15/7/96 - Version 2.03
- Bug fix: Sample loading routines stuffed up conversions on specific
file sizes of exact multiples of 32k.. fixed!
<Jacob Poon>
- Bug fix: Modifying a sample in the sample library will not cause the sign
conversion error (went wrong in IT202)
<Emmanuel Giasson>
- Bug fix: Amplifying an 8-bit sample past it's peaks will be clipped
properly (went wrong in IT202)
<Emmanuel Giasson>
- Bug fix: Fixed problem with divide overflows on the Info-Page's variable
screen.
<Catspaw & Fisherman for pointing it out>
- Bug fix: Sorting routine for the file lists updated so that duplicate
names do NOT cause weird on-screen effects. This was never a
problem in normal use, but with DOSLINK, and MODs Anthology
CD, this problem is apparent.
- Big fix: If you try to pattern break to a row outside of the next pattern's
range, then you will be moved to row 0 of the new pattern instead
<Coiled>
- Bug fix: *HOPEFULLY* the sample-flipping bug is fixed... I have spent a
LONG time looking for this..
- Modification: Maximum number of internal channels back up to 256.
- Modification: Loading a new instrument will delete all the samples that
the instrument used to 'own' *IF* no other instrument uses
those samples.
- Modification: Slight change to DOS Shell routines - hopefully DOS will
not corrupt IT's memory region now. I think it still may
be tho... :(
<Thanks to Higherbeing for fixup info>
- Modification: Finally got around to fixing up the 'End' function in the
pattern editor...
- Minor Addition: Ctrl-H will toggle a current-row hilight on/off in the
pattern editor.
- Minor Addition: With old effects on, tremor (Ixy) will tremor for ontime
(x+1) and offtime (y+1) for S3M compatibility. With old
effects off, it will tremor for ontime x and offtime y,
as expected.
- Minor Addition: Added Ctrl-E to refresh screen/cache date. This is
especially useful when Window'95 or some other program
has destroyed the screen...
- Minor Addition: Press 'V' on the info page to toggle between displaying
velocities and volumes for the volume bars.
- Minor Addition: Alt-H will centralise a sample - be warned, centralising a
sample CAN produce clicks (on any sound card).
- Addition: Fast volume amplification mode toggle on Ctrl-J.. here, set the
percentage value for future Alt-J and Alt-I commands (Alt-I
will reverse the setting of Alt-J.. ie. if you set 50%, Alt-J
will do 50%, Alt-I will do 200%). Saving all preferences will
save this mode also.
- Addition: Command line switch (/V2) for Matrox compatibility for the
character generation tables - the guys at Matrox didn't follow
the *VGA* register standard correctly...
<Mystical for telling me about it and testing out the solution>
- Addition: 669 (and 669 Enhanced), FAR, MTM and PTM in-module sample rippers.
(669, FAR, MTM, S3M, PTM, XM and IT now supported as sample
libraries)
- Addition: Preliminary mouse support... do *NOT* write to me about this,
because it *isn't* finished yet... You will NOT receive a reply
if you do write to me about this. Sorry :)
What the mouse *DOES* do at the moment:
Press buttons
Drag sliders
Toggle On/Off thingies
Envelopes (check 'em out :) )
For those of you who really despise the mouse, Ctrl-M will
remove the cursor. Commandline switch /x2 will remove the
mouse cursor.
Note: These mouse routines *MAY* not work on ALL computers,
because I really had to tweak the system to even get
it to work like this in text mode at all!
- Major Update to ALL playing routines - each sound device now has it's
own separate driver which is loaded as required. They *ALL* should be
Win95 compatible now.
You can reinitialise all sound output routines with Ctrl-I
Each driver has it's own screen which can be accessed on Shift-F5.
The Sound Blaster 16 driver has been greatly upgraded and now uses
16-bit output.
Interpolated mixing options.
- Addition: Native interwave support (includes Gravis UltraSound Plug'n'Play,
Gravis UltraSound Plug'n'Play Pro, Reveal WavExtreme 32,
Reveal WavExtreme 32 Pro, SoundRage 32, SoundRage 32 3D Pro,
DynaSonix Pro, DynaSonix 3D)
Note that this driver operates at a slightly lower volume than
the GUS Driver, due to the lower volume-overloading threshold
of the Interwave (compared to the GUS)
- Addition: Gravis UltraSound HiQuality driver - check out DRIVERS.DOC to
see how to use this (and to understand how this works)
Version 2.04 - Music Contest 4 version!
- Big fix: 32-bit SB16 routines had a problem with some effects (internal
volume was dropping to 0)..
<LuvK>
- Bug fix: To all mixed devices which supported interpolation, some samples
could have caused errors.
<ZaStaR>
- Update: The message editor will now accept and display hi-ascii.
Due to the limitations of the video mode, this hi-ascii
*may* not.. in fact, will not always be in the same colour as the
rest of the text (this depends on the palette configuration on
Ctrl-F12)..
All other areas of the program are still incapable of displaying
Hi-ASCII.
- Update: Completely new keyboard handler system! This is hopefully to
fix up any differences between international keyboard types.
- Addition: DAC on LPT1 and LPT2 drivers added.
- This version has the following restrictions: 32 channels maximum and does
NOT contain MMTSR internally - this is due to the restrictions of MC4
Version 2.04 - final release, 28/7/96
- Bug fixes: Several bug fixes made to the various sound drivers.
- Update: International keyboard support should be *COMPLETELY* fixed up now.
- Update: Better (MUCH more selective) channel allocation routines (for
instrument mode - noticeable on lower channel limits).
- Addition: Save-check on module loading/quitting the program
- Addition: Each instrument has a volume swing percentage swing associated
with it. What this means is that if you play a note at volume
40 with a swing of 10%, the volume will actually be played
somewhere between 36 and 44. (Less mechanical playback)
- Addition: Native PAS support!!!!!
Native PAS16 support!!!!!
Native SB AWE 32 support!!!!!!!
So maybe IT has the greatest soundcard support of all? :)
- read DRIVERS.DOC first.
Version 2.05
- Minor update: Full 256-ascii in message editor with uniform colour.
If you want to use the old (internal) character set,
press Ctrl-T to toggle sets.
- Minor updates to sound drivers...
- Minor addition: 24 track view on the info page - you may need to update
your IT.CFG file.
- Minor addition: Total time indication in pl
