- short:Protracker 1.2e BUGFIXED(DUAL AMIGA VER)
- type :mus/edit
-
- Hook up 2 Amigas via serial port to play 8channels
- via a NULL cable, they are synced up to each other
- with in one 50hz field.
-
-
- *SOURCE INCLUDED*
-
- NOTE:
- sorry for the last version being bugged up, that is
- because I just grabbed my old disk and sent it up
- assuming it worked , at least it did on 2 A500's
- 12months ago, but now???, so I hooked my A500 up
- next to my A1200 to be sure this time, and what do you
- know, BANG it crashed , so I went on to fix it and
- here it is!
-
- The Protrackers send the commands at 19200 buad to
- each other, so they are really both masters to
- each other.
- *Commands*
- ascii note
- -------------------
- '1' Play Song

- This is the same as the old protracker 1.2b or so
- but with the added benefit of doing real 8 channel
- modules. What you do is hook up two amigas via a null
- cable (serial to serial) and then when you play/record
- on one amiga it instantly (with maximum 20ms delay apart)
- does the same on the other one, so just make two modules
- which play well together and pressplay on either ONE!
- then it will send the signal to do the same on the other
- amiga. Playing via the gadgets will only play on your local
- machine and playing via keyboard will do iton both
- so ALT or AMIGA will play serial and RSHIFT will
- make both record at once so you can edit the SO CALLED
- 8 tracks easily
-
- I thought of this in early 1992 and then I implemented it in
- protracker for a friend of mine. Then I saw the future options
- for protracker 3.1 and they thought of it too but till
- this date it still aint do it. RIP it off me please!!!!!!
-
- It also has pitch control for each track, nice to play with!
-
- In the sample edit there is a button called MON
- this monitors incoming audio from 8bit sampler and displays
- it in full screen, cool to watch on HUGE TV!
-
-
- Other hardware needed, yo need an audio mixed so you can
- mix both amiga's audio signals together to get full
- 8 channel audio.
-
-
- OK all, so here it is have fun and the source is supplied
- if you have any problems with timing etc...
- You can change it your self!
-
- BTW: all (most) pictures with in PT are IFF so they
- all are included in to the thing when compiled (ASM)
- I used devpac and it worked fine!
- Do NOT USE Brilliance to save your IFF's they contain
- an xtra chunk which the IFF decode code gets confused with
- use DPAINT otherwise just fix the IFF DECODE code.
-
-
-
- Have fun, and please some one PLEASE start writing
- a protracker or clone that will use 16bit 8/16 track
- so that by the time AAA comes out we wont have to wait
- 12 months for it, start now and use the OS! if possible
-
- Happy New year all
-
- have fun
