Short: 8SVX sample player, handles files > mem Architecture: m68k-amigaos PlayFile is a CLI based command which plays IFF 8SVX and RAW samples straight from disk. It does not load the entire sample and so does not waste memory. This program was designed to play files from hard disks or other quick access storage devices. It will not work off stiffy drives at any speed over 10000 samples per second. Usage: PlayFile [-options] [samples per second/period] The options are as follows: -F Filter on -f Filter off -S Volume and Pitch Slide -x Immune to Right Mouse Button -s Stereo -m Mono -l Audio Channel 0 (left) -r Audio Channel 1 (right) -R Audio Channel 2 (right) -L Audio Channel 3 (left) Volume and Pitch Slide This doesn't really serve any purpose, but I put it in anyway. All it does is sets the volume proportional to the vertical coordinate of the mouse and the period to the horizontal coordinate. Right Button Immunisation Without -x the right mouse button will stop PlayFile. Audio Channels The audio channel selection may be followed by a volume ranging from 00 to 64. If no volume is given the default is 64. NB Must be a two digit value. Using multi-tasking it is possible to play more than one sample from disk at a time depending on the speed of your hard drive and play back speed. If you try this make sure that you use different audio channels. Stereo/Mono This play routine will sense whether the sample is stereo or not, and will play it as such. This can however be overriden by these two options The default options are -l64r64. Period/Samples per Second If no value is given here the speed is read from the sample which must then be an IFF 8SVX sample. If the value is lower than 2000 it is taken to be a period value which is calculated as follows: clock constant Period Value = -------------------- samples per second where clock constant = 3546985 for PAL 3579545 for NTSC FILES WHICH ARE CONTAINED IN ARCHIVE: Play 3896 README! 2547 You may distribute this utility freely, on condition that it is distributed together with this README!
