However parts of the APlayer is copyright by other people (the external players). Whereever possible we have tried to make sure that no parts of the APlayer violates any copyrights. If you think this is not the case, please contact us immediately! If you or your company want to use APlayer on a coverdisk or something like that, we would like to know about it, and get a copy of the product. And since RBF Software wants us to do this, we must write that the OctaMED and MED players are copyrighted by them. @{b}Although this program is SW, you are welcome to send anything, like money, ski masks, postcards, cars, burgers (preferably McChicken!?!), Kinder Mælkesnitte etc.@{ub} @ENDNODE ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- @NODE Shareware @TITLE "Shareware Notice" @{b}@{u}Shareware Payment:@{ub}@{uu} Everything has a price .. even APlayer :) :( Until now APlayer has been a free-to-use program for all of you. But due to the fact that APlayer now requires a lot of work from the programmer, we have decided to make APlayer shareware. If you do not register your copy of APlayer, there will be a few things to annoy you :) The program is still usable, there aren't any F*CK*NG requesters every time you do something. Only a few useful things have been disabled: - No ARexx support - No Rewind/Fast forward - A limited number of modules in the list at a time. If you register, you will also get your name in the about window :) @{b}IMPORTANT:@{ub} If you register, you will only register the MAIN program. All the players and noteplayers are still public domain. We can't make money on other peoples work :) @{b}How To Register:@{ub} @{i}No matter how you register, you will have to fill out the registration form and send it to us together with your registration.@{ui} 1. Cash Registration You can send cash directly to the author in two different currencies: 100 Dkr (Danish Kroner) 25 US Dollars (Due to the exchange price) Send them to: @{b}Thomas Neumann Kongensgade 78 3550 Slangerup Denmark@{ub} 2. Eurocheck If you live in europe you can just use an eurocheck or another type of check which will not cost us anything to cash. The amount is: 100 Dkr (Danish kroner) eq. to 10 UK Pound or 25 DM If your bank won't write the check in Dkr, then you should add 5 pounds (12 DM) extra for the exchange fee. Send them to: See above 3. NET registration (Idea taken from the GoldED package) This is the easiest way to register. You can send an email to the email address below. Then you can deposit the money direct on the author's account (this can be done in any bank). You will then recieve an E-mail with an UUencoded keyfile. Send the letter to: jail@diku.dk and transfer the money (100 Dkr) to this account within two weeks (you will not get the keyfile before we recieve the money): @{b}Thomas Neumann Account number: 5822 0003091623 Unibank Frederiksborgvej 9 3650 Ølstykke Denmark@{ub} @ENDNODE ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- @NODE Requirements @TITLE "Hard'n'soft-ware requirements" @{b}@{u}Hard'n'soft-ware requirements:@{ub}@{uu} You need at least kickstart v2.04 to use this program. Four general libraries are necessary to run the APlayer with all functions. APlayer cannot start without the Reqtools.library (v38+) (included) and any version of the Diskfont.library. But if the commodities.library isn't available, it will just not start as a commodity (this means that you can't use the hotkeys). Amigaguide.library is needed if you want online help for APlayer. If you want the APlayer to unpack your modules, you should use one of the following libraries: Powerpacker.library, Xpkmaster.library or the Unpack.library. All of them are included in this package though. To make use of the ARexx part of APlayer you need the Rexxtools.library which is included in the package. The APlayer has been successfully tested on the following machines: Plain A1200, A1200+4MB fastram, A1200+68030+4MB Fastram, A4000(680EC30)+ 16MB Fastram,A4000(68040)+16MB Fastram and an A4000(68060)+16MB Fastram including tests with Enforcer, Mungwall and IOtorture. @ENDNODE ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- @NODE Introduction @TITLE "Introduction to AccessiblePlayer" @{b}@{u}Introduction:@{ub}@{uu} The AccessiblePlayer is our contribution to the Amiga market of music players. We thought that our favourite player (Smartplay) just wasn't good enough anymore, and since none of the available players (D.A.S. Modplayer, Delitracker, HippoPlayer, BananaPlayer, EagleTracker and so on) fulfilled our needs, we decided to write our own player. We hope we have reached our goal by making a small, fast and userfriendly player, the AccessiblePlayer. @{b}P.S. Some people think that we are the guys behind Smartplay. That is @{i}NOT@{ui} true. We have never been in contact with the maker of Smartplay and we probably never will.@{ub} @ENDNODE ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- @NODE Installation @TITLE "Installing the AccessiblePlayer" @{b}@{u}Installation:@{ub}@{uu} Just use the installer-script included in this package. You can both install AND remove (who would?) the APlayer with that script. @{b}Warning:@{ub} APlayer is pretty complex to install, so if you want to install it by hand, don't blame us if something goes wrong. In other words: @{i}"Don't try this at home"@{ui} @ENDNODE ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- @{ub} @NODE Usage @TITLE "How to use AccessiblePlayer" @{b}@{u}The Accessible Interface:@{ub}@{uu} ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | · | AccessiblePlayer 2.00 @{"(1/1)" LINK tunes} | |---------------------------------------------------------------------- |@{" Cycle gadget " LINK MainCyc}@{" Status bar " LINK Status}@{" S " LINK Sampleinfo}@{" ?

