- Short: A cool player for MODs and MEDs
-
- EdPlayer v2.1: 9/20/92
-
- Ah, yes, time to fix the bugs.
-
- * New display mode for EdSynth: HIRES/INTERLACE! The EdSynth popup
- button now cycles through No EdSynth, Old EdSynth, and New EdSynth.
- * asl.library now supported. See docs for FREQ command.
- * NOTE SKIPPING BUG -- DIE DIE DIE DIE!!!!!!!!!
- With 2.0, I thought that I had killed this note-skipping bug. But it
- seems that every system is different: What is fixed on my A3000 might
- still be broken on yours. SO, I made a new command, "DMAWait <value>",
- that lets you adjust it yourself, for best results!! A new query,
- "ADMA", reads the current value of DMAWait. See the DOCs or startup file
- for info on how to use this new command.
- * ProTracker tempo commands fixed. A patch in the PT replay code, designed
- to make EdPlayer compatible with old NT mods, actually broke compatability
- with newer PT mods. A small modification to the patch should fix it
- for both the old and the new.
- * EdPlayer interrupt priority lowered to "software interrupt". This means
- that more time-critical interrupts like modem activity will be able
- to interrupt EdPlayer. Modem operations should return to normal.
- * Now takes less CHIP memory. The EdSynth code used to take about 50k
- more CHIP mem than it needed to. EdPlayer was streamlined so much
- in this area that it actually got smaller this version (actually, I
- think EdP 2.0 might have had a smaller executable than EdP 1.1, but
- that was only because I started compressing the executable in 2.0).
- * New ARexx queries, AVERsion, AERRor and APLAying. See docs.
- * New companion program created, "EdPlayerJr". EdPlayer Junior is
- just EdPlayer without the mouse interface (main panel/EdSynth).
- Even after opening the iconified window, it only takes about 40 bytes
- (yes, BYTES!!) of CHIP mem. It can be controlled through telled/
- cteled/ARexx, the same as the "big" version of EdPlayer in every
- respect except the MENU command. This small-size, low-mem player
- is perfect for playing back songs or programs created earlier with the
- main EdPlayer under low mem conditions, or for putting ARexx-controlled
- music in presentations (that don't need the main panel), etc.
