╘HIS PROGRAM IS RELEASED AS ╙╚┴╥┼╫┴╥┼ AND IS ╬╧╘ TO BE CONSIDERED AS
╨UBLIC ─OMAIN OR ╞REEWARE. ┘OU MAY FREELY COPY AND DISTRIBUTE THIS PROGRAM
AS LONG AS ┴╠╠ FILES IN THE ORIGINAL ARCHIVE ARE INCLUDED AND NO FEE IS
CHARGED, OTHER THAN FOR COST OF MEDIA.
╔F YOU FIND THIS PROGRAM USEFUL AND/OR USE IT REPEATEDLY THEN SEND A
$5.00 ╥EGISTRATION ╞EE. ╫HEN YOU SEND IN THE FEE YOU WILL RECEIVE A LETTER
ACKNOWLEDGING THE RECEIPT OF YOUR FEE AND GIVE YOU A PASSWORD AND AN
ACCOUNT ON A ┬┬╙ WITH ACCESS TO A RESERVED AREA FOR REGISTERED ─IGIPLAYER
USERS. ╘HIS AREA WILL CONTAIN MANY DIGITIZED SAMPLES IN ARCED FORMAT.
╘HESE SAMPLES WILL RANGE FROM SOUND EFFECTS TO INSTRUMENTS TO ENTIRE SONGS.
╔F YOU SEND IN A $10.00 ╥EGISTRATION ╞EE YOU WILL RECEIVE ALL OF THE
ABOVE AS WELL AS A DISK WITH A PLAYER MODULE YOU CAN INCLUDE IN YOUR OWN
BASIC OR ═╠ PROGRAMS AS WELL AS THE SOURCE CODE FOR THE MODULE.
═ANY PEOPLE DO NOT LIKE ╙╚┴╥┼╫┴╥┼ AND YOU WILL FIND THAT THE ONES THAT
SEEM TO DISLIKE IT THE MOST ARE THE PEOPLE THAT NEVER WANT TO ╨┴┘ FOR
ANYTHING. ╘HE CONCEPT OF ╙╚┴╥┼╫┴╥┼ IS A GOOD ONE AS LONG AS PEOPLE ╙╒╨╨╧╥╘
IT AND TODATE FROM MY OWN EXPERIENCE THE SUPPORT IS VERY LACKING.
╙╚┴╥┼╫┴╥┼ ALLOWS PEOPLE THAT CANNOT MARKET A PRODUCT (EITHER BECAUSE OF A
LACK OF FUNDS ON THEIR PART OR LACK OF INTEREST BY THE SOFTWARE PUBLISHERS)
TO SELL THEIR PRODUCT ON A TRY BEFORE YOU BUY BASIS. ╩UST BECAUSE A
PROGRAM IS ╙╚┴╥┼╫┴╥┼ DOESN'T MEAN IT ISN'T A GOOD PROGRAM. ╘HERE ARE MANY
╙╚┴╥┼╫┴╥┼ PROGRAMS THAT ARE NOT WORTH THE DOWNLOAD TIME BUT THE ONES THAT
┴╥┼ SHOULD BE SUPPORTED BY A ╙╚┴╥┼╫┴╥┼ ─ONATION TO THE ┴UTHOR FOR THEIR
EFFORTS.
╔F A PROGRAMMER RELEASES A GOOD PROGRAM AS ╙╚┴╥┼╫┴╥┼ AND THE PROGRAM
IS SEEN TO GAIN WIDE SPREAD ACCEPTANCE AND USE BUT PROGRAMMER ONLY GETS A
FEW DONATIONS YOU CAN REST ASSURED YOU HAVE ╠╧╙╘ A PROGRAMMER. ╧NE OF THE
REASONS YOU CANNOT FIND VERY MUCH IN THE WAY OF ╟╧╧─ SOFTWARE FOR THE
├-64/128 ON ┬┬╙ SYSTEMS IS BECAUSE THE PROGRAMMERS HAVE GIVEN UP. ╫HY HAVE
THEY GIVEN UP? ╘HE REASON IS OBVIOUS AS MOST PEOPLE TAKE AND NEVER GIVE.
╔ HAVE SEEN PEOPLE LEAVE LONG TIRADES TO A PROGRAMMER, THAT UPLOADED A ╟╧╧─
PROGRAM AS ╙╚┴╥┼╫┴╥┼, ABOUT HOW THEY THINK IT SHOULD BE FREE AND THEY WILL
NEVER DOWNLOAD IT BECAUSE IT ISN'T ╨─. ╘HIS ATTITUDE IS COMPLETELY
DISGUSTING. ╔F A PROGRAMMER RECEIVES ╙╚┴╥┼╫┴╥┼ ╞┼┼S FOR A PROGRAM THEN YOU
CAN BET HE WILL WORK ON OTHER PROJECTS FOR THE ├-64/128. ╩UST TAKE A LOOK
AT THE ╠IBRARIES ON ╤UANTUM ╠INK AND YOU WILL SEE THERE IS VERY LITTLE
UPLOADED TO THE ┴PPLICATIONS OR ╟AMES AREAS. ═OST OF THE ╒PLOADS ARE
╨ICTURES, ┼URO─EMOS AND ╙╔─ ╞ILES. ╘HE REASON FOR THIS IS THAT PROGRAMMERS
WILL NOT TAKE THE TIME TO MAKE A PROGRAM AND THEN ╟╔╓┼ IT AWAY AS IT TAKES
A LOT OF TIME AND EFFORT TO CREATE SOMETHING GOOD. ╫HAT IT COMES DOWN TO
IS THIS, IF YOU WANT TO SEE MORE PROGRAMS ON THE ┬┬╙S THEN YOU NEED TO
SUPPORT THOSE ╙╚┴╥┼╫┴╥┼ AUTHORS THAT RELEASE GOOD SOFTWARE.
╘HIS PROGRAM IS GOING TO BE A ╘┼╙╘. ╔F ╔ RECEIVE A FAIRLY GOOD
RESPONSE THEN ╔ WILL CONTINUE TO WRITE NEW SOFTWARE FOR THE ├-64/128. ╔F
THE RESPONSE IS DISMAL THEN ╔ WILL CONCENTRATE MY EFFORTS ON ANOTHER
COMPUTER SYSTEM AND LEAVE THE ├-64/128 AREA. ╘HE CHOICE IS NOW UPTO YOU
THE USER.

