- ***************************************************************************
- *** Purpose ***
- ***************************************************************************
-
- ZSound enables you to play any SoundTracker (15 and 31 instruments) and
- NoiseTracker music modules. It can be used as a stand-alone module player,
- or it can be used as part of a larger multimedia presentation. It was
- designed to be flexible and polite. It will not hog your memory, and can
- be customized in many different ways to conform to your needs and hardware.
-
- For a complete list of improvements since the last version of this program,
- see the section "Revisions & Planned Enhancements".
-
-
-
- ***************************************************************************
- *** Features ***
- ***************************************************************************
-
- ZSound has been designed with two major intents:
-
- (1) To be a stand-alone music player
- (2) To be usable as part of an larger multimedia presentation
-
-
- In either of these endeavors, ZSound can provide the following options:
-
- * Plays SoundTracker (15 and 31 instrument) and NoiseTracker music
- modules.
-
- * Works in a multitasking environment.
-
- * Works on systems with limited memory. (This program has successfully
- played a 410k SoundTracker module on an Amiga with only 512k of Chip
- memory and no Fast memory. Not even Module Master 1.7 can do that!)
-
- * Works with the original Amiga custom chip set.
-
- * Written to conform to Commodore's programming guidelines, so it
- will work on all Amigas all the time.
-
-
- As a stand-alone music player, this program has the following specialized
- features and capabilities (using the window environment):
-
- * An optional user-selectable full featured window display, complete
- with control panel gadgets which give you control of the module being
- played. Gadgets include: Play, Pause, Stop, Loop, Speed, and Filter.
-
- * An LED-like display panel that show what the status of the player is,
- as well as what settings are currently being used. Display information
- includes player status, filter status, playback speed, and song
- looping status.
-
- * Switch between NTSC (North American) and PAL (European) playback
- speeds on the fly.
-
- * Toggle the audio high frequency filter on and off on the fly.
-
- * Standard Amiga window gadgets allow depth selection and window closing.
-
-
- The Amiga is a presentation and multimedia computer, and this program can
- help you with such presentations. The things which make this program ideal
- for such a purpose are (using the CLI/Shell options):
-
- * Usable with AmigaVision.
-
- * Run as a background task to provide slideshow and presentation music.
-
- * Will not bog down the CPU when used to provide background music. This
- frees up your system for the actual presentation.
-
- * Option to shut off any window or text screen output.
-
- * Option to toggle the high frequency audio filter on and off.
-
- * Option to specify whether or not the song should be played
- continuously (looping).
-
- * Option to specify playback speed: NTSC or PAL.
-
- * Can be run from an AmigaDOS script. Error codes are returned by the
- program, enabling you to plan ahead for any unpleasant suprises when
- you need them the least.
-
-
-
- ***************************************************************************
- *** Requirements ***
- ***************************************************************************
-
- In order to use ZSound, you must have the following:
-
- * An Amiga computer
- * Workbench 1.3
- * The ZSound executable file (supplied)
- * Module.library file (supplied)
- * At least one SoundTracker or NoiseTracker music module (not supplied)
-
-
-
- ***************************************************************************
- *** Installation ***
- ***************************************************************************
-
- Before this program can be used at all, it is imperative that you place the
- included file "Module.Library" into your "libs" directory on your Workbench
- disk. To do this on any Amiga system, issue the following command:
-
- 1> copy module.library libs:
-
- And press return. Users with one disk drive may be prompted to insert their
- Workbench disk and switch the write protect tab on the disk. Please do so,
- or the "module.library" cannot be installed. Hard disk users should have no
- trouble with the above setup.
-
- If you would like to add this program and its documentation to your
- Workbench disk, issue the next command and press return:
-
- 1> copy ZSound#? c:
-
- Again, single drive users may be prompted to insert their Workbench disk
- and switch its write protect tab. The program is now properly installed.
