JCH NewPlayer 21.g4 beta
I febuary/march I decided to code a player for JCH's editor. Mostly because I was feeling like doing some tunes on the 64 again, after attending the X'2004 event. Basically I was annoyed by the tie-note syncronization problem with 20.g4 and just felt up to coding some 64 stuff again. For the past four, five months Drax has been testing the player, and given me some response as to what features to integrate into it and such. If there's any interest in trying out the player I'd release the present beta version with whatever bugs it suffers from. The player has been written from scratch and has some new features, and is roughly the same speed as the old one... So if people still use the JCH editor and find this interesing, please say so! I'd especially be interested in feedback in regards to bugs discovered and suggestions for features etc. |

I just wanted to check out how the "add release" thing worked, and as I was easy as hell to actually upload, I decided to just do it right away.. I also mailed it to Søren, so there'll be an alternative if this one fails.
So.. "JCH NewPlayer 21.g4 Beta" has been added to releases and can be downloaded now. Please be so kind and comment all you like.. good AND bad, all is fine to hear.
I put a new JCH packer in the zip file as well, even though the old one works too. This packer packs the sequences a little better, as JCH forgot to pack the duration and tie note stuff together in his old one. BUT there's a bug in it (yeah.. well! Sorry), seems that I won't pack songs with more than $40 sequences.. So.. Need to fix that!..
I would be very interested in getting work tunes that will not pack using the packer, and worktunes that somehow crashes the player or otherwise don't work as they should!
There're a few work tunes in there, that are actually done with NP21.G3, but show most of the new features in use!
Have fun!.. And let me hear your thoughts, please! :) |

Great! Eventhough I am no composer, I would like to thank you for adding it to CSDb! :) |

hi there,
laxity was so kind to send me the player some days ago, before the "officially" release. well, i am also trying out jeffs editor at the moment as this will be my new "soundsystem" :) but 21.g4 is VERY good, too. features like portamento, DSR/Filter direct commands, nice options for soft/hard restart and a much better (!) vibrato is just what jch users have dreamed of. i will never use 20.g4 again, no need to say more. try it out!
btw, it's a pleasure to see some activity from laxity again. that's compareable if ABBA would return with their beautiful and unforgotten melodies. GREAT! :D
god saves the petersen. |

last note: the live play feature is not working. that's the only big disadvantage and will hopefully be solved in the future. |

Hey Lax... what's going on? Releasing a version 21.g4 before letting me test it!!! ;) Well, just curious what is new compared with the 21.g3. It's a great player you have managed to put together ... the tie-note fix, the hard/soft restart switch, the cut-off function, the portamento, the filter change in the sequence and more. Really nice work...
Nice work tunes :D

Yeah.. I'll have to check out how JCH made that thing work though, and that's rather boring :) .. It's on the top of the list, I promise! |

Well... what can I say? Some random JCH v20.g4 user here, I'll be sure to test out v21.g4 asap. I never use live play, mainly because I set speed to 0 (halfspeeds) in v20.g4, so the live play goes crazy anyway.
Of course, Jeff's editor will probably also be my soundsystem :), but that won't stop me from using this while awaiting Jeff's final version.
It's also great to see two super composers from the past (yeah you too DRAX) active again. Simply brilliant! =) Might a scrub like me ask what brought you back (temporarily or not)? SID nostalgia? |

Well.. I think what triggered it was my trip to the X2004 last year, which - even though I was hung over most of one of the two days (DOH!), and puked like a 14 year old - motivated me to do some 64'ing again.. Also coding is a lot easier now, as I'm somewhat more expirienced, and have a genuine interest in it. I didn't really back then.. ;) .. Still coding some 64, and have a project going on that, if finished, will hopefully prove interesting to some in this forum... But no promises yet! |