╘HIS PROGRAM HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO CONVERT ┴MIGA, ┴TARI ╙╘, ┴PPLE ╔╔/╟╙
AND ═ACINTOSH DIGITIZED SOUND SAMPLES TO A FORM THAT CAN BE USED ON THE
├OMMODORE 64/128 COMPUTER SYSTEM. ╘HE PROGRAM FULLY SUPPORTS THE 1700,
1764 AND 1750 ╥AM ┼XPANSION ╒NITS FROM ├OMMODORE. ╫ITH THE USE OF A 1750
╥┼╒ YOU CAN CONVERT A 900K ┴MIGA ─IGITIZED ╙AMPLE FOR USE ON THE ├-64/128.
╘HE PROGRAM ALLOWS THE USER TO PLAY SAMPLES FROM THE ╥┼╒ IN ANY ORDER,
BUILD LARGE SAMPLES FROM MANY SMALL ONES AND CONVERT SINGLE OCTAVE ┴MIGA
╔NSTRUMENT ╙AMPLES INTO A FORM THAT CAN BE USED BY ╘HE ╙TEREO ╙YSTEM.
╘HE PLAYER ROUTINE HAS BEEN COMPLETELY REDESIGNED AND A NEW PLAYER
ROUTINE HAS BEEN ADDED. ╫ITH THE REDESIGNED PLAYER THE PROGRAM CAN NOW
ACHIVE PLAYBACK SPEEDS OF ABOUT 25K PER SECOND. ╘HIS IS EXCEPTIONAL ON A
1MHZ COMPUTER WITH A VIDEO OVERHEAD. ╘HE NEW ROUTINE THAT HAS BEEN ADDED
WILL ALLOW FOR FAR GREATER CONTROL OVER PLAYBACK SPEEDS. ╘HE NEW ROUTINE
WILL ALSO ALLOW DIGITIZED SAMPLES PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND. ╘HIS MEANS
YOU COULD EFFECTIVELY HAVE DIGITIZED SOUND EFFECTS IN GAMES WITHOUT HAVING
THE GAME STOP TO PLAY THE SAMPLE.
─UE TO A REDESIGN OF THE ╙╔─ CHIP USED IN THE 128─ AND THE NEWER 64├
MODELS YOU ═┴┘ HAVE SUBDUED OR NONEXISTANT SOUND REPRODUCTION. ┬E SURE TO
TURN THE COMPUTER ╧╞╞, ╫┴╔╘ AND THEN ╧╬ IF YOU HAVE MUTED SOUND. ╘HIS CAN
RESET A ╙╔─ CHIP FOR SOUND REPRODUCTION WHERE SOFTWARE CANNOT.
┴LL OF THE CONTROLS IN THE PROGRAM USE THE ├╒╥╙╧╥ AND ╥┼╘╒╥╬ KEYS.
╘HE ├╒╥╙╧╥ ╒╨/─╧╫╬ KEY WILL CAUSE THE ITEM SELECTOR TO MOVE DOWN. ╘HE
├╒╥╙╧╥ ╠┼╞╘/╥╔╟╚╘ KEY WILL CAUSE THE ITEM SELECTOR TO MOVE UP. ╘HE ╥┼╘╒╥╬