-
-
-
- ***************************************************************************
- *** Usage ***
- ***************************************************************************
-
- ZSound is not currently executable from the Workbench, so it must be used
- from the Amiga Command Line Interface (CLI) or a Shell window. The usage
- for this program is:
-
- ZSound [<Module Name>] [NTSC|PAL] [Loop|NoLoop] [FilterToggle]
- [NoText] [NoWindow] [Debug]
-
- You can have this same information displayed at any time simply by running
- the program with no arguments.
-
- The argument [<Module Name>] can be the name of any valid SoundTracker or
- NoiseTracker music module. (Full drive/paths may be used as part of a
- module name. For more information, see the "Usage Examples" section.)
-
- SoundTracker and NoiseTracker modules are generally identifiable by the
- prefix "MOD." or suffix ".MOD". If you are unsure whether a file is a
- module or not, try and play it with this program anyway. If it is not a
- module, you will be told so, and if it is a module, it will be loaded into
- memory.
-
-
-
- ***************************************************************************
- *** Command Line Flags ***
- ***************************************************************************
-
- The program makes use of command line "flags", also known as command line
- "arguments", which will greatly enhance the program's utility and power.
- The way which a SoundTracker module is played may be modified to suite
- your tastes or needs. Flags are not case sensitive, but must be spelled
- correctly to be understood by the program.
-
- The current flags available are:
-
- Flag Name : NTSC
- Description: Enables playback of the module using the NTSC (National
- Television Standards Committee) refresh speed of 60 Hz. This
- option should be used by those in North America. The default
- speed is NTSC. (To those using a PAL Amiga, using the NTSC
- flag will have the effect of speeding up the playback speed
- of a module.)
-
- Flag Name : PAL
- Description: Enables playback of the module using the PAL (Phase
- Alternation Line) refresh speed of 50 Hz. This option should
- be used by those in Europe and outside of North America. (To
- those using an NTSC Amiga, using the PAL flag will have the
- effect of slowing down the playback speed of a module.)
-
- Flag Name : LOOP
- Description: Enables the program to play the module continuosly and without
- any interruption (that is, once the end of the song is reached,
- playing will resume at the beginning of the song). When this
- flag is used from the CLI in conjunction with the NOWINDOW
- flag, the module will play forever and cannot be stopped (this
- is intentional, as it permits modules to be looped continuously
- as background music during a presentation).
-
- Flag Name : NOLOOP
- Description: Restricts the program to playing the module one time only. Once
- the end of the song is reached, it will not be played again.
-
- Flag Name : FILTERTOGGLE
- Description: Will check the current state of the Amiga high frequency
- audio filter and will change its state. This filter will
- enable higher-frequency sounds to be played audibly by the
- Amiga when turned off. When turned on, the filter will tone
- down high-frequency sounds (ie: high pitch notes), and all
- music sounds somewhat quieter. The high-frequency audio filter
- is said to be "off" when the Amiga Power LED is either dimmed
- or not lit at all. The filter is said be "on" when this LED
- is at its brightest state.
-
- Flag Name : NOTEXT
- Description: Suppresses all normal output to the CLI. Error messages are
- not suppressed, and will appear as normal if they occur.
- (This flag is ideal for use in slideshows where text or
- window output from any programs other than the presentation
- program will just get in the way.) [This flag was previously
- known as QUIET in versions 1.00 through 1.10 of this program.]
-
- Flag Name : NOWINDOW
- Description: Forbids the opening of the program's output window, and also
- supresses all text output which would normally appear in the
- window. (This flag is ideal for use in slideshows where
- text or window output from any programs other than the
- presentation program will just get in the way.)
-
- Flag Name : DEBUG
- Description: Used for debugging purposes only. The program will generate
- information helpful for tracking down errors and ensuring
- that the program works properly during debugging. This flag
- has no use for the end-user and is intended for the author's
- convenience only.
-
-
-
- ***************************************************************************
- *** Default Settings ***
- ***************************************************************************
-
- This program maintains a built-in list of default flag settings. What this
- means is that the program will use these settings when the program is run,
- unless the user tells the program to do otherwise. A user may modify one or
- more of these settings (without disturbing any other settings) by using
- command line flags.
