- 14bit NotePlayer Genie V2.66 (16-Jun-98)
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- Introduction
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~
- This is the well known 14bit NotePlayer that comes with the DeliTracker
- distribution. After Peter Kunath gave me the sourcecode, I was able to add
- various features. Please notice that you need at least an MC68020 to use
- them as the MC68000 routines have been left untouched! So there's NO reason
- for MC68000 owners to download this new genie.
-
- Plenty of cpu power is appreciated (although the Genie will not be 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
-
- Small list of new features/improvements:
-
- - Now uses a faster longword chipmem transfer.
- - Added Panning support (e.g. for FastTracker modules).
- - Added stereo width slider (so this incorporates the HeadPhones Genie).
- - Added Interpolation mode for high quality mixing.
- - Added DSP Routines: Echo (Reverb), Hall (Reverb with feedback) and
- Reverser (each one is available in Mono, Cross or Center mode).
- - Added ModSave function (16 Bit AIFF or RAW file).
- - The ModSave routine has a Normalize option which will do a peak search.
- - The ModSaver also will cut off NULL-samples at the beginning and at the
- end of a saved soundfile.
- - Actual (DMA) mixing frequency is now displayed aswell.
- - Now uses a 256 samples buffer instead of 200, which speeds things up a
- little and doesn't cost too much precision.
- - Settings can be saved individually for each module.

- History
- ~~~~~~~
- V2.65 (06-Jun-98):
- - First public (AmiNet) release of the new version.
-
- V2.66 (16-Jun-98):
- - Doubled the ModSave Buffers (now 128KB) for slower machines to avoid
- overflows. This flaw has been reported by Ralph Bernecker.
- - Detected a bug which would not flush the last ModSave Buffer if a PCM
- RAW file should have been written. Fixed.
- - Added feature to cut off trailing NULL-samples when doing a ModSave.
- - Added busy pointer during truncating or normalizing process.
- - Now you'll get a file request when pressing return in an empty Filename
- string gadget.
- - All settings can now be saved individually for each module.
- - Interpolation routine now uses 15bit accuracy instead of 8bit for
- subsample factor calculation (just a little bit slower).
