.
• 2.0.1b
- with QT, the instrument selected is the one displayed (no more n-1 offset)
- the right border of the hilite frame of the song list is drawn
- new 'Rnd' (random play) button
- improved song window drawing
- launching the application with documents doesn't make it crash anymore
- a "Reset all controllers" message is sent a the beginning of each song
- menu commands for Play, Stop, Pause, Forward, Next, Previous, Random
• 2.0.2b
- internal changes (segment locked)
• 2.0.2b1
- try to fix the bug that makes AMP crash on MacIIci (and probably other Mac). It seems that's caused by the Floating Point Unit (PowerPC haven't that problem because they don't emulate the MC68881 even if they have their own FPU). Now the player doesn't use floating numbers anymore.
- the player takes less time during background tasks, so it is faster.
• 2.0.2b2
- fix another bug about FPU…
Things to do…
- remember window positions
- piano and guitar windows
- a window with the time on the horizontal axis
- find the bug that makes the application crash on some machines after he has played about a minute
