Galaxy Music Player 32 v0.00ß
Written by Virt of T∙R∙I∙A∙L
Featuring the LightSpeed I Mixer (tm)
Introduction :
--------------
So there is GLX but unfortunately you'll need your (favorite) Expanded Memory
Mananger (EMM) for playing really EXCESSIVE pieces of music, I'm now talking
about 2 Mb files. So the idea was born to build a 32 Bit protected mode version
of GLX. Ofcourse I didn't like the idea of using other people's protected mode
interfaces, so I had to build one myself.
Actually I'm very glad I did it, because I learnt a LOT about the 80386's
protected mode, I love the 32 bit flat memory model, never to use those
SEGMENT overrides again. Oh, yes, before I forget since GLX32 uses the 80386's
32 Bit protected mode, GLX32 will not run on a 80286 in it's 16 Bit p-mode.
So this is basically a test release, a 0.00ß, because our new DOS-Extender
has to be thouroughly tested, so please try everything and if you encounter
ANY bugs report them, so that they can be fixed in future releases !
Hmm, the good about all this that samples of about 4 Gb are allowed, sorry
for the GUSers owning a GUS with only 1 Mb of onboard DRAM, it's time to buy
that GUS memory expansion kit you saw last week right now...
Using the program :
-------------------
GLX32 is quite easy to use, you won't be bothered by keying IRQ's, DMA Channels
Parallelport-addresses etc. The only things GLX likes to know (not needed)
are : Output device, Replay rate (higher is better) & Name of the module...
Command Line : GLX /oXX /mYY MODULE.EXT
/oXX -> Selects output device (autodetected, listed in order of detection)
GS : Gravis UltraSound, autodetect memory installed.
PS : ProAudio Spectrum
SB : SoundBlaster (Pro) 1.0 - 2.0
AG : AdLib Gold 1000/2000
AB : AdLib/SoundBlaster FM Chip
SO : Stereo-On-1
SK : PC-Speaker
C? : Covox/DAC at printer-port ?
/mYY -> Selects mixing speed in Khz (default is 22 Khz)
GUS : 44.1 Khz Stereo Only !!!
PAS : 1..44 Khz Stereo Only !!!
SB 1.0/1.5 : 1..22 Khz
SB 2.0 : 1..44 Khz
SB Pro : 1..22 Khz Stereo Only !!!
AdLib Gold : 7.35, 11.025, 22.05, 44.1 KHz Stereo Only !!!
AdLib FM : 1..44 Khz
Stereo-On-1 : 1..64 Khz
PC-Speaker : 1..44 Khz
Covox/DAC : 1..64 Khz
MODULE.EXT -> Module name, default extension ".MOD".
But GLX32 will also load .XM, .S3M, .STM, .669 & .FAR files.
Keys while playing :
--------------------
<Esc> : Quits the program.
<S> : Shells to DOS.
<A..Z> : Change position/mode of voice/channels.
<CursL>: Previous order, rewind.
<CursR>: Next order, fastforward.
<CursU>: Increase Main Volume/Louder.
<CursD>: Decrease Main Volume/Softer.
<Space>: Pops up the Fileselector.
<Enter>: Pops up the Sampleviewer.
<Home> : Jump to first order/start of song.
<End> : Jump to last order/end of song.

About the program :
-------------------
GLX32 was coded by Virt of T∙R∙I∙A∙L using the following "tools" :
- A Computer (a 386DX-40 with Covox DAC/SoundBlaster 2.0/GUS/PAS)
- An Editor, I use(d) QEdit v3.00 advanced
- An Assembler, I use(d) TASM 3.2
- A Linker, I use(d) TLINK 4.0
(Thanks goes to Borland International for the above tools)
- Friends who gave up a lot of their spare time to discuss
the results of the changes made.
- TiDE v1.0α, T∙R∙I∙A∙L Integrated 386 DOS-Extender by Virt.
- Beta-testers : Teake Bruinsma, Marten van Dijk, Michiel Ouwehand and
(Alfa order:-) Martijn Wilhelm.
GLX32 is written in 80386 assembler, this all because of the 32 bit FLAT
protected mode that the 80386 has to offer...
Furthermore Virt and/or T∙R∙I∙A∙L cannot be held responsible for ANY
personal and/or material damage/losses caused by the (improper) use of GLX...
