Four years after Just Musix 2 we bring you:
J U S T M U S I X I I I
Released November 31 1997
You should atleast have: a standard Atari Falcon or compatible
4 megs of ST-RAM
VGA/RGB monitor (still no mono support..)
We recomend: that you run this demo with some kind of
accelerator. The faster the better.
It will however run just fine on a
standard 16 MHz machine as well, only
that the background fx will move a bit
slow. But it will always play 49 KHz and
let the graphicspeed suffer instead.
We have tested: Just Musix 3 on standard Atari Falcons
with and without Nemesis fitted.
No problems to report so far. We hope
this will be the same with other
speeders as well.
If you have: doublesync problems with your VGA-
monitor, you should run the supplied TSR
patch-program for that. If you don't
have this problem (or use RGB) you should
absolutely not use it.
There are: a few data-files among with the main .prg
program. This is because we could not fit
everything in 4 megs without loading the
tunes from disk. The files cannot be
renamed/moved to another position, the demo
will refuse to start if so. The directory
with Just Musix 3 should be as following:
jm3.prg 274060 bytes
jm3.txt 9979 bytes
mods/frequent.gt2 383484 bytes
mods/forbid.gt2 351042 bytes
mods/xanthou.gt2 317292 bytes
mods/summer.gt2 345106 bytes
mods/sweet.gt2 319292 bytes
We have included a doublesync patch-
program for those with double-vbl
problems. Do not use it if you don't
suffer from this bug.
Twinsync files are:
twinsync/twinsync.prg 6487 bytes
twinsync/twinsync.txt 314 bytes
We would like to thank: CiH/MaggieTeam and Thomas/New Beat Dev.
for testing the betas with Nemesis.
A few notes: The Graoumf Tracker moduleplayer we are
using here is very slow and a bit buggy.
The soundquality however is quite perfect
and up to day it's the most compatible
player for many different multichannel
format that we know of. Sometime the
musicroutine can use nearly 90% of a
standard Falcons CPU power.
If you want to test the Graoumf Routines
yourself you can find them at:
ftp.ibp.fr /pub/atari/Falcon/Music
in the Graoumf Tracker package there. It is
not the latest demoversion of Graoumf, but
it seems to be the only one with the mod-
converter and replaysources included.
We have worked on this: Anders Nilsson (Toodeloo)
- Music
Anders Eriksson (Evil)
- Graphics and programming
L. de Soras
- Graoumf Tracker replay
AXE/Delight
- Pack ICE
If you are: looking for greetings, look no further
and start the demo instead.
We think: that you should send us a note or two
and tell us what you think about
Just Musix 3. Positive or negative
doesn't matter, it's always nice with
feedback.

Perhaps: you should try 'q' & 'k' keys in
Chippin' for air, and 'f' & '8' keys in
Chippin' for air 2?
And perhaps: there are more hidden files in this
demo or in other DHS productions?
We have assigned: many different keys for selections in
Just Musix 3. You can control all from
mainvolume to colours of the logotype.
Here's a list of keys to use:
General functions:
---------------------------------------
F1 - F5: Select music
1 - 6: Select text to read
Left shift: Pause backgrounf fx
Right shift: Pause textwindow
F10: Save a screenshot in .16b
format. It can be viewed
with either GemView or
Rainbow Multimedia (.f16)
Background fx control (numeric keypad):
---------------------------------------
(: X move increase
7: X move decrease
): Y move increase
8: U move decrease
/: Scroll increase
9: Scroll decrease
*: Rotation increase
-: rotation decrease
Colour selections:
---------------------------------------
Q - P: Background fx coloursets
A - L: Logo coloursets
Z - M: Textwindow font coloursets
Audio control (numeric keypad):
---------------------------------------
4: Increase volume
1: Decrease volume
0: Pause/unpase music
Please note that these schemes are for
english/swedish/finnish and many other
keyboard layouts, it might differ from
other strange standards (eg. german,
french).
Some information: about the music you will hear in a short
while. There are 5 tunes all in all, with
an approx average size around 500 kilobytes
each. Two tunes uses 16 channels (1&3), one
tune has 12 channels (2), one has 4 channels
(4) and there is one 8 channel tune (5).
When you select a tune with more channels,
it will show quite well on the framerate of
the background fx. If you feel the background
fx goes too slow and is doing nothing but
annoy you, set X/Y movement and scroll/rot
speed to minimum, and you will have a still
image as background instead.
We are now: done with this textfile. Stay tuned for the
next DHS release - hopefully sometime 1997.
See you next time,
Anders * 2