-
- The built-in default settings are:
-
- Feature Default Change setting by
- description: setting: using this flag:
- -----------------------------------------------------
- Playback speed NTSC NTSC or PAL
- Audio filter toggle OFF FilterToggle
- CLI/Shell text output ON NoText
- Window output ON NoWindow
- Module looping OFF Loop or NoLoop
- Debugging information OFF Debug
-
-
-
- ***************************************************************************
- *** Debugging ***
- ***************************************************************************
-
- As mentioned earlier, the Debug flag is intended primarily for the use of
- the programmer, and it does nothing more than display internal settings,
- flags, and status messages. The typical user will have no use for Debug.
-
- The arguments displayed are shown in formatted columns, as are the internal
- program flags. Note that any redirection command line argument will not
- appear as an argument when using the Debug flag; this occurs because the
- redirection argument is intercepted by AmigaDOS before the program ever
- receives it. As such, the following example may actually have five
- arguments when issued in the command line, but when the program receives
- it (after intercepted by AmigaDOS), it actually only has four:
-
- Issued in the command line:
- 1> ZSound >RAM:TEXT Mod.Twin_Peaks FilterToggle Debug
-
- Program receives the arguments as:
- 1> ZSound Mod.Twin_Peaks FilterToggle Debug
-
-
-
- ***************************************************************************
- *** Usage Examples ***
- ***************************************************************************
-
- The following examples are provided to help you make better understand the
- features of this program. All examples assume that you possess a
- SoundTracker music module called "Mod.Twin_Peaks". (This module is not
- provided with the distibution archive of this program, and is used as an
- example only. However, you may substitute the name of any module in its
- place to yield identical results.)
-
- Example: Load a module.
- Command: ZSound Mod.Twin_Peaks
- Notes : This example assumes that the module is in your current directory.
- Since no command line arguments are supplied, the program will
- automatically revert to using its built-in default settings.)
-
- Example: Load a module located in a different directory.
- Command: ZSound Music/Mod.Twin_Peaks
- Notes : This example assumes that the module is in a subdirectory called
- "Music". It is not necessary to change you current directory in
- order to load a module located in a different directory. In fact,
- the module need not even be on the same disk.
-
- Example: Load a module located on a different disk.
- Command: ZSound DF1:Music/Mod.Twin_Peaks
- Notes : This example assumes that the module is on a disk in drive DF1:,
- and that it is also located within a directory called "Music" on
- that same disk.
-
- Example: Load a module located on a hard disk.
- Command: ZSound DH0:Music/Modules/Mod.Twin_Peaks
- Notes : This example assumes you have a hard disk called "DH0:", and that
- the module is located down inside of two directories (the first
- being "Music", and the next down being "Modules".)
-
- Example: Load a module using logical path names.
- Command: ZSound Music:Mod.Twin_Peaks
- Notes : This example assumes that you have created a logical device called
- "Music:", and that the module is located within that logical
- device. (For more information on logical devices, refer to the
- AmigaDOS manual section dealing with the command "Assign".)
-
- Example: Load a module, use the PAL playback speed.
- Command: ZSound Mod.Twin_Peaks PAL
- Notes : This example loads a module in the current directory, and changes
- the program's playback speed to PAL. (Refer to the section "Command
- Line Flags" under the flag "PAL".)
-
- Example: Load a module, toggle the high frequency audio filter.
- Command: ZSound Mod.Twin_Peaks FilterToggle
- Notes : This example loads a module in the current directory, and toggles
- the high frequency audio filter. (Refer to the flag "FilterToggle"
- in the section "Command Line Flags".)
-
- Example: Load a module, but do not display an output window.
- Command: ZSound Mod.Twin_Peaks NoWindow
- Notes : This example loads a module in the current directory and will not
- open any output window. (Refer to the flag "NoWindow" in the
- section "Command Line Flags".)
-
- Example: Load a module, but do not display any text in the CLI or Shell.
- Command: ZSound Mod.Twin_Peaks NoText
- Notes : This example loads a module in the current directory and will not
- display any kind of text output in the CLI or Shell from which it
- was run. (Refer to the flag "NoText" in the section "Command Line
- Flags".)
