So I have a little request! I don't want to earn any money with my Player, because I have written it for fun and for my own use, but please LET ME KNOW, IF YOU FIND SOME BUGS! If you really want to send me some money, then do it! I'll take it, and it makes no difference how much! Maybe I'm the first Freeware-Coder, who earns millions with his program. So help me being the first one and send only sums bejond one million US-Dollar!! If you have troubles with a module please send me a disk with it! You'll get it back with a new version of STP!! After I've got my A2000 with A2630, Kick 2.0 and ECS, I've tried to fix the problems with Cache, Kick 2.0, Workbench 2.1 and all the other troubles with this fucking fast machine!! Many other Players have troubles with turboboards as fast as the G-Force030 50/50 (Protracker 2.2-3.0 too!!), STP not!! On 68040 I give no garanties, cause I couldn't test it. Please help me if you are a 68040 guru with some 'how to code'-tips. Version 1.1 is the first released Version. V1.0 was spread internal only!! But who knows?! Perhaps you have a copy of 1.0!?! 1.2 Testconfigurations ====================== Tests are made on following systems: AMIGA Kick GFX Chip Other ---------------------------------------------------------------------- A2000C 3/2/1.3 ECS 1Mb A2630 25/50/4Mb; GVP Serie II/2Mb (Wolfi) A2000C 2.0 ECS 1Mb GVP Serie II'030 28/33/4Mb; Nexus 4Mb (Reini) A2000C 2.0 ECS 1Mb GVP GForce'030 50/50/8Mb - A2320 (Michl) A2000C 2.0 ECS 1Mb GVP GForce'030 50/50/4Mb (Peter) A4000 3.0 AGA 2Mb 8Mb (Alex ) A1200 3.0 AGA 2Mb (Erwin) A500+ 2.0 ECS 1Mb Multievolution/2Mb (Elchi) A500 2.0 ECS 1Mb 1.5Mb Rangermem (Michi) ZX81 0.1 ORG 16Kb Datasette (tests are not succesfull, sorry:-> 1.3 Limits ========== What I'll never do: ------------------- I'll never build in other playroutines then the one of Soundtracker (and Clones), because there are so many good modules for ST (I've 140; 14 Mb) and there are enough other players playing all formats. 1.4 Requirements ================ Needed Hardware: ---------------- Any Amiga, at least Kick 1.2 and a very good stereo amplifier!!!! (And good speakers, too:-))) Needed Software: ---------------- Many Soundtracker-modules!! If you use MachIII please read the tactical hints using STP!!! 1.5 Features ============ D.E.R. ST-Player is a Soundtracker-Moduleplayer with some special features! - CD-Player GUI - 'Fire and Forget'-System (you will see what I mean) - fantastic Channel-Analyser! - 100% assembler - STP makes an own Process!!! - STP is full multitasking-compatible (except allocation of audio-cannels!) - STP works with 1(and more)MByte chipmem! (Ok, that's a feature of Kick1.3!) - STP should work on 680x0 processor cards!! - plays Soundtracker V2.0-V2.6, Noisetracker V1.0-V2.0 and Protracker -V2.3 Modules - If the screen is in background Player needs no CPU-Time!(Except Playroutine!!) - full filtercontrol - Position- and Notecontrol - Volumecontrol - NonStop loading - programmable - also handles PP20- and FileImploder-files!! since V1.22 also XPK-files - Start from CLI and Workbench possible!! - (FOR EXPERIENCED USERS ONLY!!: Player is able to run objectmodules) 2.1 Defaultvalues ================= Start STP with or without options. If no arguments are given, STP has following defaults: - STP searches the file ENV:PlayerDir. There you can save the directory where the modules are stored. If the file doesn't exist -> - default directory is 'ST-00:modules' - STP takes as much memory as he needs or he can catch. - the songs are played alphabetically (A-Z) (German chars are sorted correct!) - STP dosen't looks for 'mod.'-files only - STP loads the next song when the current one is finished - The 'B'-Cmd(Position-Jmp) of ST is enabled - Auto-Fade is off - Analysermode is set to high frequencies - Timemode is set to normal positionview - Clones Workbench (also Lace or Nonlace) - allocates Channels with a Precedence of -50 2.2 CLI-Start ============= STP [DIR-Name | Module-Name] [-m][-sxxx][-r][-n][-j][-a][-f][-d][-tx] [-lx][-pxxx] [?] Options: ? -> Shows helpscreen!! -m -> Player takes only files beginning with 'mod.' (not case-sensitive!!!) -sxxx -> Player uses only that amount of chipmem you have selected. ('xxx' means the amount in KByte!!!! (xxx*1024=amount in Bytes! I'm living in europe and here we're calculating with 1024 not 1000)) Songs longer than 'xxx'-KByte won't be loaded. -r -> Player will randomize the sequence. -j -> disables the Position-Jump command from ST. (Very nice option for songs with a endless loop) -n -> Player tries to load the next song if the current has 3 patterns left to play. It only works if you have enough Fast-Mem!! -d -> Switches the Mode-Button to On-position since V1.1: -f -> Switches Auto-Fade On since V1.3: -tx -> TimeMode; x=0 normal x=1 remaining Patterns x=2 Time since V1.4: -lx -> LaceMode; 0=nonlace; 1=lace; 2=WBClone; STP always try to clone the full screenmode from WB (on AGA he also uses Productivity etc.). Only nonlace or lace is in your hands. -pxxx -> Precedence of STP audiochannel-allocation. (-128 to 127); If you set it to 127 nobody will steal the audiochannels. Only bad coded programs (like STP befor V1.4:-D You can start Player also with a filename. Then Player switches 'Repeat' on and disables the 'Prev' and 'Next'-gadgets!!! 