X-PLAY is a player for DMF files, created using the one і і and only tracker - X-TRACKER ( ;)) ). Playback is possible with nearly і і any soundcard and, to be exact, these are: SoundBlaster, SoundBlaster і і Pro, SoundBlaster 16 (ASP), SoundBlaster AWE 32 and the Gravis Ultra і і Sound card. You may also use any clone of the above, but we can't і і guarantee playback on these. As we can't guarantee playback on the і і original cards either, this should not matter . і і і і X-PLAY features a command line only interface for settings, but you may і і use its add-on, X-SHELL, to keep track of these. X-PLAY is also intended і і for quick and successful playback which means that no brilliant gfx have і і been included for your pleasure. і і і і X-PLAY normally (except for beta releases) is accompanied by X-SHELL, an і і easy-to-use, userfriendly shell.

The syntax і і is: і і і і X-PLAY filename.DMF і і і і "filename" can be any valid DMF file. If no file is found, ".DMF" is і і added as its extension. If the file can't be located hereafter, the і і the execution of X-PLAY is aborted. і і і і "parameter1" and so on are additional, optional parameters. They are і і single words, separated by a space (" "). You may add as many of them as і і you like. і і і і Valid key words are: і і і і "/Cx" - sets color і і "/O" - overrides .INI file sound card settings. і і "/V:xxx" - sets the output volume (ranges from 1-255). і і "/W" - waits for a keypress before starting / stopping the music. і і "/NF" - turns off fading. і і "/NSB" - turns off ShowBeat(tm). і і "/NSH" - turns off internal "Shell to DOS" function. і і і і Running X-PLAY without parameters will pop up an info screen: і і і і ДДД-щщ-щ-ДД-ДД--Д-Д-Д-ДДДДДДДДДДДДДДДДДДДДДДД-Д-Д-Д-Д-Д--Д-ДД-щ щщДДДДД і і ЫІ ЬЫ Ь ЫІЯЯЫЬ ЫІ ЬІЯЯЫЬ ЫІ ЫЫ ЫІЯЯЫЫ ЫІЯЯЫЬ і і ЯІ ЬЫЯ ІЫ ЫІ ЫЫ ЫІ ЫІ ЫЫ ЫІ ЫЫ ЫІЬ ЫІ ЫЫ і і ЬІ ЯЫЬ ІЫ ЫІ юЫЫ ЫІ ЫІ юЫЫ ЫІ ЫЫ ЫІЯ ЫІ юЫЯ і і ЫІ ЫЫ ІЯ ЫІЯЯЯ ЫІ ЫІЯЯЫЫ ЯІЫЫЫЯ ЫІ ЫЫ ЫІЯЯЬ і і ЫІ ЫЫ ДДДД ЫІ ДДД ЫІЬЬЫЫ ЫІ ЫЫ Д ЫЫ Д ЫІЬЬЫЫ ЫІ ЫЫ Version і і Д-Д-ДДДДДДДННННН] featuring ShowBeat (tm) technology [НДДННННДННДДД-Д-- і і X-PLAY Version / Date - (c) 1994, 1995 by RAY & COSMIC і і і і PROGRAMMiNG ю RAY^[RADiCAL RHYTHMS]^[BLANK] і і DESiGN ю COSMiC^[RADiCAL RHYTHMS]^[D-LUSiON]^[K.L.F.] і і (C)1994,95 ю RAY & COSMiC, REPLAY ROUTiNES BY D-LUSiON і і і і USAGE: X-PLAY [/Cx] [/NF] [/NSB] [/O] [/V:xxx] [/W] і і e.g.: X-PLAY RAN-JUST.DMF /W /V:222 і і і і/Cx sets color: /C0 = normal, /C1 = red, /C2 = green, /C3 = blue, /C4 = ..і і/O overrides .INI file sound card settings. і і/V:xxx sets the output volume (ranges from 1-255). і і/W waits for a keypress before starting / stopping the music. і і/NF turns off fading. /NSB turns off ShowBeat(tm). і і і і After checking the file, X-PLAY sets up the memory manager and will look і і for a file called "X-PLAY.INI". This file is stored in the same path і і where the X-PLAY executable is placed. If this file is present, X-PLAY і і will take all player information (soundcard and settings) from this і і file. If this file can't be found, X-PLAY will prompt you to enter the і і settings on the setup screen: і і і і First, you'll be prompted to enter the sound device you wish to use. і і Use the cursor keys (left&right) to choose the device. X-PLAY will check і і and see if this device is present lateron. і і If you choose "SB", "SBPRO" or "SB16" you will then be asked to choose і і the mixing frequency. This will affect the quality of the output and і і depends on the power of your processor. You can not play back a song on і і an ordinary "SB" with a 386 using a mixing frequency of "44000" Hz. і і Try - if you have any pops or drop outs, your processor is not fast і і enough. Delete the .INI file and try with a smaller mixing frequency. і і Use the cursor keys (up&down) to select the value. і і If you use the Gravis Ultra Sound or the SoundBlaster AWE 32 you will і і not be prompted to enter the value because the mixing is done by the і і hardware itself. Therefore, the mixing frequency is always the maximum і і the card can use. і і Enter the other functions as desired, using the cursor keys. і і і і SB 16 users please note: when selecting an 8-bit DMA channel (<5), you і і will loose your 16-bit features and will hear 8-bit mixed music. і і і і AWE Users please note: The replay routines on the AWE work without using і і any DMA or IRQ functions. X-PLAY will display IRQ 2 and DMA 1 when і і selecting the AWE 32 but will not use them. So: don't worry, you only і і need the correct base address. і і і і The main player screen will show some information about the song and і і a function overview. On the right, the 32 channels are shown with a peak і і meter, which is only updated when an instrument is played on a channel. і і If you want hot graphics, use other players. ;) і і і і You can leave the player at any time by pressing ESCape. і і і і Other functions can be activated by pressing the corresponding key and, і і as they are self explanatory, will not be discussed within this doc. і і і і Some general notes: і і і і If the cards memory is written in RED chars, double sound mem is active. і і This happens if the on board memory (only GUS&AWE) is to small to keep і і hold of the song's samples. In this case, all samples are recalculated і і to fit into half the memory they'd normally need. If your card's mem і і is still to small after this operation, X-PLAY will abort execution. і і і і The DOS Shell is not very safe to use - it is there, so use it on your і і own risk. If it crashes.. well, shit happens! і і і і Some modules contain Show Beat (screen flashing while playing). If you і і experience any loss in sound quality just disable this function and і і there you are. і і і і Greetings from RAY go to: everybody at RADiCAl RhYthMS, BlANk, і і D-lUSiON, lEGENd dESiGN, k.l.f.
