$VER: Players.doc V2.11 (16.02.1995) Copyright 1995 by Delirium Softdesign (Peter Kunath and Frank Riffel) In this document file are all players listed that are officially released or supported by Delirium Softdesign. 1. SOME WORDS All players from us are adapted and tested with care. If problems arise from our adaptions we will fix them till the next release if possible. For this we will need some informations about your system (type, processor, memory, kickstart) and a precise description of the fault. In addition we must know which version of DeliTracker was used, which player and/or module(s) caused the fault. If you have removed a bug or improved a player we would be pleased if you send this player to us. If you have adapted a completely new player it would be nice if you send us the player (perhaps with source) and some modules for this player. Please remark if we can include the player in the next distribution. We can not make any warranties for modules that include the replay routine. If you send me routines please include some modules for testing. Any other routines are welcome too. We can not make any warranties for modules that include their replayroutine. 2.

EXTERNAL PLAYERS Player Comment =================== ================================================== Actionamics ; --- DeliS3M Uses Noteplayer Interface (up to 32 Voices). DeliSID Requires playsid.library. Delta1.0 ; --- Delta2.0 Replaycode inside the module! There may be some problems with the volume control of certain mods. DSS ; --- DTMusicMaker4 ; --- DTMusicMaker8 ; --- EMS Rarely used. FastTracker Uses Noteplayer Interface (up to 8 Voices). FC1.3 Uses Noteplayer Interface. FC1.4 Uses Noteplayer Interface. Fred Replaycode inside the module! FTM Modules of this type may now be crunched. GMOD ; --- Grouleff Replaycode inside the module! Hippel Replaycode inside the module! Hippel-COSO ; --- HolyNoise ; --- IFF-8SVX Don't pack the samples. Loads samples while playing. Has a GUI for some memory settings. Hint: The normal audio DMA can playback samples with frequencies up to 28 kHz. If you want to play samples with a higher samplingrate make sure to have a productivity screen in the foreground. This is because in the current hardware, the audio DMA is coupled with the scanrate. The hardware can output two samples per scanline. In standard video mode, this results in a maximum output rate of 2 x 15kHz = 30 kHz. In productivity the scanrate is doubled so the maximum output rate raises to ~60 kHz. IFF-SMUS This player uses the config feature for setting the instrument path (default is 'Instruments:'). Notes: Songfiles where no instrument is set are recognized and loaded, but you won't hear anything. The instrument names must have a '.instr' suffix. JamCracker Uses Noteplayer Interface.
