PianoPlayer v1.0
----------------

This is just a little demonstration of the cool Piano Keyboard
MUI class by Calgero Cali. I found this class and thought "Well,
one could do nice things with this class....". Now here is the
result of 2 hours of coding: PianoPlayer. This program loads a
Protracker module and plays it. The different notes played on
each channel are displayed on a keyboard.

Requirements:

- you need MUI3.8 and PianoKeyboard custom class (dev/mui/MCC_Pkb14_4.lha)
- if you want to play packed modules you need xfdmaster.library
- for the installation you need NewInstaller (Aminet: util/wb)

Features of PianoPlayer (not much):

- plays Protracker modules using CIA
- nice looking because of MUI 
- supports xfdmaster.library for decrunching
- ....anything else?

Xfdmaster.library is supported but not necessary. If it`s
not installed you can only play not packed modules. 

This version lacks of:

- multitasking (you cannot do anything else in the GUI while
  a Mod is playing - maybe I`ll create an extra task for this job
  in future)
- the keys aren`t updated if the same note is played...I don`t
  know how to manage this correctly. If I let every note play it
  flickers...

Have fun and send me feedback!

MUI  is  an object oriented system to create and maintain graphical user
interfaces.  From  a programmers point of view, using MUI saves a lot of
time  and  makes life much easier. Thinking about complicated terms like
window resizing or font sensitivity is simply not neccesary.

On  the  other hand, users of MUI based applications have the ability to
customize  nearly every pixel of a programs interface according to their
personal taste.

Please click on the Install-MUI icon to install MUI on your system or to
update from previous versions.  Latest news and support  can be found on
Internet at www.sasg.com.