-
- Example: Load a song in a logical device, use PAL playback speed, toggle
- the high frequency audio filter, and suppress both window and
- text output.
- Command: ZSound Music:Mod.Twin_Peaks PAL FilterToggle NoText NoWindow
- Notes : This example loads a module on the logical device "Music:",
- changes the playback speed to PAL, toggles the audio filter, and
- supresses all CLI and window output. (Refer to the flags "PAL",
- "FilterToggle", "NoText" and "NoWindow" in the section "Command
- Line Flags".)
-
-
-
- ***************************************************************************
- *** Using The Control Window ***
- ***************************************************************************
-
- This program gives you the option of using a window to control a music
- module. This window will be opened by default. (To prevent the window
- from opening, refer to the "NoWindow" flag in the "Command Line Flags"
- section.)
-
- Once opened, you are presented with a window in the middle of the screen.
- You will see a small horizontal bar containing some information - this is
- the "information display". In this small display are show the current
- program settings and the status of the module. When run with no flags, the
- information display should read:
-
- +-------------------------------------+
- | Stopped Loop Off Toggle Off NTSC |
- +-------------------------------------+
- ^ ^ ^ ^
- | | | |
- Module status ----+ | | +---- Playback speed
- | |
- Loop status ----+ +---- Filter toggle status
-
- The "Module status" may say any of the following possible things:
-
- Status: Meaning:
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
- Loading The song specified is being loaded into memory
- Playing The song which was loaded is currently being played
- Paused The song which was played has been temporarily paused
- Stopped The song in memory is not currently playing or paused
-
- The "Loop status" can be either "On" or "Off". When "On", the song will
- loop continuously until paused, stopped, or until the program is stopped
- by clicking on the close window gadget.
-
- The "Filter toggle status" can be either "On" or "Off". When "On", the
- high frequency audio filter has been toggled. When "Off", it has not been
- toggled.
-
- The "Playback speed" can be either "NTSC" or "PAL". When "NTSC", then the
- song is being played at a speed of 60 Hz (NTSC). When "PAL", then the song
- is being played at a speed of 50 Hz. (See the flags "NTSC" and "PAL" in
- the section "Command Line Flags" for more information on playback speeds.)
-
- The grouping of gadgets below the information display is known as the
- "control panel". It is with this control panel that you are able to make
- the song pause, play, stop, and change any of the previously mentioned
- information shown in the "information display". The gadgets are (from left
- to right):
-
- Gadget : Pause
- Description: Two side-by-side vertical rectangles
- Purpose : Pauses the module being played
-
- Gadget : Play
- Description: Triangle with its right-angle point facing right
- Purpose : Plays the module in memory
-
- Gadget : Stop
- Description: Square
- Purpose : Stops playing the module being played or paused
-
- Gadget : Loop
- Description: Arrow pointing to its own tail
- Purpose : Plays the song in memory continuously until stopped or paused
-
- Gadget : Speed
- Description: Speedometer
- Purpose : Toggles playback speed between NTSC and PAL
-
- Gadget : Filter
- Description: Lightbulb
- Purpose : Toggles the high frequency audio filter on and off
-
- The window also has the standard Amiga close-window gadget which will, when
- clicked, stop playing the song in memory immediately and stop the program.
- The standard Amiga window-depth gadgets are also present, which permit the
- window to be pushed to the back of the Workbench screen or brought to the
- front of it.
-
-
-
- ***************************************************************************
- *** Multitasking ***
- ***************************************************************************
-
- To make this program multitask, it is necessary to use the AmigaDOS "Run"
- command (not supplied with this program). As an example, if you desire to
- run some music in the background:
-
- 1> run ZSound Mod.Twin_Peaks
-
- While this song is playing, you will retain full control of your Amiga.
-
-
-
- ***************************************************************************
- *** Output Redirection ***
- ***************************************************************************
-
- The text output generated by this program can be redirected into a text
- file or to a printer. This does not include any text which appears within
- the program's window, only text which is displayed within the CLI window
- which the program was run from. This may be of limited use, but it is
- possible.