HIGHLIGHTED IN ╫╚╔╘┼.
5. ╘HIS IS THE ═ENU ┴REA WHERE YOU MAY SELECT THE OPERATION OF YOUR CHOICE.
6. ╘HIS IS THE ╞ILENAME AREA. ╘HE CURRENT LOADED SAMPLE NAME WILL BE
DISPLAYED HERE AND THIS IS WHERE YOU ENTER THE FILENAMES FOR FILES TO LOAD
AND SAVE.
7. ╘HIS AREA WILL DISPLAY THE DRIVE ERROR CHANNEL DATA AFTER EVERY DISK
OPERATION. ╘HE ─╧╙ ├╧══┴╬─ AND ╨╠┴┘ ╞╥╧═ ╥┼╒ COMMANDS WILL USE THIS AREA
AS WELL.
╨╠┴┘ ╧╬├┼
╘HIS WILL PLAY THE SOUND SAMPLE THAT CURRENTLY RESIDES IN MEMORY. ╔F
THE SAMPLE LENGTH IS 0 THIS OPERATION WILL BE ABORTED.
╨╠┴┘ ╥┼╨┼┴╘┼─╠┘
╘HE SAMPLE IN MEMORY WILL BE PLAYED REPEATEDLY UNTIL THE ╥┼╘╒╥╬ KEY IS
PRESSED TO ABORT THE SEQUENCE. ╔F YOU HAVE SELECTED A PLAYBACK SPEED OF
1-24 THEN YOU ═╒╙╘ HOLD DOWN THE ╥┼╘╒╥╬ KEY UNTIL THE SAMPLE STOPS. ╔F A
SPEED OF 25-255 IS SELECTED YOU DO NOT NEED TO HOLD THE RETURN KEY DOWN AS
THE PLAYBACK WILL STOP WHEN IT HITS THE END OF THE SAMPLE.
╨╠┴┘ ╞╥╧═ ╥┼╒
╫HEN THIS OPTION IS SELECTED AND AN ╥┼╒ IS CONNECTED YOU CAN PLAY