2.3 Workbenchstart ================== You can define a tooltype called 'SONGDIR'. STP loads all songs in this directory!!! 1. Click the STP-Icon once 2. Select 'Info' (or Information in Kick2.0) in the Workbench-Menu 3. Click on 'ADD' (or New) in the 'TOOL TYPES'-Bar 4. Type 'SONGDIR=' and the full directory-name you want. e.g.:'dh1:modules' 'modules' only is not enough!!!! (The tooltype itself is casesensitve! Please type them all in upper case! 5. Now click on 'save' 6. doubleclick the STP-Icon and enjoy the music!!! If you didn't spezify a SONGDIR-Tooltype, Player searches also for the 'ENV:PlayerDir'-File. If available he uses it automatically! I've included some other Tooltypes, too!! Defaults in (). TOOLTYPE CLI-Option ----------------------------------- RANDOM -> ON/(OFF); -r e.g.:'RANDOM=ON'; ANALYZER -> (ON)/OFF; -a NONSTOP -> ON/(OFF); -n NOPOSJMP -> ON/(OFF); -j MODONLY -> ON/(OFF); -m AMODE -> ON/(OFF); -d (up to Version V1.24->MODE) MAXCHIP : -s sets maximum usage of CHIP-RAM!! e.g.:'MAXCHIP=200' -> use 200K maximum since V1.1: AUTOFADE -> ON/(OFF); -a since V1.3: TIMEMODE -> (0)/1/2; -t since V1.4: LACE -> ON/OFF/(CLONE) -l AUDPRI -> xxx -p 2.4 Fire and Forget =================== If STP is configured with a correct path, he will start playing at once. 3.1 While STP is running ======================== If no ENV-File and no Dir-name was given, you first must turn the STP on!! Then STP asks you for a directory-path and reads this directory. Since V1.1 I use the ASL-Request (Kick 2.0 only) Now STP loads the first module. (Display shows 'loading Song...') Then STP starts playing....... 3.2 Volume-control ================== With the proportinal gadget you can control the volume. 3.3 Filter-control ================== These are the two switches on the right side from the Volume-control. On Auto <- Function if Switch is pressed Switch -> ++ || ++ <- Switch Off Manual <- Function if Switch is released ^ Lamp In the 'Manual'-position (default) the 'E'-command from Soundtracker is ignored (but internal stored!!) and the Filter is set by the on/off-switch. If switched to 'Auto' the filter is set as given from the last ST-command. The other switch is now disabled and the filtercontrol is given back to the playroutine!! 3.4 Position- and Note-control ============================== Below the display you can notice two pairs of gadgets. ( < > ) The left pair controls the position and the right pair controls the note. The position-gadgets have a little delay!! Try it and you will know how to use them. 3.5 Songcontrol =============== On the right side of the Player are four gadgets. |<,>| : Load next,previous song in sequence. Stop : Will stop playing. Now you can try to open the Player. Play : Play/Pause toggle! Below the display you notice two other switches: RepS : Repeat the song. As long as Repeat is highlighted in the display Player repeats the song. Select : Klick on it. Now you can see a '>' in front of the current song. Use the |< and >| gadgets to select a song. Since V1.1 this buttons are repeated in this case! If you have found the right name press the play-gadget and Player reads the song at once. 3.6 Sequence-control ==================== STP is full programmable. Press the "Prog"-gadget You are now in the Program-Mode. (shown in the display!!) Choose a song with the |< and >| gadgets. Now you have the following possibilities: 'Prog' : Toggles between programmed and cleared-status. stored in the sequence -> you see 'xx P'<- Nr. in the sequence cleared -> ' C' 'Select': Select all songs 'Random': randomize the current sequence 'Stop' : Clear the program and cancel the Program-Mode 'Play' : Start playing with the first song in sequence How to clear a program: ----------------------- Press the Stop-Button twice 3.7 Random (V1.1) ================= Random is now available in normal play-mode. Simply press the RANDOM-Button and a program will be initialised! 3.8 Auto-Fade (V1.1) ==================== This means, player fades the volume on the last Pattern to zero. This is usefull, if an endless song is played! 3.9 Time (V1.3) =============== You can toggle between three modes 1.) Normal mode 2.) Remaining patterns and notes (Thanks to Andreas Kirchwitz from Berlin) 3.) Time mode. 3.10 Scan (V1.4) ================ If scan is enabled, 'Scan' apears in the display and STP will load the next song after 10 seconds. 3.11 Info (V1.41) ================ If you press the button, STP displays the stored info again. If no info is stored, you will see all samplenames. 