Revision history
- - - - - - --------------------*-*-*-*-*-------------------- - - - - - -
- - - - - - --- version 1.40 ---*-*-*-*-*---- 20 Dec 1995 --- - - - - - -
* S3M and MTM support! AWEMP now plays MODs, MTMs and S3Ms
with up to 32 channels.
* Added following effects:
E8x - set pan position
Rxy - multi retrig note
Txy - tremor
Uxy - fine vibrato
X1x - extra fine portamento up
X2x - extra fine portamento down
* While in a DOS-shell you can now use the F11 and F12 keys
together with the SHIFT and CTRL keys. With these keys
you can pause/unpause playing, increase/decrease volume
and increase/decrease current song position.
* Fixed finetune bug in MOD and MTM samples.
* Default directory where AWEMP searches for modules can now
be defined in AWEMP.INI.
* Finally, I've got my own Internet address! See AWEMP.DOC
for new e-mail address.
- - - - - - --------------------*-*-*-*-*-------------------- - - - - - -
- - - - - - --- version 1.32 ---*-*-*-*-*---- 14 Oct 1995 --- - - - - - -
* AWEMP now has a config file; check out AWEMP.INI.
* Expanded memory (EMS) support! From now on you will
have more free conventional memory than ever!
* Fixed the missing-notes-after-looping bug.
* CTRL-C/CTRL-BREAK handler fixed to work correctly.
- - - - - - --------------------*-*-*-*-*-------------------- - - - - - -
- - - - - - --- version 1.31 ---*-*-*-*-*---- 10 Sep 1995 --- - - - - - -
* Added following effects:
4xy - vibrato
6xx - vibrato + volume slide
7xy - tremolo
E4x - set vibrato waveform
E7x - set tremolo waveform
* Fixed an irritating bug that sometimes caused a black
line being shown on top of the screen.
* Jump to previous module is now possible with 'B'.
* Files with errors now become blacklisted in the playlist,
this means that AWEMP just skips these modules when you
press 'N/B' for next/prev module. You can however load
such a module if you want just by selecting the module
with the selector bar and pressing Enter. Files with
errors are marked in the playlist with a grey color.
* Most wanted feature: commandline options for setting
reverb, chorus and main volume. Type AWEMP /? for usage.
- - - - - - --------------------*-*-*-*-*-------------------- - - - - - -
- - - - - - --- version 1.30 ---*-*-*-*-*---- 27 Aug 1995 --- - - - - - -
* AWEDIP completely removed, yes!!
* Size of play-list increased to 1024 entries.
* All warning messages can now be ignored with option '/I'
added to the commandline.
* Force upload is now a default setting, this makes option
'/F' redundant.
* Sample names with control codes no longer trash the screen.
* Removed *many* clicks.
- - - - - - --------------------*-*-*-*-*-------------------- - - - - - -
- - - - - - --- version 1.24 ---*-*-*-*-*---- 16 Aug 1995 --- - - - - - -
* Non-public release.
* Added sample offset (9xx) effect.
* Fixed small bug in note delay (EDx) effect.
* Options '/D', '/S' and '/V' temporarily disabled.
* Module loader completely rewritten.
* Play-routine partly rewritten.
- - - - - - --------------------*-*-*-*-*-------------------- - - - - - -
- - - - - - --- version 1.23 ---*-*-*-*-*---- 30 Jul 1995 --- - - - - - -
* Selectable reverb and chorus effects! Pressing 'E' will
pop up a window where you can choose between 16 different
effects.
* Double sampling RAM option. With '/D' added to the
commandline you can now load modules with sizes up to
512 kb if you have 512 kb on your AWE32, 4 Mb if you have
4 Mb on your AWE32, etc. Though, you will have some loss
of sample quality, especially with hi-hats and high
quality strings.
* Changed behaviour of random play-list selector a bit;
instead of taking a random module in the play-list, the
play-list itself is shuffled now.
* Enabled the '/V' option, it was just disabled in version
1.22 because of some changements in the calculation of
the volume table. Although I think that not many will
use this option.
* Force upload will now really load as many samples as
possible. Previous versions discarded the remaining
samples even if some of them did fit in the AWE32 RAM.
* Fixed bug in portamento up/down (1xx/2xx) effect.
* Fixed a rather stupid bug in note cut (ECx) effect.
- - - - - - --------------------*-*-*-*-*-------------------- - - - - - -
- - - - - - --- version 1.22 ---*-*-*-*-*----- 9 Jul 1995 --- - - - - - -
* Added following effects:
0xy - arpeggio
1xx - portamento up
2xx - portamento down
3xx - portamento to note
5xx - tone portamento + volume slide
E1x - fine portamento up
E2x - fine portamento down
* When returning from the DOS-shell some colors in the
screen did blink, but this bug occured on only a few
systems, though it should be fixed now.
* If you changed the current working directory within a
DOS-shell and you returned to AWEMP, the modules in
the play-list couldn't be found anymore. Fixed now.

