EdPlayer v2.1: 9/20/92
Ah, yes, time to fix the bugs.
* New display mode for EdSynth: HIRES/INTERLACE! The EdSynth popup
button now cycles through No EdSynth, Old EdSynth, and New EdSynth.
* asl.library now supported. See docs for FREQ command.
* NOTE SKIPPING BUG -- DIE DIE DIE DIE!!!!!!!!!
With 2.0, I thought that I had killed this note-skipping bug. But it
seems that every system is different: What is fixed on my A3000 might
still be broken on yours. SO, I made a new command, "DMAWait <value>",
that lets you adjust it yourself, for best results!! A new query,
"ADMA", reads the current value of DMAWait. See the DOCs or startup file
for info on how to use this new command.
* ProTracker tempo commands fixed. A patch in the PT replay code, designed
to make EdPlayer compatible with old NT mods, actually broke compatability
with newer PT mods. A small modification to the patch should fix it
for both the old and the new.
* EdPlayer interrupt priority lowered to "software interrupt". This means
that more time-critical interrupts like modem activity will be able
to interrupt EdPlayer. Modem operations should return to normal.
* Now takes less CHIP memory. The EdSynth code used to take about 50k
more CHIP mem than it needed to. EdPlayer was streamlined so much
in this area that it actually got smaller this version (actually, I
think EdP 2.0 might have had a smaller executable than EdP 1.1, but
that was only because I started compressing the executable in 2.0).
* New ARexx queries, AVERsion, AERRor and APLAying. See docs.
* New companion program created, "EdPlayerJr". EdPlayer Junior is
just EdPlayer without the mouse interface (main panel/EdSynth).
Even after opening the iconified window, it only takes about 40 bytes
(yes, BYTES!!) of CHIP mem. It can be controlled through telled/
cteled/ARexx, the same as the "big" version of EdPlayer in every
respect except the MENU command. This small-size, low-mem player
is perfect for playing back songs or programs created earlier with the
main EdPlayer under low mem conditions, or for putting ARexx-controlled
music in presentations (that don't need the main panel), etc.
