- --------------- MEDPlayer V2.10 instructions - Teijo Kinnunen 2.7.1990 ---
-
- MEDPlayer is a program, which you can use to play MED songs without MED.
- You can use it from Workbench or CLI.
-
- MEDPlayer V2.10 can load MED V2.10 sng+samples-format and MMD0-modules.
- It can't load MED V2.10 songs or files created with previous versions
- of MED. Why?? Because I think it is more important that MEDPlayer is
- as compact and quick as possible instead of the ability to load millions
- of file formats. You can convert older files by loading them to MED V2.10
- and saving them back again.
-
- There are two versions of MEDPlayer: MEDPlayer2.10 and MEDPlayer2.10m.
- MEDPlayer2.10m can play both Amiga and MIDI sounds.
- MEDPlayer2.10 is for songs that use only Amiga samples (no MIDI). Don't
- try to use it for playing MIDI songs (if you try -> CRASH). If you're
- not sure if the song uses MIDI, use 2.10m.
-
- And now, the usage:
-
- CLI:
- medplayer <song>
-
- <song> is optional. If not specified, MEDPlayer window
- appears and waits for your interaction. If <song> is
- present, then the song is loaded. If it loaded OK,
- then the playing will start. Press Ctrl-C to quit.
-
- WB:
- Double-click the icon. You can also set the "Default tool"-field
- of the .info file (default is "MEDPlayer"). MEDPlayer opens in
- the interactive mode when started from WB.
-
- The window:
- If you started MEDPlayer in the interactive mode, the window
- appears. Type in the name of the song/module. Then click
- Return to load it. "Play" starts playing, "Cont" continues it,
- "Stop" stops. Quit with the close gadget. You can load another
- song by entering a new name to the string gadget.