The names of the modules will automatically be added to the end of the modulelist. See also @{"App-Icon" LINK App-icon}. @{b}The Zoom Gadget@{ub} can be used to zip the program window. The main window will be zipped to the titlebar only. Notice that the placement will be saved in the configuration file. @ENDNODE ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- @Node Maincyc @TITLE "Main window cycle" @{u}@{b}Main window cycle:@{ub}@{uu} This cyclegadget is used to select the state of the @{"status-bar" LINK status}. There are five different states of this cycle, which are: @{b} Name : @{ub} This shows the name of the module, which is found IN the module. e.g it is not necessarily the name of the file, so the two names can be different; that is, if the player can't find a name inside the module, the filename will be displayed in the @{"status bar" LINK Status}. @{b} Author : @{ub} The player tries to find the name of the author in the module, and if it succeeds, it will display it in the statusline. See in the section @{"Module types" LINK modtypes} for info on which players support the author name. @{b} Played : @{ub} This shows, if supported (see @{"Module types" LINK modtypes}), the actual position and the total songlength. It also calculates how many % of the module that has been played, and the total listening time. @{b} Type :@{ub} When the module has been tested, the @{"module type" LINK modtypes} is displayed in the status-line. This could be anything from the SID-player to the TFMX 7 channel replayer. @{b} RexxMsg:@{ub} This displays info text made by an @{"Arexx" LINK ARMAINCYCLE} script. @ENDNODE >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> @Node Status @TITLE "Status bar" @{u}@{b}Status Bar:@{ub}@{uu} This line will display some info on the current module. It will display the name, author, playing time, module type and rexx message. See @{"Main window cycle" LINK mainCyc} on how to change the state. @ENDNODE >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> @Node SampleInfo @{u}@{b}Sample info window:@{ub}@{uu} (Shortkey s) Pressing the @{b}S@{ub}-Button will, if samples are supported (see @{"module types" LINK modtypes}) open a new window called the sampleinfo window. The samples are always saved in signed IFF-8SVX format. From left to right it will display the number of the sample, name, size in bytes, type of the sample and whether it's placed in chip- or fast-memory. The sample can be of these different types: XX - it means that it's a sample with the sample bit XX. AM - Synthetic voices (Amplitude Modulation) FM - Precalculated synthetic voices (Frequency Modulation) HB - Sample used as a synthetic voice (HyBrid) AL - AdLib sound used in S3M modules WS - WaveSample. Same as hybrid samples, but these can be played in the sample window. Used in Art of Noise. ?? - Unknown type -- - No sample If the type is typed in @{b}bold@{ub} it means that the sample is unsigned. The sampleinfo window is not only a display/info window, you can actually use it to accompany your favourite modules. You can do it in two ways: @{b}1@{ub}. Pause the module (in the main window) and use your mouse, or the @{"keypad" LINK Keypad}, to select a sample. Then you can use your keyboard (like in Protracker) to play the sample at different notes, ranging from C-1 to B-3. Like in protracker you can use F1 and F2 to change whether the z-key should be a C-1 (default) or a C-2 note. Note that if a sample has the volume set to 0, then it will be played with a value of 64. @{b}2@{ub}. Turn off one of the @{"sound-channels" LINK 1} and, like before, choose a sample with the @{"keypad" LINK Keypad} or with the mouse. Then use the keyboard to accompany the module. @{b}Multichannel Mode:@{ub} Per default APlayer will only play the sample in one channel. But if you press "DEL" (the Delete key) in the sampleinfo window, multichannel mode will be enabled. If you are in pause mode, all the channels which are ON will be used. If you are using the accompany function, the OFF turned channels will be used to play the samples. Please note that the number of channels used is dependant of the used Player. The last function in the sampleinfo window is the little disk-gadget in the upper right corner of the window. Selecting a sample and pressing the disk-gadget will open a requester which will let you save the sample as an 8SVX soundfile with the samplerate 16574 (in pal) or 16726 (in ntsc) which is the C-3 note. Pressing "return" will do the same. If you have the @{"Multi Sample Saver Agent" LINK multi} present in your agent list, it will pop up to give you much more options on how to save the sample Instead of using the keypad or the mouse, you can use the @{"keyboard" LINK listview}. If you want to stop the playing sample NOW! then you can hit the "<" which is placed on the right side of the left shift key. @{b}NOTE: Not all players support the sample info window, and therefore not the sample-save and accompany functions. (see @{"Module types" LINK modtypes} for more info)@{ub} @ENDNODE >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> @Node Keypad @{u}@{b}Numeric Keypad:@{ub}@{uu} This works exactly like in @{"QuadraComposer" LINK Thanks}. Sample 1-16 is chosen from the upper left corner on the numpad to the lower right corner, which is the Enter-key. @{b}"0"@{ub} is used to jump forward 16 samples, and @{b}"."@{ub} to go back to the previous 16 samples. Note that pressing a keypad key, will trigger the sample at the note C-3. And that is not changeable yet, sorry! Note that if a sample has the volume set to 0, then it will be played with a value of 64. @ENDNODE >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> @Node About @{u}@{b}About Window:@{ub}@{uu} (Shortkey ?) This will open a window containing some info on the current module: @{b}Module name :@{ub} The name of the module. @{b}Author :@{ub} The author of the module. @{b}Active Player :@{ub} The Player-library which is used now. @{b}Active NotePlayer :@{ub} The actual NotePlayer. @{b}Number of tunes :@{ub} Number of @{"tunes" LINK tunes} in the module. @{b}Song Length :@{ub} How long is this module, songpositions. @{b}Used Patterns :@{ub} How many different patterns are used. @{b}Supported/Used samples:@{ub} The number of used or supported samples e.g. a Protracker module will always use 31 samples, while a QComposer uses a various number of samples. @{b}Used Channels :@{ub} The number of channels in the actual module. @{b}Used Mixing rate :@{ub} This will, if a NotePlayer is mixing, display the actual mixing rate. @{b}Actual Speed :@{ub} This is only useful for players supporting cia-speed commands (like Protracker). @{b}Module Size :@{ub} The size of the unpacked module. @{b}NOTE: A lot of the above-mentioned parameters is not supported by all the players. See @{"module types" LINK modtypes} for info on which players supporting what, or try it out for yourself.@{ub} The "next"-gadget will show you the version number, the arexx-port name and the creditlist for the AccessiblePlayer. You can use the "cancel"-gadget or to go back to the main window again. @ENDNODE >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> @Node tunes @{u}@{b}Tunes:@{ub}@{uu} A module normally consists of 1 tune only, but players like SID and TFMX supports more tunes in one module. You can choose between the different tunes using the keys 1-9 and 0 for 10. Of course, you can also use the numeric keyboard. If there are more than 10 tunes, you may use "+" and "-" to skip to the next 10 tunes or to go back to the previous 10 tunes. The only place where you can't do it is in the sample info window. The "(x/y)" in the title bar shows "current tune/total number of tunes". If you zip the window, this will instead show the position/length. @ENDNODE >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> @Node Volreset @TITLE "Volume Reset" @{u}@{b}Volume Reset:@{ub}@{uu} Pressing this gadget will reset the volume to the default volume, saved in your config-file (see @{"configuration" LINK cfg}).

