First of all the complete history of 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!