╫HEN THE ┴ ITEM IS SELECTED THEN ┴╠╠ OF THE ╥┼╒ ┬┴╬╦╙ WILL BE CHECKED
FOR SOUND SAMPLES AND THEN EACH BANK WILL BE PLAYED IN CONSECUTIVE ORDER.
╨AGE 4
─IGIPLAYER ╓ERSION 3.1
╘HE ╙ ITEM WILL ALLOW YOU TO BUILD A ╨LAYBACK ╙CRIPT FOR THE SAMPLES
STORED IN THE ╥┼╒. ╔N THIS MANNER YOU CAN CREATE LONG PLAYBACKS BY MIXING
THE STORED SAMPLES. ╫HEN THIS ITEM IS SELECTED A PROMPT WILL APPEAR AT THE
BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN SIMILAR TO THE ─╧╙ ├╧══┴╬─ PROMPT. ┘OU CAN THEN ENTER
A SCRIPT PATTERN USING THE BANK NUMBERS. ╘HE PROGRAM WILL NOT LET YOU
ENTER ANY BANK NUMBER ╧╓┼╥ THE NUMBER OF BANKS THAT EXIST IN YOUR ╥┼╒. ╔F
YOU HAVE ALREADY ENTERED A ╙CRIPT ╨ATTERN THEN IT WILL BE DISPLAYED SO YOU

╘HE PROGRAM WILL PLAY THE SAMPLES IN ╥┼╒ ┬ANKS 1, 2, 4, 2 AND ECT. ╔F
A BANK IS ┼MPTY THEN IT WILL BE BYPASSED.
╨╠┴┘ ╙╨┼┼─
╫HEN THIS ITEM IS SELECTED YOU MUST USE THE CURSOR KEYS TO CHANGE THE
PLAYBACK SPEED AND THE ╥┼╘╒╥╬ KEY TO INSTALL THE NEW SPEED.
╙PEEDS OF 1-24 USE THE MODIFIED ╧╠─ PLAYER ROUTINES FROM ─IGIPLAYER
2.0 AND WILL BE DISPLAYED AS ┘┼╠╠╧╫ ON THE MENU. ╘HE NEW ROUTINE IS FASTER
THAN THE ─IGIPLAYER 2.0 ROUTINES SO YOU WILL HAVE TO RESAVE THE SAMPLES
USING NEW SPEEDS.
╙PEEDS OF 25-255 USE A NEW ╬═╔ ╔NTERRUPT DRIVEN ROUTINE THAT WILL
ALLOW FOR A ├╠┼┴╬┼╥ PLAYBACK OF SOUND SAMPLES AND WILL BE DISPLAYED IN
GRAY. ═ANY OF THE NEW SPEEDS WILL SOUND JUST AS CLEAR WITH THE ╓IDEO
DISPLAY ╧╬ AS ╧╞╞. ╘HE PLAYBACK SPEED CAN ALSO BE MORE FINELY TUNED USING
THESE SPEEDS. ╘HE ONE DRAWBACK IS THAT THE ROUTINES ARE ╬╧╘ AS FAST AS THE
╬╧╬-╬═╔ (1-24) SPEEDS. ┴ SPEED OF 25 IS ROUGHLY EQUIVALENT TO 13.
╓╔─┼╧ ═╧─┼

CREATE AN ENTIRE SONG USING THIS METHOD IN CONJUNCTION WITH AN ╥┼╒.
╠╧┴─ ╥┴╫ ╞┴╙╘
╘HIS FUNCTIONS IDENTICALLY TO THE ╠╧┴─ ╥┴╫ ╙╠╧╫ COMMAND BUT USES A

╧╬╠┘ BE USED ON 100% COMPATIBLE 1541/71 DISK DRIVES.
╠╧┴─ ╙├╥╔╨╘
╘HIS COMMAND WILL LOAD IN ANY SCRIPT FILE (THOSE WITH THE .╙├╥
DESIGNATION) AND ITS ASSOCIATED FILES. ╫HEN THIS COMMAND IS SELECTED YOU
WILL SEE A SELECTOR SIMILAR TO THE ONE BELOW.
╞┴╙╘ ╧╥ ╙╠╧╫ ╠╧┴─: ╞╙
╔F YOU SELECT ╞ THEN ALL OF THE FILES WILL BE LOADED USING THE
SPEEDLOADER ROUTINES WHILE THE ╙ WILL LOAD USING THE SLOW KERNAL ROUTINES.

