T H X The Highest eXperience Sound System v2.3d-sp1 --- History --- v0.9ß, 27.12.1995 (The Party 1995 Release): first public version v0.905ß, 03.01.1996: little bugfixed version, now stopping song when loading a new one. instrumentnames will now be loaded correctly. When deleting song, song- and instrumentnames weren't deleted. Fixed. Enhanced help-file. replaced dexter's e-mail address. v0.96, 26.04.1996 (Saturne Party 1996 Release): Stoping song when clearing current module. You may now use command 3, which is TONE-PORTAMENTO (3xx like in ProTracker), fixed that problem! Now using "THX.'Songname'" and "INS.'Instrumentname'" as filename when saving. Now 2 seperate Song and Instrument filerequesters. Added track-command 5 (keep TonePortamento and VolumeSlide, like in PT!) Added fastscrolling to helpfile (function worked in former versions!). Added POSITIONJUMP (Bxx like in ProTracker), but position-parameter IS TO enter decimal! read the manual for further help! Added OverrideSquareRelation (call it as you want) command 9xx in the trackeditor (in pt this is sampleoffset).. see doc for further help. Added the C50-C90 command for the tracks, which is to set the TrackMasterVolumes of ALL the 4 voices! Added the 8xx command for the tracks, which is to use for external timing! Fixed Note-Dragging in PerformanceList (did only work with instr. 1) Now you can mark/copy/paste/insert positions in pos-ed! use ctrl-b/c/v/i Added the EDx command (NoteDelay) and the ECx command (NoteCut). for further help read the pt-docs or the thx-help file... Fixed the loadsong-bug (when loading sometimes crashd) and the savesong-bug (saving an empty song it saved 65535 tracks. hd full? <hi moone!> fixed!) Added Subsongs now finally --> thx-help file!! Included Replayer-code (to use with "IncBIN"; 100% pc-relative) for your own productions (contact me in case of ANY problem!). Also included a very nice DeliPlayer for THX-modules.. yeeeahhh!! (you can also use it with tha delitracker-clone Eagle-Player (sorry guys, butt that's the truth!) Activated the Load-buttons in both main-screen and instr.ed. Enhanced the Tab key, so you can now use it with Control (doc!)... For further help to the replayer-code contact me. v1.0, 12.7.1996 (The Summer Party 1996 Release)-<released August 1st>: Fixed replay code so that you can now actually - play notes as low as you want without getting problems with playing another instrument afterwards! (was an audiohardware problem, now i'm using a $280 byte large (small!) samplebuffer for every voice so i won't have any problems with playing new instruments as i'm just copying the new waveform into the buffer) - problem also occured in the older version of Iridon by Pink/Abyss! - NOW FIKKZ'D - play tunes directly after turning on your amiga's power (didn't run in the older versions, but now it does, so you can use the replayer for demos/intros now!) - check replayer's time! doesn't need min. 12 frames now anymore, but needs to copy max. $280*4 bytes/frame from fast->chip !! Added the About-menu point (on request). Added playing time-display (when playing only). Now Left-Amiga Q/C/L/S/A works (only L and S worked in previous thx versions). Added Record mode finally (R-Shift like PT ofcourse) Fixed Volume Command (Cxx), which ignored values over CCF (in track/ins!) Now the Test Mode (Caps Lock) doesn't affect the Pattern Editing anymore. You can actually run thx while playsid's running, so converting tunes is a lot more easy now!! ++ Finally Portamento (3xx command) workz fine, so go'n SLIDE TO HELL NOW! v1.10, 01.10.1996 (Oktoberfest '96-Release)-<release delayed to Halloween) Now THX Sound System workz fine on every monitor-type as I'm now finally using a CIA-Music-Interrupt instead of that Vertical-Blank-Interrupt. BIG THanX must go