-
- To redirect the text output of the program to a text file, use the
- following format (any combination of flags may be used):
-
- 1> ZSound >TextFile.txt Mod.Twin_Peaks
-
- Or even:
-
- 1> run ZSound >TextFile.txt Mod.Twin_Peaks
-
- Redirecting text output to a printer is just as simple (example makes
- use of the debugging flag):
-
- 1> ZSound >PRT: Mod.Twin_Peaks Debug
-
-
-
- ***************************************************************************
- *** Script File Usage ***
- ***************************************************************************
-
- This program can also be used within an AmigaDOS script file. Return codes
- have been provided to accomodate the AmigaDOS "FailAt" and "Quit" commands.
- The following are all possible return codes which can be issued:
-
- 0: No errors occured.
- 5: A non-fatal error occured (warning only); built-in defaults and
- error checking automatically resolved the problem. An error
- message will appear telling you exactly what happened and how the
- problem was resolved. Be sure to contact the author in the event
- of such an error.
- 20: Fatal error. Something occured which prevented the program from
- working properly; the program will display a more explanatory
- error message to tell you exactly what went wrong.
-
- An example script file using this program is as follows:
-
- failat 20
- run ZSound Music:Mod.TwinPeaks FilterToggle NoWindow NoText
- type Texts:Credits.TXT
-
- The script file will cease execution immediately whenever any command or
- program returns a returncode value of 20 or more. The music is run as a
- background task, and a text file is immediately typed to the screen with
- the AmigaDOS "Type" command.
-
- For more information on AmigaDOS script files, refer to your Amiga manual.
-
-
-
- ***************************************************************************
- *** Troubleshooting ***
- ***************************************************************************
-
- It is possible that you will encounter an error in some form or another
- during your use of this program. All error messages generated by the
- program are listed and explained below.
-
- Message : "Error: can't open Intuition.library."
- Explanation: The program was unable to access and use a part of the Amiga
- Kickstart ROM chip. This function, the Intuition.library,
- enables the use of a windowing environment on the Amiga.
- What to do : This is a hardware problem. Reset your machine after you have
- stopped all other processes and try to run the program again.
- If this does not work, contact your Amiga dealer or an
- authorized repair center for help.
-
- Message : "Error: can't open Module.library."
- Explanation: The program cannot open the file "Module.library", which it
- needs in order to play any SoundTracker or NoiseTracker music
- modules.
- What to do : Copy the file "module.library" into your LIBS: directory. If
- you do not have this file, check the original distribution
- archive which contained this program. If it is not there,
- contact the author in order to obtain a copy of this library.
-
- Message : "Error: can't open main window."
- Explanation: The program was unable to open a window which it uses for
- data output.
- What to do : Ensure that you are using a screen resolution of 640 wide or
- greater (any screen height is acceptable). The program assumes
- that you are using a screen resolution of 640x200 (the number
- of colors is inconsequential). It is also possible that your
- Amiga may not have enough available memory in order to open
- the program's window - in this case, stop other processes
- which are running and run this program again.
-
- Message : "Error: can't put device lock on <ModuleName>."
- Explanation: The program could not properly access the SoundTracker/
- NoiseTracker module your specified. The program attempts to
- put a "file lock" on the module before it attempts to load it
- into memory or play it. (This is done to accomodate
- multitasking situations where another application tries to
- access the same module you are trying to load.)
- What to do : Check to make sure that you spelled the name of the module
- correctly. If you did, you are experiencing some kind of
- multitasking conflict that the Amiga operating system cannot
- handle (which is rare).
-
- Message : "Error: can't load <ModuleName>."
- Explanation: The program cannot find or load the module specified in the
- location it looked for it at.
- What to do : Ensure the module exists. It may be necessary to provide a
- full path/name for the module. (See the Usage Examples
- section of this documentation).
-
- Message : "Error: out of memory."
- Explanation: Your Amiga has run out of memory, and cannot sucessfully
- run the program or module.
- What to do : Add more memory to your Amiga.
-
- Message : "Error: <ModuleName> isn't a SoundTracker or NoiseTracker
- module."
