- Hi and welcome to ART OF NOISE !
-
- This is the preview of the final-sales version of AON. To install
- it on your hd or disk just copy the files extracted from the lha-file
- to any directory an your hd/disk and then assign it as 'aon:', otherwise
- the preferences file etc. can't be found!
-
- FEATURES OF AON
- ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
- First of all, it is 100% protracker compatible (load-format !)
- That means, that you don't have to get used to new shortcuts
- to old (protracker) functions ! But that doesn't mean, that this tracker
- is just another protracker clone! You might already have noticed, that
- AON has got dozens of new functions. If you load AON for the first
- time, you might be slayed by all these new functions, but it's
- worth taking a look at them. I think it would be the best to list up a few
- of them:
-
- - OS-2 graphical environment ! Reqtools-Requester !
- - Supports euro-72 monitors !!
- - 8 channels! But in contrary to startrekker/octamed/oktalyzer this time
- REAL 8 channels, that means free volume/pitch-settings on EVERY channel,
- loops ofcourse also possible !
- - maximal number of instruments increased to 61 !
- - maximal number of patterns increased to 128 !
- - maximal number of positions increased to 256, including restartposition !!
- - wavetable & sampleinstruments.
- - 'macro' instruments possible: E.g. 10 instruments can share the
- same waveform, but the samplestart (for example, there is certainly
- a greater number of possibilities offered by this feature!) can
- vary from instrument to instrument ! Wavetable instruments can be
- used to create 64er-like sounds, but they are also great for big
- resonance-pads etc. !!
- - number of player-commands increased from 28 (protracker) to 45 ! And
- there are ofcourse a lot to come in future versions !
- - Supports powerpacker and STONECRACKER (the best cruncher around!)
- - Arpeggio (maximal 7 notes!) + any other effect, arpeggio speed changeable
- - Remark (normal textfile/ansi) linkable to module !!
- - FM-Synthesis !
- - Drumsequencer! Make your own drumlines with up to 16 tracks !!
- - Big sampleeditor ! Features samples>128k, multisampling, sample-trigger
- digital-filter with selectable depth, flanger, phase-distortion, direct
- 'freestyle' sampleediting: paint your own waves !
- - supports external-synchronizing, e.g. for demos or other presentations!
- - Player is easy to build in in own programs.
- - Turbo-Player available, takes about 1-2 rasterlines (faster than any
- other player!)
- - Update service for future versions!
-

- preview ! If you like this program, please don't copy it. A program