to K-P Koljonen, the genius!! coder of HippoPlayer (k-p@kalahari.ton.tut.fi) who sent me the cia source (which had 1 bug)... The keyboard-bug (the qualifiers lamiga/lalt etc. stuck and so by pressing only q thx quit!) is now "fixed". the bug appeared e.g. if you swicthed the thx screen to back using l-amiga m (thx got a lamiga down) and switched it to front again using the depth-gadget (with mouse) so thx still thought the l-amiga key was pressed!! if there should still be any problems, write me pleeze! Now you can save more than 127 tracks (up to all 256 as it should be :-) v1.27, 27.12.1996 (The Party 1996 Release - yeaaah! one year after !): now finally challenged lazyness and managed to implement: ctrl-b/c/v/i (mark/copy/paste/insert) - Track Editor (PosEd already worked) ctrl-k (kill to end of track) - Track Editor Ins'ing/Dragging Positions now available (sorry stargazer-now it's there) fixed that pList trashing when hacking the wrong key in fx1/fx2 Now 100% compatible with vbrun300.dll emulation (whoo-haa! :-) NOW THERE IS ALSO A 68000 VERSION OF THE REPLAY CODE (DIRECTLY FROM *ME!*) Forgot in v1.10 to mention (in history file) that ctrl-bcvi in posed already existed some time ago before 1.10! Shift-F3/F4/F5 Cut/Copy/Paste Track (same as in pt :-) + Cntrl-F3/F4/F5 Cut/Copy/Paste Track-Commands now implemented! (using two different buffers for track and track-commands!!) Alt-F4/F5 Copy/Paste Instrument also worked before v1.10 but wasn't mentioned, sorry again for that fellows... Now CTRL can be used in combination with Backspace/Enter likely to Shift to Drag up/Insert Effects (not Notes+Effect only Effects;track ed+instr.ed) Now you can Inc/Dec current position in posed with CTRL-Up/Down in tracked! Implemented Swap Voices (same as in pt, CTRL-T) EditSkip for Tracks/PerformanceList included (seperate editskips, ctrl/0-9) Fixed the bug when loading a tune containing 0 subsongs the subsongtable wasn't reset. Implemented the 3 keys right of ..7890 (depends on your keyboard!), which will (in combination with left-alt only when cursor's at the note-field) copy down and decrease/copy down and increase/copy down the effect from one step above (once again 100% pt-compatible!!) EC/ED and PositionJump Commands should be fixed now (PosJump sucked in DeliTracker and EC/ED in THX itself! -NEW DELIPLAYER + NEW BINARYPLAYER!) v2.00, 10.08.1997 (The Assembly '97-Release): now you can slide (square and filters) beginning out of the specified range (e.g. you won't have to set the filter (standard=32) and can specify a range between 48 and 63---thx will slide from 32 up to 63, then down to 48, again up to 63, down to 48 and so on. Same goes for square (but you have to set the beginning value, which means that c-1 3 320 400 with lowerlimit set to e.g. 48 and upper limit set to e.g. 63 will work now!!!) YEP!!! you read right!!! i mentioned .f.i.l.t.e.r.s. .!.!. *large grin* refer to doc for more about this fab thing!! and DO NOT FORGET to precalc them ONCE using the menu topic in the Project menu !!! If you tried to load a non-thx tune, the file hasn't been closed (well I called _LVOClose(a6) but from the requster a6 was IntBase :-) VUMeters, Preferences, CPUUsage display, double-/triple-/quadruple-speed cia-player (use sparingly, will eat much rastertime!-field left to voice0's track-nr.)