- MEDPlayer Instructions for version 1.10
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- MEDPlayer is a program for playing songs without MED. You can use it
- from both CLI and Workbench. Unlike MED, you have to specify paths
- for loading samples yourself.
-
- Usage from CLI:
-
- The format of the command line:
-
- medplayer <song> <path1> <path2> ...
-
- <song> is the name of the song to be played.
- <path> The name of the song is followed by the names of paths for loading
- samples. There can be any number of paths, but at least one.
-
- E.g. medplayer df0:songs/Song ST-01: df0:Instruments
-
- If everything goes well, playing begins. It will stop when you press
- Ctrl-C. You can also start MEDPlayer with the Run-command in the form of:
-
- run medplayer <song> <path1> ...
-
- In that case you can't stop MEDPlayer with Ctrl-C. You must use the
- Break-command. So, if the Run-command gives you for example [CLI 2],
- type: break 2 c.
- If you can't remember the number of the CLI, you can check it with
- the Status-command.
-
- Usage from Workbench.
-
- First you have to get the Project-type icon for the song from somewhere.
- You can get it for example from the files of Notepad. The next version of
- MED probably creates the icon automatically.
-
- From WB, select the icon and choose "Info" from "Workbench"-menu. Type
- "MEDPlayer" in "Defaul Tool"-field with its path (if it doesn't exist in
- the same directory with MEDPlayer).
- (e.g. dh0:music/MEDPlayer)
-
- Type the correct path names for samples in "ToolTypes"-field. Use the
- form:
-
- PATH=path1|path2|path3...
-
- There has to be at least one path. You can also separate them with spaces.
- Examples:
-
- PATH=ST-01:
- PATH=ST-01:|df0:Instruments
- PATH=df1:Soittimet dh0:music/instruments
-
- Then you can play the song by double-clicking its icon. If everything is
- all right, a small window will open on the Workbench screen. Close it to
- stop playing.
-
- You can freely distribute and copy MEDPlayer. Send all comments, wishes
