v1.6 3.11.95 (Wired '95 release)
------------------------------------
-Sound Blaster AWE support (-cc5)
-AWE port is 6x0, not 2x0.
-reverb & chorus:
-does not modify effects engine parameters
-some midis use reverb & chorus
-ctrl-f5 / ctrl-f6 to slide master reverb down / up
-ctrl-f7 / ctrl-f8 to slide master chorus down / up
-ctrl-f4 to toggle between srnd/pan/bal and echo/rev/chr
-command line switches: -vrXXX for reverb/-vcXXX for chorus (-100..100)
-IMM available => load up to 112MB of samples to your AWE... >]
-plays up to 32 channels
-EMU8000 limitations:
-176.4kHz max. sample replay rate (this may seem to be no problem,
but consider a 44.1kHz sample played two ocataves above base).
Some high notes are not played, especially with midi.
-no 8 bit samples => half amount of memory when using only 8 bit samples
-no pingpong loops => converted to forward loops => less memory
-30 simultaneous notes max.
-no reverse playback direction
-Disk Writer device (-cc40)
-Sample Mode: analyse the CD, line or microphone input of your soundcard.
-play a track from the root of your cd drive
-play @:LINE.INP or @:MIC.INP to analyse line or microphone.
-if your cd drive is connected to the line input use the switch -cn
-available modes: a,x,g,shift-g,o
(the beloved ->würfel mode<- does not yet work!)
-only on SB 1.x/2.x/pro/16 & GUS at the moment
-the "Windows-95-one-file-only-bug" hopefully removed now
-this may also include a similar bug with dos.
-thanks to Michael Erdmann for helping me finding this $&&!!%-[≡] bug.
-pattern re/preview in track view
-gus can use system timer now: -ct (use this switch in combination with
-cg if the gus plays only the first few notes)
-new oscilloscope mode: master channel
-8x finer speed/pitch control. ENOUGH, GUYS?!!? press ctrl-f11 to toggle.
-Audio-only CDs should now work with every computer
-XM fadeout bug fixed
-AMS v2.2 support and generally improved
-runtime stability improved
-some smaller bugfixes & internal changes
-midi titles in fileselector (thanks go to R0M/vacuum for info).
-nice little helpful tool... you'll notice it if you should need it. :)
v1.5-TP4 The Party 4 CD-ROM 31.7.95
---------------------------------------
-cd audio support enabled (just crap... wasn't it?)
(tracks are in root of cd drive)
-AMS support... (v2.1 only)
(I only had one module to test, so please do not hit me!)
-some smaller bugfixes
v1.4 9.7.95
--------------------
-the long promised ultra-cool fileselector ][ implemented:
-module information cache
-MDZ files (see MDZFILE.NFO)
-composer, comment, style, playtime, type, date
-type depending colored modules (what???)
-132x60 mode and others
-online help
-setup (session only for the moment :( )
-faster
-scan in archives
-bug that crashes some systems NOT YET found... sorry!
-Pro Audio Spectrum series support (thanks go to Alexander Gerlach)
-Double GUS support (see DOC 3.6)
-freeze option: alt-p => no screen output, idle, for multitaskers.
-PTM support (thanks to Scholar / $een / Holofix for one important
piece of information! Der Rest war ja wohl ne Lachnummer!)
-FFI officially renamed to Fast-Fake-Interpolation... =) (alt-backspace)
-new: 48-bit-Adaptive-Oversampling-Interpolation (backspace)
and 64-bit-Full-Oversampling-Interpolation (2*backspace)
(FOI always intepolates, AOI only when really needed, but nearly no
difference). intepolation sometimes pops a bit... :(
-gus clicks reduced... (hiho iceman!)
-gus volumes were a bit wrong... amplify can now be turned up to 200%
-textmode analyser colored (tab to change)
-notedots colors improved
-GUS Intelligent Memory Multiplier's IQ raised :)
-chorus added to echos (thanks to Shadow Dancer)
-vesa bugfix for gsa fadeout... (thanks to Michael Erdmann)
-pattern jump/break fixed... (thanks to Christophe Yvon)
-WSS port now used correctly: (thanks to Sandro Richi)
use e.g. -cc20,p530,d1 for standard WSS
-smaller changes/bugfixes: SB, WSS, DMF, S3M, OKT, XM/volcol
v1.0 29.5.95
-------------------
-authors' addresses have changed, see cp.doc
-Intelligent Memory Multiplier. Enables you to upload up to 8 megs of
sampledata to your GUS, CP will try to keep the sound quality as high
as possible. (not just dull doubling... ;)
-Windows Sound System / GUS MAX CODEC support (-cc20 / -cc21)
-GUS daughterboard is WSS. (not tested)
-makes echos, surround and very very big mods possible on a GUS with a
daughterboard or a GUS MAX, though the normal GUS mode usually sounds much
better. backspace should improve the quality)
-detect only works with GUS daughterboard or GUS MAX.
normal WSS owners will have to set the port and dma manually.
(how to detect a WSS?)
-Advanced Note Dots => N
-FFT for no coprocessor systems added (-cf for copro owners)
-common spectrum analyser added in Graphic Spectrum Analyser mode.
(YEHS!, shift tab to change palette)
-big graphic spectrum analyser added: 1024*768, (SHIFT-G)
Pentium recommended for fast mode and Hexium recommended for fine mode.
Resolution could possibly not increase that much on soft-mixer devices.
-OKT support (thanks to Sheer/Patraa for OKTs)
-new pics, new anis, anis need less mem now.
-analysers for no-coprocessor systems added
-did you notice, that all 16 bit samples were converted down to 8 bits? ;)
the GUS driver now supports 16 bit samples...
-card handles changed:
0: Quiet
1: SoundBlaster 1.x
2: SoundBlaster 2.x
3: SoundBlaster Pro
4: SoundBlaster 16 / AWE32
10: Gravis UltraSound
20: Windows Sound System
21: GUS MAX CODEC
-GUS and serial communication improved (worked with my non-fifo at 19.2k)
-Slow computer owners may use -cqXXXXX to set the desired mixing rate at 32
channels, rates at a different number of channels will be interpolated,
but they will not go beyond the -crXXXXX rate.
(SiPiYou: Ok?)
-scopes/gsa modes changed to 640x480, since problems occurred with
some adaptors
-ms-dos seems to mess around with the fonts when using code pages,
which made the graphics mode's text writing routine crash.
-echo editor added. => E
does not work with the UltraSound driver, of course!
-new: file zapper in the fileselector => ctrl-k
wait for the new fileselector for a better one. this one was just
included due to many urgent requests, and not much work was put in it,
so please do not complain!
-DMF files sound much better now!
(yes, they really sound better with more effects... |^} )
Not all effects are implemented yet, so keep complaining!
(I don't think all of them will ever be implemented...
And finally more (all?) DMFs will be loaded!
(how should I know, that I cannot rely on the information in the DMF?)
All RR Chapter 6 DMFs will be played.
-the single-channel-scope-and-low-relative-pitch-bug removed.
-use -md to make midi channel 16 a drum channel.
(thanks go to Martin Moeller for this info)
-the panic.s3m-much-too-high-pitch-in-pattern-5-bug removed.
(wow, I finally found a solution... ;)
-loader bugfixes (XM, S3M, DMF, 669)
-player bugfixes (S3M, DMF)
-load old mods now stays on. (kick me for 0.96!)
-loop modules & midi works
-walking forward in midi files works
-esc esc 2 escape
-save/restore setting moved to alt-f2/f3
-alt-fX mode keys removed
