-
- History:
- -------
-
- - V1.0 (Jun-96)
- ·Initial public release.
-
- - V1.1 (Jun-96)
- ·VOLTYPE tooltype added to correct problems with some exotic CD drives.
- ·Added 600(!) CD descriptions.
- ·German catalog added.
-
- - V1.2 (Jul-96)
- ·Icons was in Newicon style, now they are real icons
- ·Rewritten some functions in assembler
- ·Reduced code size significantly
- ·Added MUI Gadget disappearing feature: when the window is too small, some
- gadgets start to disappear according to their importance
- ·Added possibility to choose the sample file by requester
- ·Added preview button in sampler window, it plays CD according sliders of the
- sampler window
- ·Rewritten randomize function (more randomized)
- ·Editor,Program, & sampler pages are allocated only when needed. Replacing
- Register style with a Cycle was necessary for this feature.
- ·Fixed stupid bug with 'at start' prog: first title was played twice
-
- - V1.3 (Jul-96)
- ·Now there is 1368 CD descriptions
- ·Added ASYNCBUFFER to suppress glitches when sampling
- ·Removed some scsi command failure check at initialisation and termination of
- sampling function because of some drive that can but refuse these command
- anyway.
- ·Added my E-Mail address in 'About' window (Requested)
- ·Added config autosave, some tooltypes are now obsolete, please remove
- SAMPLENAME, DRIVETYPE, SAMPLEFORMAT, SAMPLECHANNEL, SAMPLEFREQ from your icon
- ·Added Drive Subcode in prefs
- ·Added Volume prefs. Note that volume is not initialized anymore to 127 ateach
- start except if no config (first start)
- ·Added slider in player part for fast search in song
- ·Finally, as suggested by a lot of users, I have added possibility to put disk
- descriptions in a Database, mainly because the little cd description files are
- very diskspace consuming. But be careful, as it's an archive database style, I
- have splitted it in many files for faster access. BTW, if HD space doesn't
- really matter for you, old format is still recognized (load,save,...) and will
- never be removed as it's a standard...
- ·Added button for 'Disk to DataBase' conversion
- ·Added button for 'DataBase to Disk' conversion
- ·Added gauge progression for DataBase manipulation and Sample save
- ·Added BUFMEMTYPE for DMA controllers, value: 0=ANY, 512=24BITDMA, ...
- ·Added possibility to ear *in real time* the sampling preview/process thru the
- amiga audio channels. The replay is always 8 bits even if 16 bits save was
- selected but you can play at 44.1khz if you have a screenmode with horizontal
- freq >15khz, so if you use OptyCD on a PAL or NTSC screen, don't try 44100 !
- Keep in mind that this mode is very cpu consuming and will give bad result on
- low powered system since sampling can only be done at ~150 k/s. By the way,
- you will notice that channel are not always synchronised, it's because I don't
- know how to sync the 4 voices. Anybody can help me ?
- ·Added cycle and pref saving of the output mode (in sampling part)
- ·Added icons from Rudy Top
-
- - V1.4 (Jul-96)
- ·Included greek catalog
- ·Included finnish catalog
- ·Catalog description is now compatible with catedit
- ·Included italian catalog
- ·Added DISKIDPATH to specify the path for disk id files
- ·Fixed VOLTYPE, It was not activated...
- ·Now value outside 1..3 range for VOLTYPE mean software volume disabled
- ·Removed this ugly Eject lock, I found a workaround to detect 'hard' insertion
- and ejection while using my special routine for universal CDDA autodetection.
- In fact, only CD drive that continue to give CD directory of the last ejected
- CD will still have some problems...
- ·Removed skip track bug introduced with fast search bar
- ·Now, 'Repeat All' works for programs too
- ·Possibility to make 'repeat' the 'random' mode (Random must be selectedfirst)
- ·Now 'Start Prog' start at launch of program AND at CD insertion too
- ·The documentation is now in AmigaGuide format
- ·OptyCDPlayer should now work (specially programs) iconified, even whenstarted
- iconified
- ·Found a way to synchronize Amiga voices, there should be no more distortion
- ·It is now *really* possible to insert a disk with player page not the active
- one
- ·Math ieee library for AIFF not more needed...
- ·Possibility to start Random while playing (will be randomized at the next
- track played)
- ·Now if ASYNCBUFFER as a value lower than 2048 then synchronous write will be
- used
- ·Database now contains 1389 CD descriptions
-
- - V1.5 (Aug-96)
- ·If VOLTYPE is equal to 0 then there is no volume button
- ·Added "Project" menu with "About", "About MUI", and "Quit"
- ·About button has been removed

- ·Added Atapi sampling command, please report me if you drive works with it(try
- it even if it's an SCSI...)
- ·Status bar removed and replaced by graphical items
- ·The first page of the player now react to up/down keys, they play next/prev
- title in the list by changing the list active title
- ·Play/Stop/Next/Previous/Forward/Rewind/Eject commands react to shortkeys
- defined by tooltypes (see tooltypes part).

- ·Removed Disknote.rexx (obsolete, use FILENOTE tooltype instead)
- ·Added support for YACDP diskfiles format (see YACDP tooltype), unfortunately
- there is no possibility to convert from this format to MCD format or the
- database format excepted when the corresponding CD is inserted, to say that
- 'YACDPDisks->DB' and 'DB->YACDPDisks' can't be made.
- ·Added in the About window the number of CDs contained in the database