Remember that the actual volume is saved with your configuration file! You can also use @{"keyboard" LINK keyboard}. See also @{"Volume reset" LINK volreset} and @{"Configuration" LINK cfg} @{b}NOTE: Nearly all moduleplayers support this, but a few don't. See in the @{"Module types" LINK modtypes} section for more info.@{ub} @ENDNODE >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> @Node MainListview @TITLE "Main window list" @{u}@{b}Main window module list:@{uu}@{ub} This displays all the modules currently in the @{"module list" LINK modlist}. If you choose a module it will be highlighted. That is, the playing module is always the one which is highlighted. @ENDNODE >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> @Node Scroll @TITLE "Modulelist Scroller" @{u}@{b}Modulelist Scroller:@{ub}@{uu} Use this scrollbar to scroll through the @{"list of modules" LINK mainlistview}. @ENDNODE >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> @Node Sreset @TITLE "Speed Reset" @{u}@{b}Speed Reset:@{ub}@{uu} Pressing this gadget will reset the speed to the default value, saved in your config-file.

(See @{"Module types" LINK modtypes})@{ub} See also @{"Speed reset" LINK Sreset}. @ENDNODE >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> @Node 1 @TITLE "Sound Channels" @{u}@{b}Sound Channels:@{ub}@{uu} These 4 buttons are used to turn the amiga sound channels on or off. This is used when you want to accompany the module. (See the @{"Sampleinfo window" LINK sampleinfo}). Please notice that these buttons indicate the hardware audio channels, which means that if a noteplayer is playing, pressing the channel 1 button can turn of upto 8 channels. Ofcourse they can be used for fun too! You can also use @{"keyboard" LINK keyboard} to control this feature. @{b}NOTE: It's not all moduletypes which supports turning off channels e.g. the 7 channel TFMX-player. See the @{"Module type section" LINK modtypes}.@{ub} @ENDNODE >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> @Node Loop @TITLE "Loop Active Module" @{u}@{b}Module Loop:@{ub}@{uu} This gadget can toggle between positions: - No looping, which will automatically skip to the next module, when a module is finished. - Looping, which will make the actual module start over again when it's finished. You can also use @{"keyboard" LINK keyboard} to control this feature. @{b}NOTE: This function is only supported by some moduletypes.

If you want to open the Player again you just double-click the app-icon. Or you can use the popup-hotkey specified in the @{"configuration-window" LINK cfg}. @ENDNODE >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> @Node App-icon @TITLE "App-Icon" @{u}@{b}AccessiblePlayer App-icon:@{ub}@{uu} When the APlayer is iconified you can drop module-icons on the app-icon. This is done by opening the drawer in which you are keeping your modules, select one (or more, using shift), then move the pointer over the APlayer app-icon and release the mousebutton. The modules will automatically be appended to your actual modulelist, and if it's empty, the player will play the first of the dropped modules. @ENDNODE --------------------------------------------------------------------------- >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- @Node ML @TITLE "Module list Editor" @{u}@{b}Module list Editor:@{uu}@{ub} (Shortkey m) This editor is used to create/change/load and save @{"modulelists" LINK modlist}. @{b}Add:@{ub} Opens a filerequester from which you can choose the modules you want to add to the module list.

