This is a new version of the different external "TFMX 7V" module player
for EaglePlayer 1.54/2.00+. It's a player for all known "TFMX 7V" modules.

- SampleInfo with SampleSaver (EP 2.00+ only)
- SubSong
- Balance
- ModuleInfo with Position Counter
- Volume
- SongEnd
- PatternJump

- extended mixing routine up to 28 kHz, original replay had a 22 kHz limit
- capable of finding the author's name with the EP FindAuthor routine
- as a bonus, attached is an EagleRipper for TFMX modules (all formats)
Version 2
- fixed the Config routine, now the Workbench screen is correctly unlocked
(Thanks to Luca 'Hexaae' Longone and 'Agony')
Version 3
- loading configuration from "Configs/" directory is now fixed
- highly optimised mixing routine, now 21kHz works for EP1.54 on MC68000
- player now using over 8KB memory less
Version 4
- "over the top" optimalisation, now 22kHz works for EP1.54 on MC68000,
finally OS friendly mixing routine is fastest than original Mad Max version
Notes:
1. The "TFMX 7V" (aka The Final Musicsystem eXtended) replay is the second
Amiga seven voices soundformat, which uses Jochen Hippel's mixing
routine. This soundformat was used only by: Chris Huelsbeck, Rudolf
Stember and Jon Pickard.
2. This version of the "TFMX 7V" player is configurable via the EP player
manager. You can set the mixing rate for the mixing channels (4th, 5th,
6th and 7th) to any integer value from 1 to 28 kHz via a slider gadget.
The default mixing rate is 16 kHz and higher rates are only recommended
for fast CPU's (MC68020+). The configuration will be saved to the
"EnvArc:EaglePlayer/" and/or "Configs/" directories. If none of these
directories exist then the configuration can not be saved.
3. If you have a good (i.e. not damaged) mdat file from the intro music
(seven voices version) from the game "Das Schwarze Auge" (aka "Realms
of Arkania: Blade of Destiny"), please contact Wanted Team.
4. ModuleInfo works/looks better for EaglePlayer 1.54 because EaglePlayer
2.00+ doesn't refresh the ModuleInfo screen.
5. Only for EP 1.54 users: (still the best Amiga modules player ever :-) )
"List of Samples" and "Number of Samples" are actually "List of
Instruments" and "Number of Instruments".
6. For ripping sample files with the attached ripper the data file (mdat),
sample file (smpl), and initialized (!!!) replay file (tfmx.obj) must all
be stored inside the loaded file (which should be a file containing Chip
RAM that was saved to disk). You can save Chip RAM with Action Replay,
WHDload, JST, ChipSaver, Exotic Ripper, Thrill Kill, HrtMon or some other
Amiga monitor. Also, remember that sometimes more than one mdat file can
exist inside saved Chip RAM (for example in the game "Apidya"). You have
to choose the right one or save all available mdat files if you want to rip
the correct smpl file. Furthermore, sometimes more than one initialized
replay exists inside saved Chip RAM. In this case you have to clear the
first replay if wrong samples are saved. Also note that in "Pass 2" mode
you can rip some protected (no header) TFMX modules, for example, the
"Hard'N'Heavy" songs, the "Turrican 2" loading tune and the "Apidya"
loading tune.
