- About the cracked version ...
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- In February 2000, just a few days before I released the V4.30beta on my
- homepage for testing, Rafal 'Manius' Mania from the 'cracking group' Royal
- spreaded a kind of cracked version of my Deli14Bit Genie. Is there anything
- more pathetic than cracking an uncrippled freeware program? Send him a
- comment at manius@iname.com.
-
- My first reaction of bitterness was to remove all versions from my homepage
- and Aminet. But in the end, it's not the normal users fault and there are
- always such immature bastards to destroy the work and motivation of the few
- developers left.
-
- So I have put it back again. All I ask for is a postcard. That's not too
- much in my opinion.
-
- And if you really don't want to send one, but want to get rid of the
- requester I've written a software called ERP (EasyRequestPatch) that can
- remove it for you (can be found on my homepage). Do NOT use cracked or
- illegal modified software. You always risk to get a trojan aswell.

- 14Bit NotePlayer Genie V4.30 (22-Feb-00)
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- This is a new and pretty enhanced version of the well known 14Bit
- NotePlayer that came with the original DeliTracker distribution. After
- Peter Kunath gave me the sourcecode, I was able to add various features
- (listed below).
-
- Please notice that you need at least an MC68020 to use them as the MC68000
- routines have been removed!
-
- Even if you don't use the new features, I recommend to use this version for
- it has a faster chipmem transfer routine than the one in V2.3.
-
- Plenty of cpu power is appreciated (although the Genie will not be any
- 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
-
-
- Short list of new features/improvements:
-
- - Font sensitive GUI with two different layouts.
- - AHI support! Deli14Bit can redirect its output to any AHI compatible
- sound card for TRUE 16 Bit output!
- - Direct Melody support using xaudio.device drivers.
- - Toccata support! Every sound card supplying an Toccata emulation can be
- used.
- - Panning support (e.g. for FastTracker modules).
- - Stereo width slider (so this incorporates the HeadPhones Genie).
- - Various Interpolation modes for high quality mixing (including a table-
- interpolation routine for MC68020/MC68030 machines).
- - Two Oversampling modes.
- - DSP Routines: Echo (Reverb), Hall (Reverb with feedback) and Reverser
- (each one is available as Mono, Cross or Center mode).
- - All mixing routines have conditional code for quiet mixing, the panning
- ones also use optimized routines for mono and 100% left/right code.
- - 3D Panning mode - ideal for headphones or CD recording.
- - Inverted Stereo Mode for fake surround effect.
- - Anti-Click Mode (removes annoying sample-triggering clicks).
- - Treble and Bass filters with adjustable pass frequencies.
- - Seperate Treble and Bass filters for the DSP.
- - Frequency pitch can be shifted (half frequency up to double frequency).
- - Complex ModSave function (16 Bit AIFF or RAW file):
- - Start of saving can be triggered, slience at the end can be cut off.
- - Resulting wave can be normalized to full volume.
- - Half/Quarter DMA mode records at half/quarter speed for slow machines
- or people with PAL 28KHz limit.
- - Stop-Motion and Mute modes for slow drives/machines.
- - Peak and Optimal Boost display.
- - Actual (DMA) mixing frequency is now displayed.
- - Uses a 256 samples buffer instead of 200, which speeds things up.
- - Complex Prefs management:
- - Settings can be saved individually for each module (either in a
- separate directory or along with the module).
- - Default settings can also be saved for:
- - whole directories
- - module types
- - amount of channels
- - module type+amount of channels.
- - 4 DSP presets can be stored for quick access using the GUI.
- - Default AutoBoost factor can be altered.
- - Now uses a faster longword pipelined chipmem transfer.

- History
- ~~~~~~~
- V4.30 (22-Feb-00): (39864 Bytes)
- - Fifth Aminet release. Last one for some time.
- - No more a 1024 samples version.
- - AHI: Fixed a bug introduced with V4.20 in the AHI mode: DSP was running
- on the wrong buffer (DSP output was twice on the left channel).
- - AHI: Frequency Override did not work in AHI mode.
- - NEW MENU LAYOUT! The Settings menu has been split into several top-
- level menus. AHI-Gadgets have been removed and the functionality has
- been placed into the "Output" menu.
- - ADDED SUPPORT FOR MELODY AUDIO CARD. A lot of internal changes were
- required to allow direct xaudio support. Drawback: Mixing is done in
- a Task with priority 22, but there are still some drop outs. Pros: now
- you can measure the cpu time used for playback.
- - ADDED SUPPORT FOR TOCCATA AUDIO CARD. Now you can finally use most
- audio cards with Toccata emulation directly without having to suffer
- from those irritating AHI bugs and flaws.
- - Added a new table for CPU time consumption.
- - Various internal changes.
-
- V4.21 (20-Dec-99): (36696 Bytes)
- - Internal quick bugfixed version.
- - Cross Echo had only half the volume from versions V4.00beta to V4.20.
- Dunno how this addq.w #1,d2 glitched in there. Bug is fixed (thanks to
- Roderick Mouthaan for reporting).
- - Width of the "Toggle Channels:" Text field wasn't corrected by the font
- sensitive GUI routine, therefore it could happen that the Toggle Left
- checkbutton was not selectable anymore. Fixed it (thanks to Alexander
- Kostick for bug reporting).
- - Bug in the Installer script only occuring with the OS3.5 Installer has
- been fixed.
