                              --- History ---




v0.9ß, 27.12.1995 (The Party 1995 Release):
  first public version

v0.905ß, 03.01.1996:
  little bugfixed version, now stopping song when loading a new one.
  instrumentnames will now be loaded correctly. When deleting song, song-
  and instrumentnames weren't deleted. Fixed. Enhanced help-file.
  replaced dexter's e-mail address.

v0.96, 26.04.1996 (Saturne Party 1996 Release):
  Stoping song when clearing current module. You may now use command 3,
  which is TONE-PORTAMENTO (3xx like in ProTracker), fixed that problem!
  Now using "THX.'Songname'" and "INS.'Instrumentname'" as filename when
  saving. Now 2 seperate Song and Instrument filerequesters.
  Added track-command 5 (keep TonePortamento and VolumeSlide, like in PT!)
  Added fastscrolling to helpfile (function worked in former versions!).
  Added POSITIONJUMP (Bxx like in ProTracker), but position-parameter IS TO
  enter decimal! read the manual for further help!
  Added OverrideSquareRelation (call it as you want) command 9xx in the
  trackeditor (in pt this is sampleoffset).. see doc for further help.
  Added the C50-C90 command for the tracks, which is to set the
  TrackMasterVolumes of ALL the 4 voices!
  Added the 8xx command for the tracks, which is to use for external timing!
  Fixed Note-Dragging in PerformanceList (did only work with instr. 1)
  Now you can mark/copy/paste/insert positions in pos-ed! use ctrl-b/c/v/i
  Added the EDx command (NoteDelay) and the ECx command (NoteCut). for
  further help read the pt-docs or the thx-help file...
  Fixed the loadsong-bug (when loading sometimes crashd) and the savesong-bug
  (saving an empty song it saved 65535 tracks. hd full? <hi moone!> fixed!)
  Added Subsongs now finally --> thx-help file!!
  Included Replayer-code (to use with "IncBIN"; 100% pc-relative) for your
  own productions (contact me in case of ANY problem!). Also included a very
  nice DeliPlayer for THX-modules.. yeeeahhh!! (you can also use it with tha
  delitracker-clone Eagle-Player (sorry guys, butt that's the truth!)
  Activated the Load-buttons in both main-screen and instr.ed.
  Enhanced the Tab key, so you can now use it with Control (doc!)...
  For further help to the replayer-code contact me.

v1.0, 12.7.1996 (The Summer Party 1996 Release)-<released August 1st>:
  Fixed replay code so that you can now actually
  - play notes as low as you want without getting problems with playing
    another instrument afterwards! (was an audiohardware problem, now i'm
    using a $280 byte large (small!) samplebuffer for every voice so i won't
    have any problems with playing new instruments as i'm just copying the
    new waveform into the buffer) - problem also occured in the older
    version of Iridon by Pink/Abyss! - NOW FIKKZ'D
  - play tunes directly after turning on your amiga's power (didn't run in
    the older versions, but now it does, so you can use the replayer for
    demos/intros now!)
  - check replayer's time! doesn't need min. 12 frames now anymore, but
    needs to copy max. $280*4 bytes/frame from fast->chip !! 
  Added the About-menu point (on request). Added playing time-display (when
  playing only). Now Left-Amiga Q/C/L/S/A works (only L and S worked in
  previous thx versions).
  Added Record mode finally (R-Shift like PT ofcourse)
  Fixed Volume Command (Cxx), which ignored values over CCF (in track/ins!)
  Now the Test Mode (Caps Lock) doesn't affect the Pattern Editing anymore.
  You can actually run thx while playsid's running, so converting tunes is
  a lot more easy now!!
  ++ Finally Portamento (3xx command) workz fine, so go'n SLIDE TO HELL NOW!

v1.10, 01.10.1996 (Oktoberfest '96-Release)-<release delayed to Halloween)
  Now THX Sound System workz fine on every monitor-type as I'm now finally
  using a CIA-Music-Interrupt instead of that Vertical-Blank-Interrupt.
  BIG THanX must go to K-P Koljonen, the genius!! coder of HippoPlayer
  (k-p@kalahari.ton.tut.fi) who sent me the cia source (which had 1 bug)...
  The keyboard-bug (the qualifiers lamiga/lalt etc. stuck and so by pressing
  only q thx quit!) is now "fixed". the bug appeared e.g. if you swicthed
  the thx screen to back using l-amiga m (thx got a lamiga down) and switched
  it to front again using the depth-gadget (with mouse) so thx still thought
  the l-amiga key was pressed!! if there should still be any problems, write
  me pleeze!
  Now you can save more than 127 tracks (up to all 256 as it should be :-)