3.12 The Analyser ================= There are four buttons!! ++ <- Mode ++ <- Analyser On/Off ++ <- VU-Meter On/Off ++++ <- Power-Switch Mode: I calculate which part of a sample is played each vertical blank. Each of the 4 windows shows 40 values of the actual part. The parts are often larger then 40 bytes and so i've found two ways to show them Released Button: I show the first 40 bytes of the actual part then i add the length of the remaining part. (Good to display high frequencies!) Pressed Button: I calculate the length of the part diveded by 40. Now I show the first byte then a add the result of the upper expression. Then i show the next byte and so on... (Good to display low frequencies) 3.13 Change of Directory ======================== Press Stop and then Open (on the disc-drawer) Now Player asks again which directory you want!! Yes, you are right! A CD-Player usually opens without pressing STOP, but it's a security system! V1.1: If your machine works under Kickstart 2.0, you can make this with the ASL-Requester! 4.1 Tactical Hints ================== Player checks each file if it's a ST-Module. It's possible (0.0001%) that the check-routine failes and he tries to play a file which is not a ST-Module! Please remove this file from your directory for safe usage!! Using powerpacked Files requires the PowerPacker.library in libs: !!! For XPK you need the xpkmaster.library and at least one sublibrary If you have only 512KB ChipMem use the -s option (MAXCHIP) to leave free Mem! e.g.: -s200 (I've always used this one, but now I've 1MB-Chip!!) STP always allocates the size of the largest modules, because there are many troubles always freeing a block and allocating the next one. Memory get's more and more fragmented, until STP is not longer able to allocate the songmem!! I think this solution is better for longtime- usage and always remember Amigas with fewer then 1MB-Chipmem are ... (Try Intuitracker, he uses the other way. After about 10 Songs it's over!!) If you are running MACHIII V3.0 get a version V3.1 or higher, cause of a major bug in V3.0. Every time you will run Player while MACHIII is running, your machine will stop every activity without a guru!! First I've thought that it was my fault, but after it works with V3.1 ... STP needs much time in his VB-interuptroutine. It's possible that you get in trouble running other programms using VB-Int's too. (I haven't recognized any problems of this nature, but it's possible!!). 4.2 Tips for XPK ================ Since V1.4 you can use multiple packed XPK-Files! So you can use the DLTA and NUKE on one file. If the file gets larger again after the second cruncher it is possible that STP has not enough memory left! This function was ment for use with an encrypter (DLTA) and one cruncher (NUKE or so), only. Don't forget the force option using XPack. 4.3 Info for musicians ====================== I have included the information-system from IntuiTracker!! You can use the samplenames for messages. Each message (samplename) starting with '#' is displayed. Player stops at the first samplename which begins not with '#'!! V1.41: Now every sample with '#' is displayed, independend if there is one without '#' 4.4 How to start object-modules =============================== AND NOW SOME HINTS FOR VERY EXPERIENCED USERS ONLY! --------------------------------------------------- STP is able to run objectmodules! But take care, it's up to the module to work with STP!!! You ask why? There are many other good soundprograms available on AMIGA (for example SoundFX,TFMX..). If you got an executeable file which playes the song rename it into 'run.???????'. When STP recognizes such a file he tries to load it with 'loadseg()' and jumps directly into it's code!! Now it's your problem how you stop playing and return to STP! There is another problem with this feature! I have to give back all my memory starting the Obj-Mod. And after all I must get it back!! Do you know what I mean?!?! No! It's quiet simple!! It's possible that there isn't enough memory left after this action! STP will then quit playing!!! That's why I'm always allocating the length of the largest Module!!!! Because that's the only way to be sure not running out of memory! So please hold your memoryconsumtion low (use -s option. Usually I use -s200!!) I have found a new problem since STP makes an own precess!!! Some playroutines test if the process is started from CLI. If not they wait for a WB-Message!!! It's on you to remove this part of the code!! A little hint: look out for a FindTask(0L) (sub.l a1,a1; jsr -294(a6)) then look if the programm tests 172(a?) of the process-structure. Remove exactly this test! But be careful. The code must always go the way it goes started from CLI! But after all that troubleshooting I have to say you: I did it!!! 5.1 Warranty ============ D.E.R.