Default is "ctrl alt a". @{b}CX_PRIORITY (PRI):@{ub} The APlayer task priority. Default is 0. @{b}MODULE:@{ub} This argument is CLI ONLY! Just type the name (with path) of the module(s) and it will be placed in the modulelist. APlayer will not start to play the first module, unless you also use the JUMP argument! @{i}The modules will be added to the list.@{ui} @{b}MODULELIST (ML):@{ub} The name of a modulelist file you want APlayer to use. For instance S:example.APML. The modules in the modulelist will be placed before any modules specified on the Command line. @{i}The modules in the modulelist will be added to the list.@{ui} @{b}CONFIGFILE (CFG):@{ub} Specifies the config file you want to use. Default is ENV:APlayer/APlayer.prefs @{b}PUBSCREEN (PS):@{ub} The public screen on which you want APlayer to open. Remember that the name is case SenSitiVe. Default is the default public screen, e.g. Workbench. @{i}APlayer will close all the APlayer windows and reopen them on the specified public screen.@{ui} @{b}LOOP:@{ub} Specifies the state of the loop gadget in the main window (ON/OFF) or toggles the state (as set in your configuration) (TOGGLE). @{i}Same effect.@{ui} @{b}INFOOPEN (IO):@{ub} This will force the info window to open at start. @{i}Same effect.@{ui} @{b}MODULELISTOPEN (MO):@{ub} If you want the module list window to open at startup, use this argument. @{i}Same effect.@{ui} @{b}FSSOPEN (FO):@{ub} Use this argument if you want the FSS window to be opened at startup. @{i}Same effect.@{ui} @{b}SHUFFLE (SH):@{ub} If you use this argument, all the modules (or the modules in the specified modulelist) will be shuffled. Just like if you press the shuffle gadget in the main window. @{i}This will shuffle all modules in the modulelist, including any just added modules.@{ui} @{b}PATH (P):@{ub} This option takes one argument, which is a path. The path will be scanned for modules, just like the @{"Start Scan Path" LINK cfgpaths} option. This can be used in conjunction with the UNIQUE argument to add files from a dir, which is constantly updated. @{b}UNIQUE (U):@{ub} This will avoid any modules to be represented more than once in the modulelist. This works both with modules, the "Path" argument and lha files. @{b}NOTE:@{ub} If you specify any modules, a modulelist, or use the PATH argument, your @{"scandir" LINK cfgpaths} will be ignored. These parameters/tooltypes can @{b}ONLY@{ub} be used when APlayer is already running: @{b}JUMP (J):@{ub} This will automatically jump to the first module just added, independent of your @{"config setting" LINK jumptoaddedmodule}. @{b}NOTE@{ub} : If you add modules via the CLI, APlayer will not automatically play them @{b}unless@{ub} you use the JUMP argument. @{b}QUIT (Q):@{ub} This will quit the player, WITHOUT executing the arexx macro defined in your @{"settings" LINK cfgarexx}. @ENDNODE ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- @NODE Thanks @TITLE "The people and organizations we wish to thank" @{u}@{b}Thanks to:@{uu}@{ub} @{i}Nico François@{ui} for the fabulous Reqtools library and the powerpacker library. + Magnus Holmgren for continuing the development of reqtools. @{i}Urban Dominik Mueller@{ui} & @{i}Bryan Ford@{ui} for the even more fabulous Xpk master library. @{i}Jarno Paananen@{ui} for the source to his great PS3M, which made us able to support S3M, Fasttracker][ :) and many other formats ... @{i}Hans Henrik Happe@{ui} for the cool bar scope agent! @{i}John Hendrikx@{ui} for the SQSH library @{i}Jorma Oksanen@{ui} for the SMPL library @{i}Bo Lincoln@{ui} for the real Quadracomposer player (including the cia and all commands) @{i}Deftronic@{ui} for Trash'm-One (We hate the enforcer hits!!) @{i}Michael Sinz@{ui} for Enforcer @{i}Commodore@{ui} for Mungwall and Segtracker @{i}Marley/Infect@{ui} for a lot of different moduletypes. @{i}Lance Norskog@{ui} for Sox All the @{i}authors@{ui} of the different players All our @{i}betatesters@{ui} @{i}Peter Hjelt@{ui} for the Smartplay which has been a big inspiration source for the Accessible Player design. @{i}KiLLraVeN/MYSTiC@{ui} Thanks to you for the bugreports.

Fixed a bug in the tune selector. You could only select 10 tunes, even if there were more. - Fixed a bug in the Protracker player. It made a noisy sound if you played an empty sample with the volume command. - A little bug fixed in the double buffering loader. If the loader has loaded the next module into the memory and you then delete it from the list before it will start, the player will play it anyway. Now it will load the next module instead. - If you press the 's' key in the main window, the sample info window will always open, even if the gadget was ghosted. This is fixed now. @ENDNODE ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- @NODE h102 @TITLE "The History for Version 1.02" 1.02 (Not released) ------------------- - The global APG_WaitDMA routine is changed, so it will use EClocks instead of raster lines.

It crashes the second time a module was started. - Now you can use the cursor keys and the return key in the Sample Info, Module Editor, FSS and Players window. - Players config files are moved to a subdirectory. - You can now use a lots of keys to control the main window gadgets (hotkeys). - Added the Hippel, Hippel-COSO and the PumaTracker player. - Added the IFF-AIFF player, and I hate IEEE numbers :^(. - Changed the RIFF-WAVE player, so it also support 16-bits samples. - You can now delete modules from your FSS list now!!! It was like hell to make a delete function in a binary tree. - The title in the main window are now font sentitive :) - The about window are made to a separate window, just like all the others. That means it will be updated every time a new module is loaded. - HolyNoise player changed to MajorTom player. @ENDNODE ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- @NODE h120 @TITLE "The History for Version 1.20" 1.20 (Released 15-Mar-1995) --------------------------- - Optimized the keypad playing. Now will APlayer first start to play the sampling and then update the sample window. - You can now use the keypad to select a sample when you play a module. - Fixed a little bug in all the double click routines. - Fixed a bug in the JamCracker player. If you played on the keyboard, the sample sounded strange. - Fixed a bug in the loader routine. - Changed the about window, so now you can switch between the two "windows". It will also be updated every time a module changes CIA tempo. - Now you can encrypt your modules with xpk. APlayer will ask for the password. It will also unpack recursively. That means you can pack more than one time. You can use this, if you want to pack your modules with SQSH and then encrypt them. - Fixed a bug in the players own config. Didn't put the window to front if it was already open. - Added volume and channel control and removed an enforcer hit in the Fred player. - Added channel control and song-end to the Music-Assembler player and fixed a bug in the player (not my fault!), so now it also works on an A4000. - The Hippel player is totally rewritten.

