QTM v1.00 - a total rewrite into the fourth release
---------------------------------------------------
Most of the help is now provided by a nice Hiper help file, but, for those
of you who haven't encountered QTM before...
QTM is my music player wot I wrote. It is the final development of a program
no-one except people who laugh at me have probably heard of called Musax.
The current version has been totally, utterly and completely revamped from
earlier versions in an attempt to produce the ultimate music player. No
doubt some smart alec will do something better and not tell me, and v2.00
will have to be even more ultimate.
Using it is simplicity itself. If you haven't got NewerLook loaded, the tunes
should appear as cassettes, which can be either double-clicked upon to play,
or you can drag them into the tape recorder for the ultimate in drag'n'drop
wonderousness (and to make PC users go a pale shade of green).
QTM can play 4 instrument soundtrackers, protrackers and startrekker format
tunes, as well as close relatives. It can convert and play 4-channel
ArcTracker tunes AND it has a plug-in which enables the playing of
Digital Symphony tunes. I don't have any other players, so that's all you
get at the moment.
Having worked out how to use the simpler features of QTM, you may now
progress to the more complex ones. To gain access to these, you need to use
the icon bar menu, which has a handy 'Goodies' option which contains what the
name implies. The precise contents are uncertain depending on what you have
loaded in the line of plug-ins, but the basic options are:
Controls - the standard control window
Song Info - all you never wanted to know about the song/silence you are
playing
Samples - the various instruments involved in the current tune
Playlist - allows you to play lots of different songs, in the manner
of a jukebox with 10p stuck in the slot.
Sidebars - A reconfigurable toolbar which sits on the side of the screen
Options - control all the assorted aspects of QTM
Choosing any of these options will result in the appropriate window opening.
If you can't work something out, refer to the Hiper Text help file, because
I'm not documenting everything twice.