- Explanation: The program tried to load the file it was told to load, but
- it was not a SoundTracker or NoiseTracker module file.
- What to do : As there are variations of the SoundTracker and NoiseTracker
- module formats, it is possible that you have tried to load a
- module which this program does not yet support. If this is
- the case, contact the author immediately (include a copy of
- the module which would not play so it can be examined) so
- that the program may be upgraded to play the module type.
-
- Message : "Error: can't determine playback speed; using NTSC."
- Explanation: The program experienced difficulty in determining what
- playback speed to use - NTSC or PAL. The program will
- automatically default to using NTSC.
- What to do : Nothing. This problem will take care of itself. If this error
- reoccurs oftens, contact the author immediately (include a
- note explaining the problem) so that the program may be
- upgraded to solve the problem.
-
- Message : "Error: can't determine filter toggle; won't toggle."
- Explanation: The program experience difficulty in determining whether or
- not to toggle the state of the high frequency audio filter
- (ie: dim or brighten the Amiga "Power" LED). The program will
- automatically default to no toggle.
- What to do : Nothing. This problem will take care of itself. If this error
- reoccurs oftens, contact the author immediately (include a
- note explaining the problem) so that the program may be
- upgraded to solve the problem.
-
-
-
- ***************************************************************************
- *** Program Integrity & Bugs ***
- ***************************************************************************
-
- It is the author's goal to keep this program as stable, correct, and as
- bug-free as possible. For this reason it employs careful error checking
- techniques, particularly when dealing with locks and memory. Everything
- which is opened is closed, even when errors occur. As an Amiga user
- himself, the author loves cleanly written programs, particularly those
- that don't suck up system resources when they screw up.
-
- This program has its own built-in error messages, and all are largely
- self-explanitory. These error messages generally only appear when the
- user has done something incorrectly.
-
- However, should you discover any bugs in this program, please record them
- and contact me immediately so that they may be corrected and the fixed
- version of the program released.
-
-
-
- ***************************************************************************
- *** Program Background ***
- ***************************************************************************
-
- Having spent alot of time dealing with Amiga music (mainly listening to it)
- and creating an occassional slideshow, it's always been my desire to use
- quality music. To date, SoundTracker modules provide the best quality music
- I've heard on the Amiga. However, I've always had to work with players
- written by others which never seemed to do exactly what I needed them to
- do.
-
- ZSound is an effort in this direction, and will become a central part to
- bringing quality music to my future slideshows.
-
-
-
- ***************************************************************************
- *** Revisions & Planned Enhancements ***
- ***************************************************************************
-
- The following changes have been made to this program since the previous
- version:
-
- * Output window: gadgets added to make the program truly interactive
- (Pause, Play, Stop, Loop, Speed, and Filter). Aesthetic changes also
- made.
- * Command line arguments: no longer case sensitive. "Quiet" flag has been
- renamed "NoText" (makes flag names easier to remember - the function
- remains the same). New "Loop" and "NoLoop" flags added.
- * Text output: Debugging information now formatted and cleaner looking.
- More likely to fit on a single screen than before.
- * Code enhancements: Main window opening code and some loop counting code
- rewritten. Improved argument interpretation routine - it's shorter,
- smarter, and faster than before. Alot of new error checking added,
- particularly when dealing with Intuition.
-
- Known bugs in this version:
- * Contrary to the author's quaint article on how he likes programs that
- don't suck up system resources when they screw up, it's been discovered
- that this program does just that: after execution, the program will chew
- up approximately 100 bytes to 1 kilobyte of FAST RAM. (Interestingly, this
- bug does not effect CHIP RAM at all.) This also prevents the program
- from being able to be completely detached from the launching CLI/Shell.
- The problem is being tracked down. (It's only fair that users of this
- program know of its flaws as well as its benfits.)
-
- Planned Enhancements:
- * Wildcards, including the AmigaDOS wildcard combination (#?) and the
- well-liked asterisk (*) familiar to UNIX, MS-DOS, and Amiga ARP users.
- * User flag to allow play-time length.
- * ARexx support.