Some feeds the hardware directly, some passes the data to a noteplayer. When a player is selected (and if it uses a noteplayer), you can press the "?" button in the top right of the window. This will open a window with a list containing all the NotePlayers which can be used by the player. Hereby you can select the NotePlayer you prefer should be used with the player. If, for some reason, the NotePlayer isn't available when the player tries to use it, it will scan through the NotePlayers until it finds a usable one. @{"NotePlayers" LINK NotePlayers} The noteplayer recieves the sound data from the player and makes your computer play the sound. Some of the noteplayers has the ability to mix several channels into the four audio channels of the amiga. @{"Agents" LINK Agents} Agents are programs which can be initiated when the user performs a certain action. You can cycle trough the items with the keys < and >. Some (Note)Players are built into the main program while the rest of them are stored as files in "LIBS:APlayer" or "LIBS:APlayer/NotePlayers". When APlayer has loaded a file, it has to check which type of module it is. With this window you can decide which (Note)Players that should be used, and in which order they should be used (prioritized list). When a (Note)Player is chosen, the version number is displayed in a little box in the top left of the right part of the window. @ENDNODE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- @NODE players @TITLE "Players" @{b}@{u}Players:@{ub}@{uu} @{b}ActionAmics:@{ub} This player is used in the game "DynaBlaster", so you can play the music from this game and rip the samples if you like. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- @{b}Activision Pro:@{ub} This player is the same as Martin Walker player. You can get some modules from old Activision games. There can be some trouble on faster machines, because the player makes CPU loops. The player is inside the module, so there isn't much to do about it. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- @{b}ArtOfNoise:@{ub} This player can play both 4 and 8 channels modules. It have some great effect. It uses noteplayer to play the modules. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- @{b}DeliCustom:@{ub} Yes, that's right. Now is APlayer able to play Delitrackers custom modules. Currently there is not support of all Delitrackers global functions or tags, only a few. The modules I have, work just fine, but if you have a module that doesn't work, please send it to me. You can not pack these modules, because the player has to load them as object files. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- @{b}Delta20:@{ub} Player is inside the module. It have some nice sound effect. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- @{b}DigitalMugician:@{ub} Nice player with some cool sound effects. The program is not the most system friendly I have seen. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- @{b}DSS:@{ub} When you buy the DSS sampler, you will get a music and sampler program. The music program will save modules in this format, so with this player you are able to play these type of modules. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- @{b}FastTracker:@{ub} I don't know much about this player. It's a 6 and 8 channels ProTracker player. It can do the same as the ProTracker player, which means that it has the same commands etc. This player uses a NotePlayer. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- @{b}FastTracker20:@{ub} This player can play the new format on the PC, the *.XM modules. The original music program on the PC is made by Triton. This player is coded by Jarno Paananen and it uses a NotePlayer. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- @{b}Fred:@{ub} There is a lot of some nice fred tunes on aminet, some of them by Jogeir. There is a player inside the modules, but I have ripped one of them and added some features. It will ofcourse use the player inside the module if it's not the same as the one I know. Currently I support 2 different players, which only differs slightly. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- @{b}FTM:@{ub} This is a 8 voices player with one of the best mixing routine ever heard on the Amiga. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- @{b}Future13:@{ub} This is probably the most used type of modules in intros, because of the short module size. It uses a noteplayer. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- @{b}Future14:@{ub} This is the newer version of Future Composer. It can now handle different wavetables. It uses a noteplayer. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- @{b}Hippel:@{ub} Argghh, this is one of the hard ones. There is a player inside each module, but they are all different. If you get a Hippel module this player can't recognize please mail it to us if you want APlayer to be able to play it in the future.. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- @{b}Hippel-COSO:@{ub} This is Hippel modules without a player inside the module. It will try to load an extra sample file if needed, but this hasn't been tested, because we don't have any of these modules. If you have one, please send it to us. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- @{b}IFF-8SVX:@{ub} This player can play the IFF-8SVX sample format. It is the most used format on the Amiga. It can play any size of samples by loading a little bit at the time. This means it uses low memory while running. It can also handle stereo samples and IFF-crunched (Fibonnaci) samples, in both mono and stereo. It uses a noteplayer. See how to @{"configure" LINK iffcfg} this player. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- @{b}IFF-AIFF:@{ub} This format is used on the Macintosh. This player can play both 8 and 16 bit samples in both mono and stereo. 16 bit samples will be converted to 8 bit realtime while playing. It uses a noteplayer. See how to @{"configure" LINK aiffcfg} this player. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- @{b}IFF-SMUS:@{ub} This is a very old music format. The format is designed to use with midi. This player will only play upto the 4 first priority voices.

Anybody have it? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- @{b}MarkCooksey:@{ub} Nothing to say about this player. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- @{b}MarkII:@{ub} Nothing to say about this player, except that the main replay routine is placed in each module. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- @{b}MED:@{ub} This player has one of the biggest sources I have ever seen (about 80Kb). This player will play 4 voices MED modules and can handle MMD0, MMD1 and MMD2 module types. Please note that if you want to play MED modules containing synth samples, do NOT use the fastmem noteplayer, since it will skip all synth sounds. Use instead the paula noteplayer. This Player uses a Noteplayer. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- @{b}MON:@{ub} Maniacs of Noise have created this player. The player is inside the modules. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- @{b}MusicAss:@{ub} This format has very short modules with the player inside the modules. I have ripped the player and fixed a volume bug so they will now work on A4000. It will of course only use the player inside the module if it is not the same as the ripped one. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- @{b}MultiTracker:@{ub} This tracker is a 1-32 channels ProTracker player. The file format is not the same as in normal mod files. This player uses a NotePlayer. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- @{b}NoisePacker20:@{ub} This format is a packed NoiseTracker format written by Twins of Phenomena. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- @{b}NoisePacker30:@{ub} Is a newer version of the NoiseTracker packer. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- @{b}NoiseTracker:@{ub} Before ProTracker this format was the most used. I use the same player as in the ProTracker player, but it can't change the CIA tempo and it doesn't have any E commands except for the filter command.

