Polyphonic Music version 1.20: Date: 12/8/89 From: Ed P. Grigassy Well here it is! My third upgrade in the polyphonic music programs and C language routines. What's exciting is that I've added Pascal (Turbo, that is) to the PC three voice world! I'm also very enthusiastic about the new, improved playing routines (ver 1.10) included in this package. These routines should set a standard for three voice music since they have the highest quality I've seen anywhere on the PC market! This package is definately the most powerful music package you can own without purchasing extra hardware (like MIDI cards, or sound digitizers). For info on the updates in this current version, check out the file: UPDATE.TXT - info on what makes this version of Polyphonic Music extraordinary TO PLAY ALL THE SONGS INCLUDED, RUN: PLAYALL.BAT <your_computer_type> Where: <your_computer_type> = PC, XT, AT, 286, or 386 (use the 286 & 386 for speed-up boards as well) During the PLAYALL, press any key to jump to the next song, or Ctrl-C to stop the batch file. To play individual songs quickly, run: MAKEPLAY <songname> /c where <songname> = 1st_noel -> the first noel blues -> an experimental blues jam pachcan -> simplified arragement of the pachelbel canon furelise -> beethoven's fur elise invent13 -> bach's invention no. 13 houseris -> arpeggiated version of house of the rising sun stlouis -> st. louis blues, by w.c. handy and any other .sng file names. For complete information on all the files in this package, read the file: POLY.DOC the full documentation of the Polyphonic Music package (unregistered version). By the way, if you really want to have some fun, try playing some of the .ply files at ridiculously fast speeds (like 200 or less, 10 is really interesting). Running looppoly at these speeds sounds like you are nearby some heavy machinery! (Type LOOPKB songname 10 <enter>) Enjoy!
