3.985 (11/7/96)
New e-mail address 'charles@cerise.ml.org' and minor changes
3.980 (10/21/96)
Bug fixes, mainly about module playing
WDFIL .S3M (Global volume)
STARFALL.XM (Note-off on track 0)
3.962 (9/30/96)
Now plays many 669, MOD, NST, MTM, S3M and XM more accurately than
Mod4Win 2.30, DMP 4.00, Inertia Player 1.21 and Cubic Player 1.7 !
* XM file format {complete} support
XM format brings new features
+ multi-sample intstruments (up to 128 instruments of 16 samples)
+ envelope generators for volume and panning, each with sustain
and loop mode
+ instrument fade out
+ new effects: global volume slide, panning slide left or right,
set volume envelope position, set vibrato speed
+ variable pattern length, from 1 to 256 rows
+ linear frequence table (allows a constant variation of pitch in
vibrati and pitch slides)
{+ Bidirectionnal sample loop (great with strings)}
* Global surround mode
* Enhanced file selector: 4 modes ! (1x17, 1x38, 7x16, 7x37
(columnsxrows)) with mouse
* Sizeable instrument list (and full screen mode)
* Mouse support
* User defineable colors in GUI (at will or select color schemes)
* Bug fixes, mainly in pattern reading (see MMP_REV.TXT
for more details)
Bug fixes :(
- surround mode
- configuration saving. Short pathnames are saved and environment
string MMP can be used to define the default path for MMP.CFG
- interrupt handler (conflicts with keyboard IRQ)
- S3Ms period calculation (now exact)
- Note delay (complete redesign)
- Tremor (init bug)
- Tremolo (too weak amplitude)
- Portamento (continue porta after a pitch slide)
- Position jump (when used with pattern break)
- Pattern break (buggy if row>0)
- Glissando switch implemented (MF_CRETI.XM)
And many internal changes to make MMP very stable and faster
Modules which WERE not read correctly (not exhaustive) :)
(I insist, they are NOW read perfectly ...)
1993 .MOD (note delay)
WIZBALL .MOD (note delay)
BACKWARD.S3M (pattern break)
CRONOLOG.S3M (note delay)
DESIRED .S3M (volume slide)
ICE .S3M (period calculation)
LEM-PART.S3M (empty instruments had to be used)
SANXION .S3M (pattern break)
SCAMEL .S3M (tremolo)
SNOWD .S3M (untyped instruments had to be discarded)
(This makes only a few modules on several hundreds ... but let's
listen to the XMs now ... ;) )
2.606 (5/7/96)
First Internet release with following features
* 669, MOD, MTM, NST, S3M music modules file formats
* Oversampling, clipping and digital low-pass filtering for
the best output
* DMP surround mode supported
* Nice graphics in high resolution (640x480) with sizeable objects
(oscillographs, spectrums, little keyboards ...)
* Memory modes: DOS, EMS and XMS in flat addressing mode
* SB Pro, SB 16/AWE 32 hardware support
