$VER: Genies.doc V2.01 (17.04.1994)
Copyright 1994 by Delirium Softdesign
(Peter Kunath and Frank Riffel)
In this document file are all genies listed that are offically released
or supported by Delirium Softdesign. A description of the standard menus
of the GUI is ommited. Only genie specific GUI elements are described
herein.
1. NOTEPLAYER GENIES
Noteplayers that use MEMF_PUBLIC or MEMF_ANY require only a small chipmem
buffer for playing the samples. This enables you to load modules that are
even bigger than your actual chipmem. On the other hand this will cost
you some extra cpu cycles.
Name Description
========================== ===========================================
AudioDev-NotePlayer Up to 4 Voices. Uses MEMF_CHIP to hold the
samples. Uses the audio.device.
GUI: Selection of the allocation presedence
of the channels.
Note: Some programs incorrectly using the
audio.device will have problems. Term 3.4
is one of them. You can avoid the problems
if you select 127 as allocation precedence.
But then one of the advantages of this
Noteplayer is gone away.
4Voices-NotePlayer Up to 4 Voices. Uses MEMF_ANY to hold the
samples. Only a 1KB chipmembuffer is used.
GUI: Each channel can be enabled/disabled.
8Voices-NotePlayer Up to 8 Voices. Uses MEMF_ANY to hold the
samples. Thanks to Jörg Schmidt. The mixing
routine is © 1991 by Maxon Computer GmbH.
GUI: Each channel can be enabled/disabled.
32Voices-NotePlayer Up to 32 Voices. Uses MEMF_ANY to hold the
samples. Uses DeliMix.
GUI: Left and Right stereo channel can be
enabled or disabled. The Mixfrequency can
be set between 4 kHz and 60 kHz.
32Voices-NotePlayerPlus Up to 32 Voices. Uses MEMF_ANY to hold the
samples. Uses DeliMix.
GUI: Left and Right stereo channel can be
enabled or disabled. Additionaly there is
a volume boost slider. There are some trade
off's with this NotePlayer: It requires
quite a lot of cpu power and the 8-Bit
volume scaling introduces some noise. The
Mixfrequency can be set between 4 kHz and
60 kHz.
14Bit-NotePlayer Up to 8 Voices. Uses MEMF_ANY to hold the
samples. Uses DeliMix. The mixing result
will be output with 14Bit quality.
GUI: Left and Right stereo channel can be
enabled or disabled. The Mixfrequency can
be set between 4 kHz and 60 kHz.
ModSave-NotePlayer Up to 16 Voices. Uses MEMF_ANY to hold the
samples. Uses DeliMix. With this noteplayer
you can transform your favorite modules
into samples :-)
GUI: Left and Right stereo channel can be
enabled or disabled. The Mixfrequency can
be set between 4 kHz and 60 kHz. If the
'Save Sample' gadget is checked an IFF-8SVX
sample will be written to the file you have
specified in the 'Filename' gadget. If no
filename is given, a filerequester will pop
up and ask you. With the 'Mode' Cyclegadget
you can select whether a Mono or a Stereo
sample should be created. In Mono mode up to
four channels are saved. In Stereo Mode, up
to sixteen channels are saved.
2.DECRUNCH GENIES
