Short: 14bit NotePlayer V2.66 (UPDATED)
Author: Improvements by Chris Hodges
Uploader: platon@cu-muc.de (Chris Hodges)
Version: V2.66 (16-Jun-98)
Type: mus/play
Requires: DeliTracker V2.xx
Replaces: mus/play/Deli14BitGenie*
14bit NotePlayer Genie V2.66 (16-Jun-98)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Introduction
~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is the well known 14bit NotePlayer that comes with the DeliTracker
distribution. After Peter Kunath gave me the sourcecode, I was able to add
various features. Please notice that you need at least an MC68020 to use
them as the MC68000 routines have been left untouched! So there's NO reason
for MC68000 owners to download this new genie.
Plenty of cpu power is appreciated (although the Genie will not be slower
when not using the new features). You will need an MC68060 to be able to
mix at frequencies higher than 50KHz with Panning and Interpolation and 32
voices 8-D
Small list of new features/improvements:
- Now uses a faster longword chipmem transfer.
- Added Panning support (e.g. for FastTracker modules).
- Added stereo width slider (so this incorporates the HeadPhones Genie).
- Added Interpolation mode for high quality mixing.
- Added DSP Routines: Echo (Reverb), Hall (Reverb with feedback) and
Reverser (each one is available in Mono, Cross or Center mode).
- Added ModSave function (16 Bit AIFF or RAW file).
- The ModSave routine has a Normalize option which will do a peak search.
- The ModSaver also will cut off NULL-samples at the beginning and at the
end of a saved soundfile.
- Actual (DMA) mixing frequency is now displayed aswell.
- Now uses a 256 samples buffer instead of 200, which speeds things up a
little and doesn't cost too much precision.
- Settings can be saved individually for each module.
History
~~~~~~~
V2.65 (06-Jun-98):
- First public (AmiNet) release of the new version.
V2.66 (16-Jun-98):
- Doubled the ModSave Buffers (now 128KB) for slower machines to avoid
overflows. This flaw has been reported by Ralph Bernecker.
- Detected a bug which would not flush the last ModSave Buffer if a PCM
RAW file should have been written. Fixed.
- Added feature to cut off trailing NULL-samples when doing a ModSave.
- Added busy pointer during truncating or normalizing process.
- Now you'll get a file request when pressing return in an empty Filename
string gadget.
- All settings can now be saved individually for each module.
- Interpolation routine now uses 15bit accuracy instead of 8bit for
subsample factor calculation (just a little bit slower).
