MODZap is the ultimate in MOD players for the Apple IIgs. It offers full
|
||
|
|
support for 15 and 31 instrument MOD files used by the Amiga programs
|
||
|
|
NoiseTracker, ProTracker, and StarTrekker. It plays these files on any
|
||
|
|
speed Apple IIgs using pitchbend and other special effects programs like
|
||
|
|
NoiseTracker IIgs just dont give you. And unlike NoiseTracker, it runs
|
||
|
|
under GS/OS and uses the friendly desktop interface you already know how
|
||
|
|
to use. Its also fully compatible with the new System 6.0 (in fact it works
|
||
|
|
better with 6.0!).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To use MODZap, just run it. Load time should be practically instantaneous
|
||
|
|
since its a < 7k application. Once you have a menu bar up, load a MOD,
|
||
|
|
any MOD, including ones NoiseTracker GS chokes on. As with MODifier, you
|
||
|
|
must guess if the MOD is 31 or 15 instrument. Start by trying 31, as most
|
||
|
|
MODs are of this type. If the program hangs or crashes, try 15 instead.
|
||
|
|
To play, pull down the Sound menu and select Play MOD. The Not-So-Scrolly
|
||
|
|
Player will appear before your eyes. To end playback, simply press the
|
||
|
|
Open Apple key on your keyboard. The song will repeat forever if you do
|
||
|
|
not stop it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you run into any MODs which MODZap does not play correctly, tell me!