Come to: D.E.R. Computer-Club Stiegerg. 5/1 1150 Vienna Austria Monday and Tuesday, 17-20 PM 5.7 History =========== 5.7.1 About STP 5.7.2 Versions 5.7.1 About STP =============== The first step was a CLI-Utility called PlayV2. This one has done nothing else except playing one ST-V2.0-Module until you press the left mousebutton. Christmas 1989 I've got my first harddrive for my A500 with Kick 1.2. In January I bought Kick 1.3. Then it was perfect: A OMTI-5520-MFM-Controller with A.L.F.-Software and a CDC 40MB harddisk with reboot under 1.3. In April 1990 I had born the idea to make a tool which reads a whole directory of ST-Modules and plays one after the other. I program called Player was born. But this was not enough. Some control is very usefull, and so I've implemented many functions. It was a really small window, I think 160x30 pixels, and there were nearly the same control-features as in the STP from today. Note- and Positioncontrol, Volume, programable, select, pause and filtercontrol. After half a year of speartimecoding it was a really nice tool. But then comes the time of all new trackers like Noisetracker, Startekker, Soundtracker2.6, Protracker and so on. But I've made it, I've already made one Playroutine for all of them. Everything STP is able to play is played from one play- routine. It was hard but I've really made it. I think it was in November 1990. My dear friend Erwin Kloibhofer (Coder of the great Jump-and-Run Game 'Lionheart' of Thalion Software) said to me that the Player is a very nice tool, but a novice-user doesn't know what a program is worth without a fantastic userinterface and Player looks like a Hacker/Cracker-Tool. So I've drawed a CD-Player and after only one week the code was changed for the new look of player (I think that's not my owing, it's Commodores. The OS is fantastic for things like that). All my friends were surprised. All of them were using CDP (I've called the new Program CDP) for a long time. In Spring 1991 was the time of all these fucking great demos with analyzers. So I've tried to make a fast routine for use in multitasking. Again I've drawed a new CD-Player with this wonderfull analyzer (Thanks to Elchi for the nice feet). Again some new features, perfect. In Summer 1991 I've got Kick 2.0. Hoppla, there was something wrong. CDP doesn't work from Workbench only from CLI. Bugfixes without end. Since Oktober 1991 I'm a member of the D.E.R.Computerclub in Vienna. What? The name?! What's wrong?!? Ahhh!! Yes. D.E.R.ST-Player. Correct. It's my publicity campaign for the club. The year 1992 was filled up with some new features like tooltypes, autofade, more Kick2.0 features like ASL-Request ......... and bugfixes. And in Summer I've got my new A2000 with A2630 25/50MHz 4MB and GVP Serie II Controller with a Maxtor 120MB HD and 2MB 16Bit-Ram. But STP runs without any bugs. And now we have the year 1993! 5.7.2 Versions ============== ;* $Revision Header built automatically *************** (do not edit) ************ ;* ;* © Copyright by M.A.S.H (Modern Art Soft Hietzing) ;* ;* File : ACDP.s ;* Created in : December 1990 ;* Created by : Wolfgang BREYHA ;* Current revision : V1.41 ;* ;* ;* Purpose ;* ------- ;* D.E.R.

All further versions will only work on Kick2.0 or higher. (Kick 1.3 was very good but 2.0 is much better. If you already using 1.3, forget it; Get the new one:-)))) 2. The first step for 2.0 is a Preferences-program. 3. If there is enough response I'll make some new features for the 'Scan'-function.