STORED IN THE ╥┼╒ WILL BE ┼╥┴╙┼─ WHEN THIS COMMAND IS SELECTED.
╠╧┴─ ┴═╔╟┴
╘HIS COMMAND WILL ALLOW YOU TO CONVERT JUST ABOUT ANY ┴MIGA ╔╞╞ SOUND
SAMPLE TO A FORM THAT CAN BE USED BY THE ├OMMODORE 64/128. ╘HIS PROCESS
WILL TAKE SOME TIME AS IT WILL ALSO BE REDUCING THE SIZE OF THE SAMPLE TO
HALF OF ITS ORIGINAL SIZE. ╘HE SAMPLE WILL BE GIVEN A DEFAULT PLAYBACK
SPEED OF 150. ╫ITH THE USE OF A 1750 ╥┼╒ THIS COMMAND CAN CONVERT UPTO A
900K ╙OUND ╙AMPLE. ╫HEN THE ├-64S RAM BECOMES FULL AND AN ╥┼╒ IS PRESENT
THE CONTENTS OF THE 64S ╥┴═ WILL BE MOVED TO THE FIRST AVAILIBLE ╥┴═ ┬┴╬╦.
╘HE PROCESS WILL CONTINUE ALL OVER AGAIN UNTIL THE ENTIRE FILE HAS BEEN

╫HEN THIS COMMAND IS SELECTED ALL OF THE ╥┼╒ ┬┴╬╦╙ ARE CLEARED. ╘O
ADJUST THE PLAYBACK SPEED AND SAVE EACH OF THE SAMPLES YOU WILL HAVE TO USE
THE ╨╠┴┘ ╞╥╧═ ╥┼╒ TO MOVE EACH OF THE SAMPLES TO THE 64S ═┼═╧╥┘ SO YOU CAN
ADJUST THE ╙╨┼┼─ AND SAVE THE SAMPLE. ╧NCE YOU HAVE SAVED THE ╙┴═╨╠┼ YOU
SHOULD THEN SAVE THE SAMPLE ┬┴├╦ TO THE ╥┼╒ BANK IT WAS LOADED FROM. ╘HIS
WILL SAVE THE NEW FILENAME AND SPEED FOR EACH FILE IN THE ╥┼╒. ╔F YOU DO
NOT DO THIS AND THEN SAVE A ╙├╥╔╨╘ TO DISK YOU WILL HAVE A PROBLEM. ╘HE
MAIN PROBLEM WILL BE THAT ┴╠╠ OF THE SAMPLES WILL HAVE THE ╙┴═┼ FILENAME IN
THE ╙├╥╔╨╘ FILE. ╘HIS WILL CAUSE ONLY ╧╬┼ SAMPLE TO BE LOADED INTO EACH OF
THE BANKS INSTEAD OF THE CORRECT SAMPLES.
┴N EXAMPLE OF THIS WOULD BE THE CONVERSION OF A 300K ┴MIGA FILE WITH
THE NAME OF ┼╪┴═╨╠┼. ╘HE CONVERSION WOULD SAVE THE SAMPLE TO 3 ╥┼╒ BANKS.
┼ACH ONE OF THESE BANKS WOULD HAVE THE NAME (┼╪┴═╨╠┼) ASSIGNED TO THEM. ╔F
YOU WERE TO SAVE A SCRIPT FILE WITHOUT CHANGING EACH OF THE SAMPLE NAMES IN
THE ╥┼╒ YOU WOULD HAVE A ╙├╥╔╨╘ FILE THAT WOULD LOOK FOR A SAMPLE WITH THE

╘HIS COMMAND CAN ALSO BE USED TO ╥┼═╔╪ (RESAMPLE) EXISTING ╥┴╫ FILES
TO A SMALLER AND SLOWER PLAYBACK SPEED. ═ANY ╥┴╫ SAMPLES WILL SOUND
CLEARER AT THE SLOWER SPEEDS BECAUSE THE VIDEO CHIP WILL NO LONGER CAUSE
