The Liquid Tracker's Revision History
║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║
╚═════╝══╩════╬ ╚════╝══╝ ╚════╝
.....Version 0.64ß.........................................[06/02/94]...
- Tracer is running a bar! (not centered for now though)
- Implemented Pattern Delay effect
- Enhanced Break Pattern effect, now supports where-to-start value
- Implemented "clear patterns" for ripping samples :)
- Now liquid will try extensions LIQ, MOD, STM at commandline
! Liquid is getting closer to be full ProTracker compatible:
only left: Arpeggio, Waveforms, FineTunes, Gliss and Tremolo
.....Version 0.63ß.........................................[26/01/94]...
- Clicks occurred when channels number was not even. fixed.
- Implemented ALT-A and ALT-Q to inc/dec halftone in marked
- Added 'Auto screen' feature. change to screen mode according to channels
number (usable only for Trident SVGA for now)
- STM loader enhanced.
- Some problems with channels on/off fixed
- Some outlook changes
.....Version 0.60ß.........................................[23/12/93]...
- Now Liquid runs approximately 30% faster with normal sound cards,
and about 50% faster with SB16.
- Now the module name can be supplied from the command line (e.g. LIQ AXELF.MOD)
- Many bugfixed in MOD loader, and better errors checking
- Better sound quality on 8 BIT cards.
- Added SoundTracker support (15 instruments modules)
- Added STM support
- Added WOW support
- Now you can test samples from the Samples Editor. just step on a number
field and hit the keyboard (useful for quick loop-testing!)
- Enhanced XMS routines
- Bugfixed in looping-sample routine (samples with a loop) causes the
machine to crash if loop values given were not correct (e.g. loop begin
was greater then loop end or even worst: equal)
- Most of ProTracker's effects are now implemented (and correctly,
unlike some other trackers around)
.....Version 0.50ß.........................................[27/11/93]...
- XMS support!
Now LIQUID are the FIRST playing routines that can utilized pure XMS
memory for samples, from real mode! now there's no need to reboot
with a slow v86 memory manager anymore! Liquid's XMS algorithm will
enable (in the future) all covox devices to enjoy the full benefits
of XMS memory, as EMS has many problems with covox devices (v86
stuff). remember: machine must be in real-mode for XMS support!
- Liquid now works also from v86 mode (without XMS usage)
- Fixed all various clicks, now the sound is CLEAR! with the SB16 playing
on high sampling rates (>33Mhz) the sky roars!
- Tracer is implemented. use ScrollLock to turn it on and off.
you can also use "real time" record but it's not too precise yet.
- Shell to dos is implemented.
- Global volume (software) is available. try ALT-F11, F12
- The samples names has been increased to 22 chars
- The file manager's screen appears now alot faster
- Some changes has been made to Liquid's info-panel outlook
- No more detection results on screen, to save time!
- Speed-up the font loading routine, now users with Console Drivers
(Like AnsiPlus) will not suffer from a long delay anymore whenever
screen mode is changing.
- if either DESQview or MS-Windows is detected, buffer size is increased
to 30000
- Some improvements and speeds-up to MOD loader
- The ProTracker's effects support race has begun! list of supported effects:
- BPM tempos (Axx with value >$30 [not $1C] )
- Portamento down (Dxx)┌──────────────────────────────────
- Portamento up (Exx) │ These are the effects from previous
- Volume Slide (Lxx) │ versions of Liquid:
- Finevolume up (M2x) │
- Finevolume up (M3x) │ - Cut pattern (Cxx)
- Retrig note (M6x) │ - Position jump (Jxx)
- Cut note (M7x) │ - Sample offset (Oxx)
- Delay note (M8x) │
.....Version 0.21ß.........................................[15/10/93]...
- Fixed the "A20" bug. now Liquid can operate with or without HIMEM.SYS!
- Detection routine fixed to support DMA <> 1
- Config file is implemented to save all default setups
- Fixed a bug occurred when <F8> was requested, and the device was SB 2.00.
that caused "stammering" (DMA didn't stop)
.....Version 0.20ß.........................................[12/10/93]...
- The Sound Blaster 16 and the Sound Blaster Pro are now supported
in full stereo
- Global keyboard handler. <F5> and <F8> now work from anywhere,
<F2>, <F3> and <F4> can be used for fast Pattern/Sample/Sequence access.
(that required a HUGE routines rewrite - please report any possible
new bugs, if any)
- File Manager. Now you can select a file from a directory list.
still, I should enhance it to work faster, but for now it's enough.
(btw: from the samples screen it's alt-d)
- Lots of bugs were fixed
.....Version 0.14ß.........................................[30/09/93]...