It now uses a NotePlayer to mix the channels. This player uses a Noteplayer. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- @{b}ProTracker:@{ub} This format is probably the most known format ever on the Amiga. I use the ProTracker version 1.1b player written by Lars "Zap" Hamre/Amiga Freelancers. I have fixed a lot of bugs (see the history :) and I have also optimized it so it won't use so much CPU time as the original player does. The main optimizing is that I've changed all the patterns note periods to index numbers in the period tables. This removed the routine which searched for the period in the period tables to get the index in the finetunes period tables. This player uses a NotePlayer to play the notes. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- @{b}PumaTracker:@{ub} I don't know anything about this player. I only have a few modules of this type. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- @{b}QuadraComposer:@{ub} Got the player from the author, Bo Lincoln.

See how to @{"configure" LINK riffcfg} this player. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- @{b}RonKlaren:@{ub} This player will play EaglePlayer Ron Klaren modules. This is the only type of module which cannot be crunched because the files are loaded as object files. There can be some problems on A4000. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- @{b}ScreamTracker30:@{ub} This module format is probably one of the most used on the PC. This player will play that format. Jarno Paananen has coded the original player. I have modified it a little bit, so it won't try to play adlib samples There will be silence instead of some crap sound. It also uses a noteplayer. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- @{b}SID:@{ub} This play has to use the playsid.library to run. It can play all kinds of C64 songs by emulating the CPU and SID in the C64. See how to @{"configure" LINK sidcfg} this player. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- @{b}SidMon10:@{ub} Player is inside the module. I have ripped the player and added a few features.

The players are different from each other, so you can get some problems. @ENDNODE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- @NODE NotePlayers @TITLE "NotePlayers" @{b}@{u}NotePlayers:@{uu}@{ub} @{b}14BitStereo-32Voices:@{ub} Can mix upto 32 voices, into the four amiga sound channels. The samples can be 8 bit and placed in both chip- and fast-mem. The mixing routine is 16 bit. If the mixing routine runs out of cpu time, the sample rate is lowered. The main routine is based on Jarno Paananens routines, with some fixes and additions by me. See the @{"32 Voices configuration" LINK 32config} for more info. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- @{b}14BitStereo-2Voices:@{ub} This Noteplayer can mix upto 2 channels in 14bit stereo, and it is therefore very handy to use to play samples e.g. IFF-8SVX.

The default is 512, which suits most configurations, but if it gives you trouble, you can try to change it. But remember that a smaller buffer makes the processor work harder, because it has to copy the sampledata much more often than with a bigger buffer. But still, a big buffer can give some troubles, so try it out for yourself. @ENDNODE --------------------------------------------------------------------------- @NODE 32config @TITLE 32 Voices Configuration @{u}@{b}32 Voices Configuration:@{uu}@{ub} First of all you have to choose which mixing routine you want to use. This can either be the 68000/68010 or 68020+. The 68020+ mixer is ofcourse optimized for higher processors. This configuration is used to set the mixing rate relative to the number of channels used in a module. This means that the higher mixing rate, the better sound. But remember that high mixing rates demands more cpu power. As soon as you press return, after you have typed a new mixing rate, the new mixing rate is used. This is ofcourse only if you have changed the mixing rate for the current number of used channels. You can also set the volume boost for every number of channels. If you are listening to modules that uses a lot of channels, you can take advantage of volume boost. This is because if a lot of channels has to be mixed, the volume will be lowered, and therefore it needs to be boosted. The boost value will only take effect when a new module is played. If you don't know which values to type in, you can get APlayer to choose the values best suited for your system. This can be done by pressing the autoadjust button. It CAN'T be done if APlayer is playing a module, or the audio channels is allocated by another program. First, you are asked if you want to check all the channels. If you answer NO, only the 31-32 channel mode is tested, and the result is used in all other channels mode, else every channel mode is tested. Then you can decide the maximum mixing rate to be used. This can be a number between 4000 and 56000. The higher the mixing rate, the better the sound quality. The last two requesters will let you decide wether you want to adjust the found mixing rate a bit down (0-100 percent), which will leave more cpu power to the rest of the system. After this the test is performed. To optimize the results, do NOT touch your computer while the test is in progress. You can adjust the volume in the main window, if you don't want to hear the tones while the test is running. @{b}Please note that the numbers found in the test may not be the optimal setting, but should give you a hint on how the setting should be.@{ub} Click @{"here" LINK prefsmenu} to see how to use the menus in this window. @ENDNODE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- @NODE 2config @TITLE "14 Bit Stereo 2Voices configuration" @{b}@{u}14 Bit Stereo 2Voices configuration:@{uu}@{ub} Here you can set the size of the "Chip Memory Buffer" which is the amount of CHIP memory used for every channel while playing from fastmemory. The default is 512, which suits most configurations, but if it gives you trouble, you can try to change it. The "Maximum Sample Rate" will cause every sample with a higher frequency than the specified, to be downsampled to that frequency. Normally the amiga hardware will not allow you to play samples with a higher frequency than 28867 Hz. Therefore you can use this noteplayer to play samples with frequencies above this, with the right speed. @ENDNODE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- @NODE Agents @TITLE "Agents" @{u}@{b}Agent Types:@{uu}@{ub} @{b}SampleSavers:@{ub} ------------- The sample saver agent will be started when the user presses the save sample gadget in the sample info window.

