AmigaOS 4: Drum-Computer RockBEAT 1.1
RockBEAT is a simple software drum machine (Screenshot) for AmigaOS 4. It
is a tool for musicians that allows you to create drumming tracks. It can
create multiple tracks, each one being 4x 4/4 measures with 16th notes.
You can save individual tracks as wav files, or the whole thing as one big
song. You can drop in your own 16bit 44100Hz PCM WAV samples in the
drumsamples/ folder if you like. The new version 1.1 is out now
including several fixes.
Changes in detail:
- No more grim reaper alerts when starting then stopping playback
quickly I removed an AbortIO() call that wasnt really needed.
- Theres no more excess silence at the end of wav files for individually
saved tracks.
- Button graphics are freed up when quitting now.
- All message ports are emptied and deleted when quitting. No more
"unfreed signals" error messages now, and I think it has brought up
stability a little.
- Drum samples limit changed to 20. It used to crash after more than 10
samples were loaded due to a silly programming error. i.e. looping up to
20 times when there were only 10 available spaces in the array.
- Adding new samples to the drumsamples/ folder will no longer make old
projects invalid.
- Better compatibility with some WAVs. RockBEAT used to assume a certain
WAV header value was a always certain size, but I've found out it can be
different.
- I have included a cool cymbal sample to the default drumsamples/set.
The demo is restricted to 10 minutes. If you like it, you can purchase
a keyfile from the author for $15 USD. (nba)
