Short: HQ-DeliGenie: AHI, DSP, Filters, Panning/3D, 7 mixing modes Author: hodges@in.tum.de (Chris Hodges) Uploader: hodges@in.tum.de (Chris Hodges) Version: V4.20 (05-Dec-99) Type: mus/play Requires: DeliTracker V2.xx Replaces: mus/play/Deli14BitGenie* 14Bit NotePlayer Genie V4.20 (05-Dec-99) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is a new and pretty enhanced version of the well known 14Bit NotePlayer that came with the original DeliTracker distribution. After Peter Kunath gave me the sourcecode, I was able to add various features (listed below). **** THIS ARCHIVE ALSO CONTAINS THE LATEST MOST IMPORTANT DELIPLAYERS! **** Please notice that you need at least an MC68020 to use them as the MC68000 routines have been removed! Even if you don't use the new features, I recommend to use this version for it has a faster chipmem transfer routine than the one in V2.3. Plenty of cpu power is appreciated (although the Genie will not be any slower when not using the new features). You will need an MC68060 to be able to mix at frequencies higher than 50KHz with Panning and Interpolation and 32 voices 8-D Short list of new features/improvements: - Font sensitive GUI with two different layouts. - AHI support! Deli14Bit can redirect its output to any AHI compatible sound card for TRUE 16 Bit output! - Panning support (e.g. for FastTracker modules). - Stereo width slider (so this incorporates the HeadPhones Genie). - Various Interpolation modes for high quality mixing (including a table- interpolation routine for MC68020/MC68030 machines). - Two Oversampling modes. - DSP Routines: Echo (Reverb), Hall (Reverb with feedback) and Reverser (each one is available as Mono, Cross or Center mode). - All mixing routines have conditional code for quiet mixing, the panning ones also use optimized routines for mono and 100% left/right code. - 3D Panning mode - ideal for headphones or CD recording. - Inverted Stereo Mode for fake surround effect. - Anti-Click Mode (removes annoying sample-triggering clicks). - Treble and Bass filters with adjustable pass frequencies. - Seperate Treble and Bass filters for the DSP. - Frequency can be shifted (half frequency up to double frequency). - Complex ModSave function (16 Bit AIFF or RAW file): - Start of saving can be triggered, slience at the end can be cut off. - Resulting wave can be normalized to full volume. - Half/Quarter DMA mode records at half/quarter speed for slow machines or people with PAL 28KHz limit. - Stop-Motion and Mute modes for slow drives/machines. - Peak and Optimal Boost display. - Actual (DMA) mixing frequency is now displayed. - Uses a 256 samples buffer instead of 200, which speeds things up. - Complex Prefs management: - Settings can be saved individually for each module (either in a separate directory or along with the module). - Default settings can also be saved for: - whole directories - module types - amount of channels - module type+amount of channels. - 4 DSP presets can be stored for quick access using the GUI. - Default AutoBoost factor can be changed. - Now uses a faster longword pipelined chipmem transfer. History ~~~~~~~ V4.20 (05-Dec-99): (36692 Bytes) - Fourth Aminet release. - Lots of changes to the automatic sine panning, adding a method again which doesn't cause 100% balanced sound, also changing the old method not to jump between left&right so much. Added a menu item to choose either method. - Added keyboard shortcuts for the mixing modes (keys '1' to '7'). - Fixed the AHI mode bug that caused a crash on eject in certain cases. - Fixed a bug within the AHI support that caused ModPrefs modules to be played at the previous frequency and not the ModPrefs one. - Fixed a longstanding bug that could cause a crash or at least freeze the machine for some time when ejecting a module in rare circumstances. - ADDED FONT SENSITIVITY! Added four new menu items to select between the original layout (topaz/8), the system default font and a selectable custon font. It was a lot of code to add (750 lines), please honour it. - Slight changes of gadget widths and heights. - Added an option to layout the GUI horizontal rather than vertical. Made it default for this creates a window that is exactly 640 pixels wide when using an 8x8 pixel font and fits neatly on a PAL screen again. - Little bug overwriting some bytes of prefs data fixed. - DSP speed increased a little bit. - ADDED FILTER SLIDERS FOR THE DSP. Yes, now the DSP effects can be combined with the high pass and low pass filters. - AHI requester now shows up only panning supporting modes. This rules out the Paula DMA mode, but it didn't work anyway. - Added quarter DMA mode for saving on *extremely* slow machines (this was requested by Keith Halstead). - Unchecking the ModSave gadget during saving will now pop up an abortion requester. - NOW COMES WITH INSTALLER SCRIPT! V4.10 (17-Jun-99): (32472 Bytes) - Third Aminet release. - Removed MC68000 code. Should have done that long ago. - Fixed a memory trashing bug introduced with late V4.00beta. - Internal changes on how the channels are toggled. - AHI: peak search was even done when Normalize Wave was enabled, even when no ModSave was in progress. - AHI: output was trashed when with no peak search being done. Silly bug, just forgot one line in the routine. This was reported by Crab. - Added menu item 'Restore Default Prefs'. - ADDED BASS & TREBLE CONTROLS (if anyone wonders why this is noted down for V4.00 and not V4.00beta, there's a simple reason: it didn't work the supposed way). - Added two new sliders to finally get the Bass & Treble Sliders working. - Bug in Frequency Override option found: Frequency was not overriden if the GUI window was closed. Now it should finally work. - Fixed inaccuracy of left<->right balance; speeds up mono modes now as supposed. - New mixing mode: Infinite Oversampling. This mode is probably rather slow, but it calculates the samples as if they were mixed at a infinite sampling frequency (okay, it's about 65000xOversampling). I think it's worth a revision bump to V4.10. - Increased accuracy of the Fast Interpolation mode by one bit and fixed a bug in the routine. - Fixed sine panning to always produce a 50% left, 50% right output so there will be no overflow anymore on mods with four channels and w/o Anti Click enabled.