- - - - - - --- version 1.21 ---*-*-*-*-*---- 29 Jun 1995 --- - - - - - -
* Added play list option. You can now for example type at
the DOS prompt: AWEMP *.MOD, AWEMP will then add all the
files matching *.MOD to a play list. While AWEMP is
playing press 'N' for next module or press 'L' to select
a module in the play list. You can also play the modules
in a random order, this can be done by adding the option
'/R' to the commandline.
Note that the play list can hold a maximum of 255 file-
names, so I would't advice you to type AWEMP *.MOD on
places where you will likely have more than 255 modules
(such as CD-ROMs).
* Added the ability to view the sample names. Pressing 'A'
while AWEMP is playing should do the trick.
* If AWEMP tries to load a corrupted module, AWEMP will
show a warning box which gives you the opportunity to
play the module or to discard it.
* Added support for 15-instruments MODs!

- - - - - - --- version 1.20 ---*-*-*-*-*----- 3 Jun 1995 --- - - - - - -
* AWEMP has a totally new cool look! Check out yourself!
Make sure you have a VGA adapter installed in your
system. :)
* Added following effects:
5xx - tone portamento + volume slide (*)
6xy - vibrato + volume slide (*)
EDx - note delay
Effects marked with an asterisk (*) are partly implemented,
i.e. only the volume slide works.
* Added adjustable reverb and chorus depths option.
* Added disable module looping commandline option.
* Fixed bug in set loop and jump to loop effects.
* Volume slider slided - again - too fast! Should be fixed
now finally.
* Removed 64k limit for samples. Samplesize is now limited
to RAM on AWE32. Note that MOD files support samplesizes
up to only 128k.
* Floating point instructions removed, these caused too many
errors on systems without a coprocessor. Couldn't test it
though, because I've got one (a 486DX you know).
* AWEMP searches now for the COMSPEC variable, so you can
shell to any commandline interpreter in any directory.
* Added wildcards support. Filename extensions are not needed
anymore.
* Removed some grammer errors in AWEMP.DOC and AWEMP.REV,
thanks to Gemini for fixing this.
- - - - - - --------------------*-*-*-*-*-------------------- - - - - - -
- - - - - - --- version 1.12 ---*-*-*-*-*---- 23 May 1995 --- - - - - - -
* Added shell to DOS option.
* Added adjustable main volume option.
* When exiting AWEMP, the system sometimes hangs, caused
by non-freed allocated memory blocks. Fixed now.
* On some BBSs the description of AWEMP was completely
ruined, because I didn't add spaces to fill the line to
the end. This is hopefully fixed now, because it isn't
quite readable that way. :)

- - - - - - --- version 1.11 ---*-*-*-*-*---- 22 May 1995 --- - - - - - -
* Optimized calculation of volume table, volumes should
now be set to the right values.
* Fixed bug in the commandline processor.
* Removed some grammar errors in the documentation.
- - - - - - --------------------*-*-*-*-*-------------------- - - - - - -
- - - - - - --- version 1.1 ----*-*-*-*-*---- 21 May 1995 --- - - - - - -
* Added following effects:
E5x - set loop
E6x - jump to loop
E9x - retrig note
ECx - note cut
EEx - pattern delay
* AWEMP now uses an alternate volume table to amplify
samples with low volumes a bit.
* Volume slider slided too fast, fixed now.
* Size of patterndata is no longer limited to 64k.
* Fixed small bug in modloader, caused some modules not
to be loaded, especially when using the /F option.
* AWEMP didn't work properly on a 286/386 without
coprocessor, thanks to KjB (or is it Gemini?) for
reporting this stupid bug.
* Changed name of AWE32MP to AWEMP.