v1.27, 27.12.1996 (The Party 1996 Release - yeaaah! one year after !):
  now finally challenged lazyness and managed to implement:
  ctrl-b/c/v/i (mark/copy/paste/insert) - Track Editor (PosEd already worked)
  ctrl-k (kill to end of track) - Track Editor
  Ins'ing/Dragging Positions now available (sorry stargazer-now it's there)
  fixed that pList trashing when hacking the wrong key in fx1/fx2
  Now 100% compatible with vbrun300.dll emulation (whoo-haa! :-)
  NOW THERE IS ALSO A 68000 VERSION OF THE REPLAY CODE (DIRECTLY FROM *ME!*)
  Forgot in v1.10 to mention (in history file) that ctrl-bcvi in posed
  already existed some time ago before 1.10!
  Shift-F3/F4/F5 Cut/Copy/Paste Track (same as in pt :-) +
  Cntrl-F3/F4/F5 Cut/Copy/Paste Track-Commands now implemented! (using two
  different buffers for track and track-commands!!)
  Alt-F4/F5 Copy/Paste Instrument also worked before v1.10 but wasn't
  mentioned, sorry again for that fellows...
  Now CTRL can be used in combination with Backspace/Enter likely to Shift
  to Drag up/Insert Effects (not Notes+Effect only Effects;track ed+instr.ed)
  Now you can Inc/Dec current position in posed with CTRL-Up/Down in tracked!
  Implemented Swap Voices (same as in pt, CTRL-T)
  EditSkip for Tracks/PerformanceList included (seperate editskips, ctrl/0-9)
  Fixed the bug when loading a tune containing 0 subsongs the subsongtable
  wasn't reset.
  Implemented the 3 keys right of ..7890 (depends on your keyboard!), which
  will (in combination with left-alt only when cursor's at the note-field)
  copy down and decrease/copy down and increase/copy down the effect from
  one step above (once again 100% pt-compatible!!)
  EC/ED and PositionJump Commands should be fixed now (PosJump sucked in
  DeliTracker and EC/ED in THX itself! -NEW DELIPLAYER + NEW BINARYPLAYER!)

v2.00, 10.08.1997 (The Assembly '97-Release):
  now you can slide (square and filters) beginning out of the specified
  range (e.g. you won't have to set the filter (standard=32) and can
  specify a range between 48 and 63---thx will slide from 32 up to 63,
  then down to 48, again up to 63, down to 48 and so on. Same goes for
  square (but you have to set the beginning value, which means that
  c-1 3 320 400  with lowerlimit set to e.g. 48 and upper limit set to
  e.g. 63 will work now!!!) 
  YEP!!! you read right!!! i mentioned .f.i.l.t.e.r.s. .!.!. *large grin*
  refer to doc for more about this fab thing!! and DO NOT FORGET to
  precalc them ONCE using the menu topic in the Project menu !!!
  If you tried to load a non-thx tune, the file hasn't been closed (well
  I called _LVOClose(a6) but from the requster a6 was IntBase :-)
  VUMeters, Preferences, CPUUsage display, double-/triple-/quadruple-speed
  cia-player (use sparingly, will eat much rastertime!-field left to
  voice0's track-nr.)!
  cmd $d patternbreak will now allow a parameter (refer inbuilt-help)
  YEP!!! you read right!!! i mentioned .h.e.l.p. .!.!. *large grin again*
  press HELP to get the inbuilt-help and SHIFT-help to get open the
  AmigaGuide Help on WB.
  added hardcut finally! refer doc...
  fixed that "period wraps around" problem.. if you played an C-5 instrument
  with C-2 in the tracks, that makes C-6 at all, and in different thx
  releases this sounded different (also in the deli/binary-player what
  people wrote me!). Now the note gets cut to B-5 always!!
  Note to cut the notes to B-5 was my fault (i only cutted the final
  audioperiods to C-1 -> B-5) BUT TO TRY TO PLAY AN C-6 WAS YOURS!!
  Note: Do not try to play A#5 or B-5, as amiga-audio hardware won't do it
  correctly (freq gets too high!) so do not play filtered noises anymore
  with a#5 (use a-5, please!)
  Built in Allocate Audiochannels at startup/Explicit vbl-startup (prefs)
 
