Welcome to the Demo version of Digiplay !
NEWS IN DIGIPLAY DEMO 1.0a
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
A bug sliped by us in the last Demo version (1.0).
The bug was that when you moved the mouse, the sound went VERY bad, with
crackle as a result. The bug only existed with ST-sound and cartridges.
In this Demo version this is fixed, but in extreme cases a click may still
be heard..
As a bonus, this Demo version also runs as a .ACC program.
On some STmachines, the sound can hang when running as a .ACC program.
If this happens, just press "ALTERNATE-HELP", and everything will go back to
normal again. This is a "bug" in TOS, and we are working hard to avoid this
problem in the next update of Digiplay. It has to do with TOS suddenly takes
more processor time than Digiplay leaves.
On a ordinary ST, we stop the music when a disk access is in progress. We do
that to ensure correct handling af the disk routines. This only happens when
running as a .ACC program.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Digiplay is a player for almost all different MODule formats that exist on
the Atari ST and Amiga. Digiplay is not a complete music program as Digi
Composer, it's only a player that enabels you to listen to modules created by
programs like Digi Composer or similar. If you've never tested creating music
on a computer, now is the time !
Try getting one of our other programs named "Digi Composer". It is a complete
music program for creating those MODules that Digiplay can play without need
for the complete music program.
Digi Composer can be found at most PD libraries, or at most public BBS sites
that carry Atari ST software. The REAL version of Digiplay is not PD or
Shareware. It can only be bought direct from us here in Sweden (May change in
the future).
This Demoversion is free, and you can copy it to anybody you wish.
Digiplay demo is missing LOTS of functions of the real program that can be
bought from us. The demo version also has a maximum playing time of 60
seconds. After that, you must quit and load again to be able to hear more
modules.
The real version of Digiplay carry the following functions :
* Runs in three modes - .ACC .PRG and .TOS/TTP. Runtime parameters can set in
all modes.
* Multitasks in .ACC mode on ALL Atari ST computers.
* 100% system friendly.
* Supports all different screen resolutions, including grafix cards.
* Supports internal soundchips of the Atari ST/STE/TT computers, as well as
the following cartridges : Replay, Replay PRO, Playback, MV 16 and
Prosound.
* Save your favorite preferences.
* Works on all Atari computers. From a 520 STM to a TT/030.
* Three different velocity tabels for finetuning.
* Supports environment variables.
