Graoumf Is Not So Damn Slow

v1.2, August 11, 2001



* ABOUT

   This small program is made to play Graoumf Tracker music
   modules. These usually comes with .gtk or .gt2
   extensions. 
   

* REQUIREMENTS

   You need a Falcon of some kind, 1mb memory should be
   enough, although more memory is needed for larger
   modules.
   

* FEATURES

   Graoumf Tracker modules can have 32 channels with
   a 16 bit instrument on each channel. Each channel
   can be panorated freely.
   
   The output mixing is done at 49.1 kHz 16bit stereo.
   If you find a module that isn't quick enough to replay,
   you can lower the replay quality (see 'using' a bit 
   further down).



* COMPATIBILITY

   The program is tested in TOS v4.04 and FreeMiNT v1.16
   and no problems was detected there. It should probably
   work fine in MagiC and Geneva as well.

   The player works happily on standard falcon and 
   Centurbo II falcon. This means it will probably work
   with most other accelerators as well, but is UNTESTED.


* USING

  There is not much you need to know to be able to use
  GINSDS, just drop a file on it's icon or give it a
  gtk/gt2 file as argument.

  From v1.2 there are a few commandline parameters
  to toggle: 'quiet' (no text output) mode or set a
  prefered replay frequency.
  
  Quiet mode:

  ginsds.ttp -q filename.gt2   or
  ginsds.ttp -Q filename.gt2
  

  Change replay frequency:
  
  ginsds.ttp -f1 filename.gt2   (49170 Hz (default))
  ginsds.ttp -f2 filename.gt2   (32780 Hz)
  ginsds.ttp -f3 filename.gt2   (24585 Hz)
  ginsds.ttp -f4 filename.gt2   (19668 Hz)
  ginsds.ttp -f5 filename.gt2   (16390 Hz)
  ginsds.ttp -f6 filename.gt2   (12292 Hz)
  ginsds.ttp -f7 filename.gt2   (9834 Hz)
  ginsds.ttp -f8 filename.gt2   (8295 Hz)


  And of course you can combine the commandlines:
  
  ginsds.ttp -f2 -q filename.gt2 (quiet mode 32780 Hz replay)