! cmd $d patternbreak will now allow a parameter (refer inbuilt-help) YEP!!! you read right!!! i mentioned .h.e.l.p. .!.!. *large grin again* press HELP to get the inbuilt-help and SHIFT-help to get open the AmigaGuide Help on WB. added hardcut finally! refer doc... fixed that "period wraps around" problem.. if you played an C-5 instrument with C-2 in the tracks, that makes C-6 at all, and in different thx releases this sounded different (also in the deli/binary-player what people wrote me!). Now the note gets cut to B-5 always!! Note to cut the notes to B-5 was my fault (i only cutted the final audioperiods to C-1 -> B-5) BUT TO TRY TO PLAY AN C-6 WAS YOURS!! Note: Do not try to play A#5 or B-5, as amiga-audio hardware won't do it correctly (freq gets too high!) so do not play filtered noises anymore with a#5 (use a-5, please!) Built in Allocate Audiochannels at startup/Explicit vbl-startup (prefs) v2.1, 20.10.1997 (The 1st Zivildienst '97/'98 & Oktoberfest'97-Release): ProTracker Import built in (just "Load Module") Replayer is now 68000er FIXED!!! (yes, MULS.L/DIVS.L CAN be done on 68000 as people told me, so i finally fixed it :-) THX-DeliPlayerII doesn't precalc the filterwaves anymore when playing an THXv1.x tune. Implemented Patternjump-Forward/-Backwards in replayer (so THX-DeliPlayerII is now able to jump forwards/backwards!) Fixed Alt/Shift/Ctrl-F3/F4/F5 for Instruments (Cut/Copy/Paste): Refer to the .guide help file (now you can seperately cut/copy/paste the instrument w/o pList or just the pList... .guide!!! Fixed HardCut in Deliplayer (gave an enforcer hit!-reported by Buggs of the EaglePlayer developer team) Binary-Player didn't switch back to single-speed after 2/3/4x speed thx was played. Couldn't correctly InitModule twice the same module, as the THX\1 id was overwritten... pc conversion coming soon!!!! yezzzz, heard right... but THX still mainly is AMIGA, WHAT DID U THINK .. eheheh pc suckz boys.:!:. fixed a bug in "Save THX-Module" (Track 000 empty recognition checked 1 step too much e.g. 65 notes instead of 64 notes for track 000!) Now switching off rastertime-display when THX screen is in back (THanX to Juice/Phase^D for giving me the information on how to do that). No more querying bit 6 of $bfe001 in the about window (on request). Built in "Optimize..." for optimizing (mainly pt-imported songs). Check it out, nuttin' to write about, it'll kick out double tracks and then kick out tracks that aren't used. v2.1n, 29.11.1997 (DeliPlayer Update): The Deliplayer is now noteplayered, which means you can now enojy the wonderfull (mono-, quadra-)scopes or whatever genies and it can be played on soundcards! Fixed some (minor) bugs in the replayer and optimized it a bit, also added returning of subsongs in thxInitModule and added playing-time support! Also some other technical-player-stuff has changed! SO USE THESE BINARIES! For news on the replayer read the THX-Replayer.doc CAREFULLY! Added the Bang routine, which is simple to play some instrument on any voice for fx in your productions (shoot-fxs, whatever)... v2.3d, 10.04.1998 (Mekka & Symposium Release): The so far last version of this great production... now we take on the pc- replayer! ... BUT still you may contact us for any reason (ideas, bugs, etc.) WE DO NOT SAY THAT >>THX<< IS DEAD!! NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!! added the E1x/E2x & EAx/EBx cmd. (fine volume/period slide up/down)... use the online help for more information. Also been adding the E4x cmd. on request (set vibrato depth value (override pList's vibratoDepth). Added Pink's external Prefs program (which will be executed if the internal one does NOT work (for whatever gadtoolsbox's reasons is). Added the long-awaited SCREEN-MODE-REQUESTER .. REALLY!!! Big THanX to Rawstyle/Lego my old buddy for giving me the source part, as I'm so outta time that I couldn't even code this one by myself :) (screenmode-changes will only be visible next time you execute THX (so quit and reload THX!) Added the fabulous cursor movements (c-64 style ruuuuulez)! New colors by Pink added! If you want your very special version, just grab a screenshot, change the colors, email me the IFF and I'll do your very own special version!!! Still want anything more?
