[comp.sys.atari.st] Noizetracker MOD Players

aa400@cleveland.Freenet.Edu (Marc A. Lombardo) (06/24/91)

After downloading almost every mod file player that the Atari archive 
has, I have yet to find one that lets me use my hard drive to load in 
the lengthy mod files.  
 
The Audio Sculpture program is a work of art, and so is the Digi-Composer
program.  Both allow me to use the ST Replay cartridge for one speaker,
and the monitor for the other, allowing true stereo from my ST!  The 
problem is, the sculpture program can only (as far as I can tell) be 
loaded from a floppy drive, and doesn't allow the hard drive boot 
program to load. (It is a boot disk)  The Digi-Composer gave a little
more hope, since it runs from GEM, and after the hard drive has been 
installed.  
 
The problem is, it won't allow hard drive use either, as far as I know.  I
set the preferences to save preferences to drive C, the modules to C, 
and the samples to C.  I didn't have any problem understanding this, but 
when I click on save preferences it gives me four bombs, or else it
clears half the screen and then another fourth, and then locks up.  It does
a similar thing when I try to load MOD files from the hard drive C partition.
 
I found the program Replay 1.5 MOD file player in the noiztrkr.lzh file
on the a.a., but this doesn't allow stereo output, but it does let you
use the hard drive.  
 
Any ideas on how I might get this to work, or maybe an update on the replay
mod file player that allows stero output?  Any help would be greatly 
appriciated.  
 
Thanks in advance.

Esion XLI soundtracker has full harddisk support (both for program and the
modules).  Both the ST and STE version can be used on harddisk (the oldest
versions have trouble with folders but the one posted with the ONLY-STE demo
works 100% and has the best sound yet)

	Hi Marc,
		Just a note about DigiComposer.  I believe that DigiComposer 
has a .INF or .DAT file that contains directory paths for the program.  You 
load this file into any word processor or text editor and edit the directory 
paths to match where DigiComposer (and the .MOD files) are located on your
hard drive; then save the information back as an ASCII text file.  Bye.....
