- QTM v1.00 - a total rewrite into the fourth release
- ---------------------------------------------------
-
- Most of the help is now provided by a nice Hiper help file, but, for those
- of you who haven't encountered QTM before...
-
- QTM is my music player wot I wrote. It is the final development of a program
- no-one except people who laugh at me have probably heard of called Musax.
- The current version has been totally, utterly and completely revamped from
- earlier versions in an attempt to produce the ultimate music player. No
- doubt some smart alec will do something better and not tell me, and v2.00
- will have to be even more ultimate.
-
- Using it is simplicity itself. If you haven't got NewerLook loaded, the tunes
- should appear as cassettes, which can be either double-clicked upon to play,
- or you can drag them into the tape recorder for the ultimate in drag'n'drop
- wonderousness (and to make PC users go a pale shade of green).
-
- QTM can play 4 instrument soundtrackers, protrackers and startrekker format
- tunes, as well as close relatives. It can convert and play 4-channel
- ArcTracker tunes AND it has a plug-in which enables the playing of
- Digital Symphony tunes. I don't have any other players, so that's all you
- get at the moment.
-
- Having worked out how to use the simpler features of QTM, you may now
- progress to the more complex ones. To gain access to these, you need to use
- the icon bar menu, which has a handy 'Goodies' option which contains what the
- name implies. The precise contents are uncertain depending on what you have
- loaded in the line of plug-ins, but the basic options are:
-
- Controls - the standard control window
- Song Info - all you never wanted to know about the song/silence you are
- playing
- Samples - the various instruments involved in the current tune
- Playlist - allows you to play lots of different songs, in the manner
- of a jukebox with 10p stuck in the slot.
- Sidebars - A reconfigurable toolbar which sits on the side of the screen
- Options - control all the assorted aspects of QTM
-
- Choosing any of these options will result in the appropriate window opening.
- If you can't work something out, refer to the Hiper Text help file, because
- I'm not documenting everything twice.
