This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

| Information about the !PlayerMod application, Ver 1.25
----------------------------------------------------------
!PlayerMod was initially written by 'The Mad Dog' as a
(very!) simple Desktop player of Sound Tracker modules.
When the Arc version of the 'Tracker' recording system
FINALLY arrived at the AU Show '90, we (Nick Smith & Matt
Durys) felt that a few improvements were in order.
!PlayerMod is Public Domain software, and may be freely
copied and distributed by any person as long as they a)
copy the application ** IN ITS ENTIRETY **, b) make no
modifications to any file INSIDE the application directory
and c) make no profit from distributing the software to
others.
NB : Norwich Computer Services are allowed to distribute
the !PlayerMod application for profit as part of their
"Careware" system, by special permission of the authors.
Nick Smith & Matt Durys, 08-Dec-90
----------------------------------------------------------
Thanks go from the authors to :
=============================
1. Hugo Fiennes for his excellent Module player.
2. 'The Mad Dog' for the initial !PlayerMod program shell,
and the TrackerI/IV ARM programs.
3. Warner Hepping for his fantastic !Spectre sound analyser.
4. James Proctor for his Fade & Script file BASIC code.
5. Matthew Farrow for the highly efficient Tracker ->STracker
convertor ARM code from his !GetSTMod app.
6. Joris R�ling for the neat !Help application with which you
are reading this Help file !
----------------------------------------------------------
Version 1.10 (22-Oct-90) -
added ST ModulePlayer 1.03 (29 Mar 1990) by ALT_Man can
handle 15 & 31 instrument format modules
Version 1.11 (23-Oct-90) -
added Song position, instrument sample (per channel) &
stereo position icons (per channel)
Version 1.12 (24-Oct-90) -
added 'Samples' window. No editing facilities as yet,
but useful for reading those silly messages in Amiga
modules !
Version 1.13 (23-Nov-90) -
added ST ModulePlayer 1.04 (30 Aug 1990) by ALT_Man
thankfully the workspace bugs seem to be fixed in this
version - well done Hugo !
Version 1.14 (24-Nov-90) -
can now change the volume of each sample by clicking
either SELECT (down) or ADJUST (up) over the sample
volume numbers 'Bits' dir now contains !Spectre which is
a WICKED desktop spectrum analyser - this app was
written by Warner Hepping (see his !Help file) please
load this AFTER playermod from the 'Open' submenu, or
else things screw up ! drag a directory icon to the
module player, and any ST modules inside will be played
in order, just like a CD! you can see which file is
playing with the icons at the bottom of the status
window. Also added TrackerI & TrackerIV VU analysers to
the 'Bits' directory, thanks to the Mad Dog for the code
optimisation
Version 1.15 (08-Dec-90) - {First Public Release}
this version has masses of changes to the
templates, sprites and code. Now that these changes
are finally complete, I think that we can call the app
'finished', and I will post it to PD libraries, BBS's,
etc.
Version 1.16 (14-Dec-90) -
Matt complained that I failed to implement the
control panel as per HIS specs ! there are now 3 track
modes - REP for repeat single track, RND for random
track play, and neither (and default) is sequential
track play - hope you like it.
Version 1.17 (31-Dec-90) -
Lots of feedback since 1.15. New features include
editing Sample lengths, repeat positions & lengths and
the ability to save a sample to disc in !Tracker
format. I would like to see a STracker<=>Tracker format
converter added next. Also !Spectre has been turned
into a module so that you don't need to leave the disc
in the drive - it loads from the RMA like Twin now !
Added the silly Keyboard program in the 'Bits'
directory.
Version 1.18 (01-Jan-91) -
First application of 1991 ! Keyboard program has
been upgraded to a full ARM code graphically redrawn
window and been made an integral part of PlayerMod.
Even plays the correct notes on a 3 octave keyboard !
Version 1.19 (07-Jan-91) - {Second Public Release}
Bug fixes. Code optimisation on redraw, and removal of
ARM source code (now loads in as a piece of Absolute
code). Also recognises 'Tracker' format songs prior
to loading, and gives an error message rather than
letting the module try and load it, which would give a
Data Abort error.
Version 1.20 (09-Jan-91) -
No major changes, just some little bugs fixes, a new
version of TrackerIV (Bits directory accessed by ADJUST
on the icon bar). TrackerIV initialises quicker, doesn't
crash and now implements volume scaling.
New errors feature - if more than 3 errors occur within
a few seconds (ie, an infinite loop error), then the
program traps this and exits the application cleanly -
I just wish that certain pieces of commercial software
did this !
Version 1.21 (14-Feb-91) -
Several bugs fixed to do with clicking MENU in the
Samples window, DataOpen messages and !Tracker format
tunes. You also now have a choice of whether to load
an alien filetype or not when it is dragged to the icon
bar.
Version 1.22 (15-Feb-91) - {Integration of James' code}
Added autofade at end of song when playing a directory.
Made the autofade intelligent, fading off only when the
last event contained any notes.
Added playlist facilities. At the moment playlists must
be produced by hand. See playlist file in 'Bits' dir.
Version 1.23 (16-Feb-91) -
As expected - lots of bug fixes. Primarily to do with
the 'repeat' option that wasn't implemented in v1.15.
You can now double click on STScript (playlist) files
and these will be *Type'd.
Version 1.24 (24-Feb-91) - {1st Release to Arcade BBS}
Now preserves stereo positions over new module loads.
Major addition is the ability to convert Tracker
format tunes into Sound Tracker (but only if they use
4 channels !). Thanks to M.Farrow for the ARM to do
this from his !GetSTMod app !!
Some 'useful' changes made like clicking ADJUST instead
of SELECT in the 'Open' submenu will close windows, and
clicking on the 'Open' menu item will open all the
windows in one go.
Version 1.25 (02-Mar-91) - {2nd Release to Arcade BBS}
Discovery of the Wimp_SetExtent call !! So the samples
window now uses that instead of deleting and recreating
the window..! Also the addition of yet ANOTHER window,
this one deals with the Tracker->STracker conversion.
Spectre 1.04 update:
-Gravity added.
-Direct Sprite Access to speed up drawing.
-Fast Sqrt.
-Approx. 70% faster than v1.03!!
Main !RunImage has now been 'Squished' because of memory
restrictions, resulting in an extra 8K free memory !
