- DESCRIPTION
-
- This politely multitasking program will play all popular sound program
- modules available on the amiga. Currently it supports over 150 (!)
- different module formats plus one special format for modules which contain
- their own player. ProTracker and PT-like players are internal; additional
- players are loaded from disk. That means you can very easily add/update
- players by placing them into the DeliPlayers directory.
-
- There are many reasons for using DeliTracker; here is only a small list:
-
- system friendly and multitasks happily
- allocates the sound channels
- supports more than 150 different module formats
- correct playspeed in PAL/NTSC (uses timer.device)
- does not interfere with modem use
- supports xpkmaster.library for decrunching
- can play mods from fastmem
- provides random play & songend detection
- converts many pt-clones back to protracker
- has sizeable scopes
- decrunches lha-files
- full Arexx support
- supports module lists
- pubscreen support
- hotkey (commoditiy)
- enforcer and mungwall proof
- supports full CLI or workbench (tooltypes) environment
- uses gadtools.library for layout
- supports the Toccata and the MaestroPro soundboard
-
-
- DISTRIBUTABILITY
-
- This package is Freeware. There's no need to register. Thanks to all
- registered users for their support!
- A note about freeware: free doesn't mean free of rights, ie. Public
- Domain. Freeware is only free of charge, but still copyrighted.

- NOTES
-
- This is the final DeliTracker Version for the Amiga, there won't be any
- more updates. The development is now continued on the PC. The official
- Homepage of the Windows version is www.deliplayer.com
-
- This package includes many updated and/or previously unreleased players
- and genies. Some of them can be found in the Bonus directory (most of
- them are not installed by the installer script, so don't forget to
- examine this directory carefully!). A few interesting files are still
- missing, e.g. a player for DigiBoosterPro modules can be found in the
- official distribution. Also missing is Peter Mattsson's DeliSid4Amiga,
- a DeliTracker interface for the excellent Sid4Amiga by Paul Heams. And
- finally, Christian Buchner's ADPCM-Player, Achim Härtel's PokeyNoise
- and Nicolas Pomarede's MYST YM2149 emulator player can be found on
- Aminet. More players (3rd party) can be downloaded from ExoticA (the
- URL of ExoticA as of this writing is http://exotica.fix.no, but will
- undoubtedly change again;-)).
-
- Important: if you do not use the installer script and install DeliTracker
- by hand then you *must* replace all PC multichannel tracker players (ie.
- IT, Poly, S3M and XM) with the new versions included in this distribution.
- The old players are not fully compatible with this release and might crash
- your system otherwise.
-
- Please note that the docs (especially the french translation, the player
- and genie documentation) are partially outdated or incomplete. Some notes:
- the new TFMX player supports all known TFMX modules, the TFMX_1.5, TFMX_Pro
- and TFMX_7V players are no longer needed. The Hippel_7V player is obsolete,
- the modules are now handled by the Converter genie and the Hippel-COSO
- player. The THX player has been renamed to AHX (it handles 1.x and 2.x
- modules). The new SoundControl player supports 3.x - 5.x modules and
- replaces all old SoundControl players.
-
- Users with a fast Amiga should take a look at the SASC/SHSC xpk libraries
- (look for `xha.lha' on Aminet). The libs offer very good compression and
- have special modes for packing sample data.
-
- Big thanks must go to Chris Hodges for improving the 14Bit-NotePlayer
- and several players. Everyone with an 020+ Amiga is highly recommended
- to install his improved genie instead of the original one (the genie
- can be found in the Bonus directory). It's also a must have if you've
- a soundcard.
-
- Last minute update: added "font <name.font>" option which can be used
- to specify a font (only 8 point, non-proportional fonts are allowed, e.g.
- "FONT=topaz.font"). If the font cannot be found (the font name is case
- sensitive!) or doesn't fit the requirements, the default font (topaz 8)
- is used.
-
- Many thanks to Gaelan Griffin for sending me a bunch of updated players
- shortly before release and lots of debugging/beta-testing.
-
- Special thanks to Jan Krolzig for testing lots of beta players and genies.
-
- Thanks to the Wanted Team for player support. Don Adan is very good about
- uploading his players to Aminet as soon as they are finished. So don't
- forget to check Aminet once in a while.
