Interessting, hat they put this under some "public" license even soi they do not own the rights.
This looks like the BLL OCR scans.

Anyway they will not tell you _how_ to create sounds :-/

Hi cTrix,

now as, you have a Lynx FlashCart, you might want to try this:

Replaced version:
http://lynxdev.atari.org/flashcart_slideshow.lnx

(warning, will only run on a flashcart, so if you do not own one, no need to download).

Actually, I was hoping for some games soundtracks, or at least menu background music, as MODs are very very very limited on the lynx, esp if you want to do anything else than playing the MOD.
:-)

For the "play on lynx" option the flashcard is not enough, as this requieres a direct connection the the lynx, means a RS232<->COMLYNX connection by a MAX232 chip.

Amazing! And that in only a few hours!

Ah... its there... but...
Problem with the Frequency modulation is that it is using add and sub on the reload of the timer... which makes it not really useful because it may sound completly different for different notes... esp if they use a different prescale for the timer. And you do not have any influence there (yet)?.

BUT: You already saw the WaveEnv modulation? Guess what is happening if you combine a waveform with length 12 and 16? right, theere will be a second note at 4/3 of the frequency!

Actually I was thinking about kicking the freq modulation out as i think its eating up only space in the player code.

Sound like bugs :-)
But withou the song or at least a screentshot this is hard to say.
=> Send me the songs ;-)

no. the player code there is for instrument/sound effect tests on the lynx. It is only playing a register dump (-> play on lynx, see export asm).This gets
quiet big already for a single track. i you cat the compiled asm file (without file/exe header) behind the minipl3.o and "modify" the length information in the exe header, you get a file which plays the register dump on the lynx. Thats what "play on lynx" is doing.
As I said, useful mainly for sound effect an testing.

Compiling a song works the following way: Use export BLL, this result in a assembler source code file full of macros and labels.
this can then be assembled with the sound driver to crate an executeable.
I use the lyxass for that and mainly Bastian Schikcs BLL kit ... but with modifications!!
until now the modifications are not public, as I still doing changes in there... means adding things to chipper <-> changing code in the driver. So this is really beta. ... my main time-eater at the moment.

Thank for finding the bugs and the nice tunes!

I am a bit surprised taht there is a cgl file at all. I though I compiled a static binary release version without codeguard and debugging symbols.

But the exe file from the old archiv you could run?

Add:Seem I clicked a wrong checkbox in the project options, fixed version -> http://lynxdev.atari.org/Chipper_1.2.0.2.zip

Some more updated version:
http://lynxdev.atari.org/Chipper_1.2.0.2.zip
Most important news:
WaveEnv (for instruments)
Timeline (for effects)
export reworked/lynx player code updated
Known Bugs:
Sometimes the tracker-player crashes if one hits stop ...
Fourier analysis deactivated because of mem acc error
exported song does in some cases differ from the one you can hear in chipper replay and comlynx replay
Environment lists are not updated on song load
... and some more

Thank you.
Actually, the tools was never meant as a tracker, but more like a converter for MOD files and a sound effect editor.

The soudn effects can be used in a program very easily, as they are more or less register dumps... therefore bit larger.

For the full song exporter, basically its working, but there a a few quirks. thus i will only give out the code to people which are _really_ interested in testing it :-)
