Short: PlayAY package (mostly useful with DeliTracker 2.14+) Author: rak@ss1000.ms.mff.cuni.cz (Patrik Rak) Uploader: rak@ss1000.ms.mff.cuni.cz (Patrik Rak) Version: 0.16 Type: mus/play Note: Please read PlayAY15.readme first if you are new to PlayAY. What's new ========== This is the new release of PlayAY package. It fully replaces all previous PlayAY releases. There is only one, but pretty important change in the Emul AYPlayer (it concerns only Amstrad CPC tunes, though). I have been told that the CPC tunes sound high-pitched by one octave. I changed the output routine to adjust this automatically if CPC tune is played (it is easily recognized since CPC uses different I/O scheme than ZX). Since I never had (or even seen) a CPC, I didn't thought about the possibility that the AY chip in CPC could use different clock frequency than the one in ZX... Sorry for being so childish... AY Tunes' Rippers ================= In the PlayAY15 docs I have forgotten to mention myself as AY tunes ripper. I thought it was obvious unless someone told me he saw my PlayAY and asked me if I know how to rip AY tunes... So, I have ripped many of the tunes in the aytunes package and I think that I know how to do that :) Thanks ====== Thanks for this release must go to: Alexis Nasr and his friends - for pointing out that CPC Frequency difference... Contact addresses ================= Send all new AY Players, AY tunes, bug reports, questions or suggestions to the following addresses: Internet: prak3264@ss1000.mff.cuni.cz (school) or (in worst case) Patrik Rak Modra 1979/6 150 00 Praha 5 Czech Republic Also, if you think I did good job, you can send me any amount of money you want (actually, you can send them even if you do not think so :-). Or at least send me a mail that you appreciate it. The more people will react, the more work I will put in PlayAY in the future... That's all.
