MUSIC IN THE CP / M
This article provides an overview of programs that are
used to extract the sounds under CP / M. Let's start with a
program that came into my hands first.
ADJ
(C) Feb-1993 by Krestyanikov AA
Key features:
votes
(Instruments being played simultaneously) 4
number of playback channels 2
playback device covox
bit of data on each channel 8 bit
number of tools to tune up to 31
the total amount of tools up to 152 KB
length of the score to 128 lots
number of parties to 99
length of one party 64 cycles, 1 kB
average sampling frequency when
playback mode Turbo 10 kHz
The program, in principle, not bad. However, this
more player, rather than a music editor. The advantage,
perhaps, is the fact that it works. :) About the shortcomings
of more ...
ADJ requires that the memory hung WINDOWS
(Enemies wet softerov hasten to reassure, a graphical interface
to CP / M). Which increases the download time. And also,
significantly slows down the program.
To play a file format, STM,
it must be convertible utility (this utility traders
love to flirt).
Even in turbo mode the quality leaves much to be desired.
No ability to view and edit.

Very nice program. At the moment
this is the only musical editor for CP / M. Moreover, the
editor format STM.
Let's start with appearance:
Convenient windowed interface (which is pleasing to note,
not slow).
Possible to load your background image.
It should be in the format. SCR. Utility GRF> SCR
is on the disk with the editor.
At the bottom of the screen a list of used
keys in this mode.
In:
The program works with the formats of STM and ADJ.
No conversion is not necessary. SM allows you to write
and compile the file format of STM. Moreover, this
Fail easily reproduce any program on the PC.
SM is a lot of non-intrusive service
and easy editing and tone are far left bend as SOUND TRACKER
and the like. For example, to copy the block should mark the
beginning of the end (the box highlighted in color) and specify
where to copy. All this is done literally 04/03 keys.
Problem solved new samples of at least simple, COMPILER
allows you to retrieve them from the STM-s.
As for sound quality, there SM
the undisputed favorite.
I recommend to all!

Concurrent BIOS utilities
FRD-laboratory 'PUNK-Soft
MUSIC.COM
This utility is rather a demonstration
important than practical. And it demonstrates the possibility
CONCURRENT BIOS (which is, in fact, in Advertising does not
require) for processing interrupts. After initialization
(command MUSIC ) Your music will play softly coprocessor is
just a melody of ROBOCOP3, which will be heard, no matter
what, until then, until the interrupt enabled.
When you get tired of the melody, give the command
MUSIC KILL.
Utilita MUSIC.COM installed in the 4 segments, so that the
ramdisk it does not include worth it.
