Bugs: Playing samples through Soundblaster has problems, I've routed them
through the speaker for now. (Only a problem when in 's' menu).
Spectrum sometimes leaves little RED bars. See MP.DOC for details.
***** Whats been asked for
o Driving Midi equipment, Graphic 'scope & ARJ archive support
***** Coming Soon
o Documentation on the MOD format & Better command line stuff
o Adlib Gold 9 bit stereo support (this will sound better than the Amiga!)
o Soundblaster Pro stereo support (this will sound equivalent to the Amiga!)
** New in 2.10
o Fixed mp/o display of ZIP files
o Fixed Soundblaster Detect routines
o Fixed sample playback through user defined D/A board
o Global volume contol (F11/F12) and channel toggle (1,2,3,4)
o Fixed Tone Portamento at last (Thanks U4IA!)
** New in 2.09B
o Fixed Help display F1 when playing a mod.
o Protracker compatible - thats an extra 20 commands!
o Started using a source code control system (about time too!) so mp /v
now lists status and version numbers of all source files. MODRES has
got a little big now though (>14k) and looks to get larger! I've
thought of a way to halve the size, and may get around to implementing
it this christmas.
** New in 2.06
o Partly fixed >40 bug. Now loads em - but wont play extended patterns
o Added processor speed detect (initially - type MP /v)
o Finally fixed Stereo-on-1 totally. thats it. no more!
o Protracker command - Sample offset =9 - useful for Sampled Annie!
** New in 2.05
o Added Spectrum Analyser mode (try F7/8/9/10)
Its a REAL SPECTRUM ANALYSIS - not one of these fake ones you find on other
trackers - try playing a speech wave and you will see what I mean.
o Got rid of cursor in top left of screen
o Fixed Stereo-on-1 port that did not work on some machines
o Test of Disney output
o In sample menu, F1/F2/F3 change octave and 1,2,..6 play sample at
any pitch. (1=C, 2=D etc)
o Fixed Volume slide (was ignored)
o New directory routine - faster scanning, only 1 pass!
o PGUP/DN now correct way round!
o New help when playing a file
o Displays program information by pressing 'v'
o New routines that look at BIOS to find the address of your parallel port
Now should work with non-standard addresses. New command line options
to select these new devices.
o Detects modules compiled with MODEDIT v1.20 onwards.
o Tagged modules play in order tagged.
** New in 2.00
o New 's' menu now lets you play with 31st sample (bug fix)
o Now sorts directory into alphabetical order
o Displays size of archives.
o New Help pop-up
o New 'C' change output menu-type display with mouse support
o Allowing Shareware places to distribute MODPLAY at their usually large
prices. I don't agree with this really, its just as lots of people have
said they cannot get MODPLAY easily.
o Fixed bug that meant MP2.00ß would crash if you didn't have a SBlaster and
you had two printer ports (or your name was John).
** New in 2.00ß (CIX/GREY/REL)
o Can tag ZIP files.
o DABS PRESS provided Soundblaster board. Now with full soundblaster
support and autodetection of base address.
o Got rid of MP128, MP now handles these modules itself.
o Plays samples over 64k from sample menu
o Have up to 1000 modules in a directory!
o Now writes out sample in correct format for MODEDIT ('s','w')
o F1 and F2 alter character of moving bars when playing
o F3 and F4 alter the colour of the moving bars
o -dxx option where xx is hex of character you want as moving bars.
o Playing a mod when in sample mode ('s','m') now displays bars
o PAGEDOWN skips a track backwards, HOME to the start of the song and
END now is the pause key
o Doesnt crash if you switch out of turbo mode. Will run on 8Mhz machine
but sound sloooowww.
o Page numbers greater than 10 now work.
o Autodetects and support for 'stereo-in-1' board
o Partial mouse support, lets you change dir, play and page up/down only
o Now displays a 'o' for each archive as well
o OOpps - if you only had .ZIPs in your dir it would find only the first
25. Fixed.
o Added support for 4 track Startrekker modules as these looked like normal
modules but crashed on playback. (Ghostbust.mod, dots.mod)
o Volumes >128 (illegal) were rounded to 0 when they should have been
rounded to MAX_VOLUME, only noticable in MCHAMMER.MOD
o Added new key - PageUp skips a complete track
o Fixed bug in Vibrato command (oops!)
o New key - PageDn pauses (almost). Start again with down cursor
** New in 1.35
o New key 'd' lets you delete a module or archive (with confirmation)
o Arpeggio didn't work at all! it sounded really wierd on some mods - have
now fixed it!
o Included a second file that will play modules with samples in them that
are >64k - this program will only work on machines 16Mhz or faster for the
time being.
o ! Shell now looks at COMSPEC. Can now play ZIP and LZH archives of
modules (archive must contain only one file with a .MOD extension
example - LVBRAIN.ZIP containing LVBRAIN.MOD). two files must be
present on your path, LHA and PKUNZIP which are called to
unarchive your modules (these can be batch files)
** New in 1.30

of screen, more room for more mods.

o Can now move around directories
o MP * now stops looping modules looping, whilst they play as intended
in interactive mode
o Now gives estimated time display for each module
o /o option for cataloging modules
o User definable output port for Mono and/or Stereo mode (for people

o Does not crash if it finds more than 500 modules in a directory
o Module file sizes are now displayed
o Elapsed time display when playing a module
o Displays filename of Module playing in multi-play mode (MP *)