It supports 8 bit quality, mono/stereo and fibonacci packing. Fibonacci packing will halve the size of the sample with nearly no quality loss :) In the configuration you can specify the internal name of the sample and the author name, and whether you want the sample packed with fibonacci or not. If the sample is in stereo you have the possibility to save it as either a mono or a stereo sampling. If you choose mono, the channels are mixed in 16 bit quality and then saved as an 8 bit mono sampling. @{b}IFF-AIFF@{ub} : This format originates from the Macintosh. It is mostly used on the Macintosh, but it's also used by other platforms. This converter supports conversion of 8 and 16 bit AIFF samples, mono or stereo. To see which conversions between stereo and mono that are possible see above in the IFF-8SVX description. 16 bit samples can be saved in 8 or 16 bit. 8 bit samples can only be converted in 8 bit. Like in the IFF-8SVX you can also specify an internal name and author for the sample. @{b}RAW :@{ub} This is all files not covered by the above sample formats. It can be anything from an executeable to a device handler. This is useful if you have some files which you KNOW are samples but they haven't got any header. In the config you can tell APlayer exactly how the sample is, and with this informations APlayer will create a header for the file. The things that you have to tell APlayer is: Quality : 8 or 16 bit Endian : Big (highbyte first),Little (lowbyte first) This is pretty technical, only change it if nothing else works. Type : Signed or unsigned Channels : Mono or stereo Frequency : The samplerate (5000 - 28000). @ENDNODE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- @NODE Multi @TITLE "SampleSaver - Multi" @{b}@{u}Multi SampleSaver:@{ub}@{uu} This agent can save and convert samples between different @{"sample formats" LINK multimods}.

Select the Multi agent and press the "show" gadget. Then you have the possibility to select which format of the sample you want to convert. If you select automatic, then the agent will find the sample type automatically. Now you have to select the format to which the sample is converted. To convert the sample, press "Convert". Choose the sample to be converted from the filerequester. A window will then popup with some info about the sample: Format : The format of the sample (e.g. IFF-8SVX or IFF-AIFF) Name : The internal sample name Author : The author of the sample length : The length of the sample without any headers Loop : Is there a loop in this sample? Rate : The samplerate in samples/second Channels : The number of channels used in the sampling Quality : The quality of the sample (e.g. 8 or 16 bit) Type : Signed, unsigned, fibonacci (delta encoded), ulaw or alaw Endian : Big (highbyte first), Little (lowbyte first) Press "Okay" and write the filename of the sample you want to save. If the saver has some settings for you to change, a window will pop up now. To start the conversion just close the window. @{i}How to Save a sample:@{ui} While you are playing a module you select a sample from the sample info window. Press the save gadget in the top right corner to start the multi sample saver agent. A filerequester will popup asking you for the name you want to save the sample under. Write the name and press return. Then you can select which format you want to save the sample as. If the saver has some configurations for you to change, a window will popup when you press @{b}save@{ub}. If not, the sample will just be saved. @ENDNODE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- @NODE MultiSampleSaverConfig @TITLE "Multi SampleSaver Configuration" @{b}@{u}Multi SampleSaver Configuration:@{uu}@{ub} Load Path: This is the default directory where you keep your samples.

