- taken as the next cmod ;) (It supports more effects than DMP and plays mods
- more correctly than it so its ok for me :).

- than 1 certain player.

- I have no intentions of supporting pattern loop/delay.. why? just becuase im
- too lazy.
-
- FEATURES:
- =========
- GUS support & autodetection.
- 4,6 & 8 channel mod support.
- MDP style screen but shows chords (and is more accurate volume wise).
- Extension autodetection (no need to type .mod at the prompt).
- DOS Shell (plus resident timer reset function - see 'keys' - f12)
- exciting huh :)
-
- KEYS:
- =====
-
- Main Screen
- -----------
- +,- - Change Master volume (pretty rough but adequate for now).
- [,] - Change speed faster, slower
- {,} - Change BPM slower, faster
- ESC - umm
- d - DOS shell.
- right arrow - move forward a pattern.
- left arrow - move back a pattern.
- 1-8 - mute a channel (doesnt work - more of a 'temporarily shut up' :)
- SPACE - shuttle scrolly forward faster.
- ENTER - move to text mode GUI interface.
-
- Text Mode GUI Interface.
- ------------------------
- SPACE - Toggle between numbers and squares for the MDP style blobs.
- ENTER - return to Main Screen.
-
- AnyWhere (even dos shell).
- --------------------------
- F12 - Resets the mod to its proper speed (mainly for dos shell). In
- dos shell this is most useful, as some programs like MS-Edit
- cause the mod to grind to a halt, as they are resetting the
- system timer which the mod player relies on.
-
-
- GUS Clicks :
- ------------
- This player is full of gusclicks. It only really shows up on
- certain samples, like bass guitar. I havent done any
- specific GUS click removal.
-
-
- FUTURE VERSION:
- ===============
- After I get this beta out of the way i am going to rewrite most of the engine,
- which will be a lot faster, and memory efficient.. it will have..
-
- - New pattern storage system, which will improve speed many times over
- compared to the current storage system.
- - faster and different play routine which will play voices on a row
- nearly all at the same time, rather than at the moment it works out each
- voice and plays it one by one which isnt exactly accurate.
- - .XM support