v2.1, 20.10.1997 (The 1st Zivildienst '97/'98 & Oktoberfest'97-Release):
  ProTracker Import built in (just "Load Module")
  Replayer is now 68000er FIXED!!! (yes, MULS.L/DIVS.L CAN be done on 68000
  as people told me, so i finally fixed it :-)
  THX-DeliPlayerII doesn't precalc the filterwaves anymore when playing an
  THXv1.x tune.
  Implemented Patternjump-Forward/-Backwards in replayer (so THX-DeliPlayerII
  is now able to jump forwards/backwards!)
  Fixed Alt/Shift/Ctrl-F3/F4/F5 for Instruments (Cut/Copy/Paste): Refer to
  the .guide help file (now you can seperately cut/copy/paste the instrument
  w/o pList or just the pList... .guide!!!
  Fixed HardCut in Deliplayer (gave an enforcer hit!-reported by Buggs
  of the EaglePlayer developer team)
  Binary-Player didn't switch back to single-speed after 2/3/4x speed thx
  was played.
  Couldn't correctly InitModule twice the same module, as the THX\1 id was
  overwritten...
  pc conversion coming soon!!!! yezzzz, heard right... but THX still mainly
  is AMIGA, WHAT DID U THINK .. eheheh pc suckz boys.:!:.
  fixed a bug in "Save THX-Module" (Track 000 empty recognition checked 1
  step too much e.g. 65 notes instead of 64 notes for track 000!)
  Now switching off rastertime-display when THX screen is in back (THanX to
  Juice/Phase^D for giving me the information on how to do that).
  No more querying bit 6 of $bfe001 in the about window (on request).
  Built in "Optimize..." for optimizing (mainly pt-imported songs). Check
  it out, nuttin' to write about, it'll kick out double tracks and then
  kick out tracks that aren't used.

v2.1n, 29.11.1997 (DeliPlayer Update):
  The Deliplayer is now noteplayered, which means you can now enojy the
  wonderfull (mono-, quadra-)scopes or whatever genies and it can be played
  on soundcards!
  Fixed some (minor) bugs in the replayer and optimized it a bit, also added
  returning of subsongs in thxInitModule and added playing-time support!
  Also some other technical-player-stuff has changed! SO USE THESE BINARIES!
  For news on the replayer read the THX-Replayer.doc CAREFULLY!
  Added the Bang routine, which is simple to play some instrument on any
  voice for fx in your productions (shoot-fxs, whatever)...

v2.3d, 10.04.1998 (Mekka & Symposium Release):
  The so far last version of this great production... now we take on the pc-
  replayer! ... BUT still you may contact us for any reason (ideas, bugs,
  etc.) WE DO NOT SAY THAT >>THX<< IS DEAD!! NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!
  added the E1x/E2x & EAx/EBx cmd. (fine volume/period slide up/down)...
  use the online help for more information. Also been adding the E4x cmd.
  on request (set vibrato depth value (override pList's vibratoDepth).
  Added Pink's external Prefs program (which will be executed if the
  internal one does NOT work (for whatever gadtoolsbox's reasons is).
  Added the long-awaited SCREEN-MODE-REQUESTER .. REALLY!!! Big THanX to
  Rawstyle/Lego my old buddy for giving me the source part, as I'm so outta
  time that I couldn't even code this one by myself :) (screenmode-changes
  will only be visible next time you execute THX (so quit and reload THX!)
  Added the fabulous cursor movements (c-64 style ruuuuulez)!
  New colors by Pink added! If you want your very special version, just
  grab a screenshot, change the colors, email me the IFF and I'll do your
  very own special version!!!
  Still want anything more? WRITE TO ME! >>> Dexter.Abyss@iName.com <<<

v2.3d-sp1, 21.06.1998 (Service Pack 1, Fellow 4 da MS-DOS, Bugfixes):
  Done the MC-68000 Version of the Editor!! finally (on Deadbeat/The Sharks'
  request for all reeeeeeally oldsk00l c64/a500 guys! hope ya also like THX!
  Now there're .ADF/DMS images available for UAE/Fellow so you get THX
  running on yar p133+ (and i think even slower machines maybe)!. It works
  on my p133 with Frameskip 2 or 3 on 16bit mono/stereo (use Mono!) 44.1kHz
  on Fellow... UAE suxx on sound emu on my PC :) (YES, DEXTER ADMITS THAT
  HE OWNS A PC :(.. but only for MP3ing and Arcade-Amulating :) and Fellow!
  So get ya hands on that one!! >>> thx.home.ml.org <<< to get it! Fellow
  preferred for PERFECT and FAST sound/CPU emulation!
  Fixed the CursorMovement bug (didn't save the option and thx prefs dialog
  was obsolete). Fixed the playingTime Counter (I counted in .w instead of .l)
  THanx to Kyzer for reporting this (and other) bugs(s)...
  Added L-Amiga+Return to display the 4 tracks given in the Position-Editor's
  current position!

v2.3d-sp2, 16.10.1998
  Yea! back in biz.. kinda... Fixed the player to play tunes larger ~ 32kB.
  The bug was of course resulting from a .w access, which makes offsets
  greater 32767 negative values, so... now it should work.
  That's it i guess.... WinAMP-THX-Plugin out: http://thx.home.ml.org or
