- Introduction
-
- I bought a SoundBlaster thinking I could just plug it
- in and play all those great .MOD files I used to enjoy
- when I had an Amiga....
-
- Well, was I dissapointed when I could'nt find a good
- .MOD player that would work with my EGA 286.
-
- So that's where it started, I searched high and low
- for some good source to use to play .MOD files and
- found the heart of this program, a little .OBJ file
- written by Mark J Cox. Was I relieved, for if you have
- ever tried to program a SoundBlaster you will know what
- I mean.
-
- To cut a long story short, I sat down and started playing
- around with it and saw it had potential so I decided to
- write Freddy's Module Player.
-
- "Why Freddy's Module Player?", I hear you ask, well, I
- am the SysOp of a BBS called Freddy's Domain and I go
- under the alias of Freddy Kruger.
-
- Ok, so lets get down to business then....
-
-
-
- Usage
-
- FMP does'nt really have much explaining to do so
- this won't be very long.
-
- 1. About : This is just a little info about the program.
-
- 2. Help : Just a little help box, not much in there and
- really is'nt much help at all. 8-)
-
- 3. Exit : Pretty obvious I think.
-
- 4. Change Directory : Another pretty obvious command.
-
- 5. Play : This will play the file of your choice. After
- selecting this option you are presented with a file
- selection box. Click twice on the file you want to
- play. After the file starts to play a volume box will
- appear with four volume contols in it.
-
- Although the sound blaster has more than 4 voices
- .Mod files are Amiga music files and the Amiga only
- has 4 voices there there is no real point having more
- than 4 volume controls.
-
- Each volume control will allow you to adjust the
- volume of each of the 4 seperate voices allowing you
- to experiment with the .Mod file to create some great
- effects.
-
- Just click on the stop button when you want to play a
- different Mod.
-
- 6. Dos Shell : Will Allow you to jump out to Dos.
-
- That's basically all there is to know so get in there and
- have fun!
-
-
- Things to come
-
- The next version of this program will have an equaliser
- in it to display graphical bars as your music is playing.
- It may also have a pattern display which will allow you
- to view the pattern information as the song is being
- played.
-
- Note: This will be the only FreeWare version of this
- program, the next version will be ShareWare.
-
- I hope to, in the future, turn this program into a full
- .MOD editor allowing you to create your own Mods from
- scratch and have it's own built in Sampler so rest
- assured this is not the end.....
-
- Although, none of this is promised.
-
-
- Support
-
- I will attempt to provide support for FMP users who are
- having difficulties. Note that I cannot guarantee any
- help.

- me on the address's above. It's not compulsory,

- methods would be appreciated, just so I can keep track of
- who is using it where.
-

- .OBJ code.