The square will flash in time to the first three tracks of the module being played. Any additional tracks will have no effect on the RGB-box. The colors are chosen so that the first track controls the red color value, the second track the green color value, and the third the blue value. Each note in a given track retrigs the corresponding color value. The higher the volume, the brighter the color. @ENDNODE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- @NODE SpinSquares @TITLE "The Spinning Squares Scope Agent" This agent consists of a window divided into four squares, each containing its own vector-box. The box will expand and contract in correspondence to the notes being played in the track it represents. Factors in deciding the changes are volume and pitch. Configuration of this agent : Rotation : Controls whether the vector-boxes should rotate or not. Double Height: Doubles the height of the scopes. This is useful if you are running APlayer on a 1x1 resolution screen. GfxCard Safety : When ON, disables multitasking during the drawing routines to avoid the flickers that may appear if you are using a Graphics Board that uses the processor in stead of the blitter. @ENDNODE ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- @NODE barscope @TITLE "The Bar Scope Agent" Look at it and see if you can figure out how it works :) A lot of greetings to Hans Henrik Happe for coding this really wonderful resizeable scope. @ENDNODE ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- @Node Fss @TITLE "Favourite Song System" @{u}@{b}Favourite Song System:@{uu}@{ub} (Shortkey f) The Favourite Song System (FSS) is for you who can't remember which modules you like to hear. Okay, that was a bit of a joke! If you add this agent to your agent list, it will automatically store the names of all the modules your have heard during your last run of the APlayer. In addition to that it remembers how many times you have heard the same module. All the names are put into a list, from which the FSS-Agent takes a user specified number of played modules and put them into the "Favorite Song System" window. This window displays the top list placements and how many times each module has been played. To control the behaviour of the agent see the @"FSS-Agent configuration" LINK FSS-config}. When you choose to SHOW the FSS window you will be presented with a window containing a list and some buttons. The list contains the names of the modules and how a number stating how many times each module has been played. If you doubleclick an item in the list it will be added to the bottom of the module list @{b}RND One:@{ub} This will randomly choose a module from the list and add it to the bottom of the module list. @{b}RND All:@{ub} Shuffles all the Top-10 modules and put them in the module list. @{b}Delete:@{ub} Deletes the marked module from the fss list. The changes will be saved to your fss file the next time you either quit the player or open the fss window. @{b}Reset:@{ub} Asks if you wants to clear the FSS list from the memory and delete the FSS file on your disk too. @ENDNODE >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> @NODE FSS-Config @TITLE "Favourite Song System Configuration" @{b}Favourite Song System Configuration:@{ub} The following options for the FSS Agent can be controlled by you: Save FSS List: Here you decides when and how often the FSS list should be saved to a file. None of the possibilities exclude the others, so you can choose to save when the FSS (Show) window opens (default), when it closes and additionally you can choose to save the list every x'th minute. The default is every 15th minute. With the cycle you decides how many, and which, modules you want the list to show to the user. It can be the top 10 (default), top 50, top 100 or top xxx where you type the xxx value to the right of the cycle. Alternatively you can show the worst 10 or worst xxx modules in the list. The FSS Path tells the FSS Agent where to save the FSS list file. @{b}Optimize Tree:@{ub} This will simply optimize the FSS tree and lists. The optimizer will ask you for a min hear number which will cause the optimizer to wipe all modules heard less than the specified number of times, from the list. For a more technical description of this click here .. no @{"here" LINK OptimizeFSS} :) @{b}Convert to APML File:@{ub} This converts your FSS (Favourite Song System) file to an APML (APlayer Module List) file. A file requester will pop up to ask you on where to save the APML file. To save, use or cancel the FSS configuration use the corresponding buttons at the bottom of the window. @ENDNODE >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> @NODE OptimizeFSS @{b}Optimize FSS List:@{ub} As you maybe have guessed, the FSS will store all the modules you have heard as a binary tree. This is because it's the fastest way to search for a file to see if it already exist when you load a new module. If you know a little bit about binary trees, you will properly know that the tree will get unbalanced after a while. The term unbalanced is further described in the figures below: 8 / \ 3 9 / \ 2 4 \ 5 Fig1: Unbalanced Tree 5 / \ 3 8 / \ \ 2 4 9 Fig2: The same tree, but balanced A tree can be divided into two subtrees, from the root. The trees are split in layers, for instance the unbalanced tree in fig.1 has got 4 layers, while fig.2 has got 3 layers. If a tree is unbalanced it's because the difference between the number of layers in the two main subtrees is bigger than one. If the tree isn't balanced, it will decrease the search time. Let's take an example: if you will insert the number 7 in figure 1, you have to test 4 other nodes (8, 3, 4 & 5) to know where to place it, but in figure 2 you only need 2 tests (5 & 8). Now you can see, the search time has been halfed. This is what this function does, it balances the binary tree (from now on named AVL-trees). It will test if the modules are still present on your HD and if they aren't they will be deleted from the tree. If you have some modules on floppy disk the optimizer asks for the disk. To delete the module from the tree just cancel the disk requesters. @ENDNODE >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> @Node Modtypes @Title "Module Types" |F | |o | |r | |c | |M |S |P | |e | |a |h |l | | | |M | |x |o |a | |F | |O |N | |o | * | |w |y |A |i | |w |o | +- |C |d | |S | |P |P | | |c |l | |n |t | +- |F | |h |u | |u | |o |a |S |S |c |t |F | |e | +- |R |o | |V | |a |l |A |b |L |s |t |a |a |o |e |a |C |P | +- Func. |e |r |P |o | |T |n |e |u |s |e |i |t |m |m |m |r |s |o |l | +- |w |w |a |l |F |e |n |n |t |o |n |t |e |p |p |p | |t |n |a | +- |i |a |u |u |a |m |e |a |h |n |g |i |r |l |l |a |O |m |f |y | Players: +- |n |r |s |m |d |p |l |m |o |g |t |o |n |e |e |n |f |e |i |e | +-|d |d |e |e |e |o |s |e |r |s |h |n |s |s |s |y |f |m |g |r | ----------------+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+ ActionAmics |X |X |X |X | |X |X | |X |X |X |X | |X |X |X |X | | | | ActivisionPro | | |X | | |X | | | |X | | | | | | |X | | | | ArtOfNoise |X |X |X |X |X |X |X |X |X | |X |X |X |X |X |X |X |X | |X | DeliCustom | | |X | | |X | | | |X | | | | | | |X | | | | Delta20 | | |X |X | |X | | | | | | | | | | |X | | | | DigitalMugician |X |X |X |X |X |X | |X | |X |X |X |X | | | |X | | | | DSS |X |X |X |X |X |X |X | |X | |X |X |X |X |X | |X | | | | FastTracker |X |X |X |X |X |X |X |X |X | |X |X |X |X |X |X |X |X | |X | FastTracker20 |X |X |X |X |X |X |X |X |X | |X |X |X |X |X |X |X |X | |X | Fred | | |X |X | |X |X | | |X | | | | | | |X | | | | FTM | | |X |X | | | |X |X | |X |X | | | | | |X | | | Future13 |X |X |X |X | |X |X | | | |X |X | | | | |X |X | |X | Future14 |X |X |X |X | |X |X | |X | |X |X | |X |X |X |X |X | |X | Hippel | | |X | | |X | | |X |X | | | | | | |X | | | | Hippel-COSO | | |X |X | |X | | |X |X |X |X | | | | |X | | | | IFF-8SVX | |X |X |X | |X |X |X |X | |X |X | | | | | |X |@{"X" link iffcfg}|X | IFF-AIFF | | | |X | |X | |X |X | |X |X | | | | |X | |@{"X" link aiffcfg}|X | IFF-SMUS | | |X |X | |X |X |X |X | | | | | | | |X | |@{"X" link smuscfg}| | InStereo!
