Short: The Maestix: Reloaded! Using AHI Author: Damien Stewart Uploader: hypexed yahoo com au Type: driver/audio Version: 1.3 Replaces: util/libs/TheMaestrix.lha Architecture: m68k-amigaos Distribution: Aminet Describing The Maestrix. Maestix MaestroPro driver simulator that redirects audio to AHI. New features in version 1.3 release of The Maestrix: * Futher optimised buffering routines with bug fix where signals could be missed causing buffer stalls. * Matches priority of client process to ensure audio buffering routines are on the same level to reduce stuttering. * Now includes safeguards when audio is stopped and started as software tends to violate API and free audio buffer memory before freeing audio. * Added some more sanity checks to sound setup input data to ensure integrity of parameters. * Resource management has been cleaned up so all system objects are reset before reuse. * Fixed a bug in tooltype parsing code that could crash under some circumstances. * New BUFFERS option allows you to specify an independant audio cache! * Updated documentation with a mix buffering guide for OctaMED SoundStudio. What is The Maestrix? Enter a world. A world full of sight, sound and structure. A world, streaming along, running on the curves and lines that exist manefested in it's own linear space. A world, opening up new possibilites, allowing desires to be met, creativity to be processed. Enter a world, that moves up, down and across on the grid that forms it's universe. Enter a world. Enter The Maestrix. Enter The Maestrix. The Maestix: Reloaded. Based on Richard Korber's work, The Maestrix emulates the functionality of his Maestix MaestroPro API library, but instead works through AHI. Now any tools you have which can play using the maestix.library can now be directed through AHI. As an example of the possibilites, SoundStudio can use this library, so now you can use SoundStudio to play multi-track 16-bit modules through AHI! Yes, now all you AmigaOS4 users can play with SoundStudio once again, and catch up from where you left off without the need to wait for an OS4 native version. It also works with standard 4 tracker modules as well, so you don't have to worry about not having CIA timers, Paula hardware, or how SoundStudio doesn't directly support AHI. Now it can!
