QuickDocs for MODZap v00.41a. These docs and the MODZap program are copyright (c) 1992 Ian Schmidt and Two Meg Software. All Rights Reserved. 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! Credits ------- Program, Design, and Concept by Ian Schmidt. Nagging and Cool Player Screen by James Brookes.
