Status update: Digibooster Professional 3
Press release:
APC&TCP, responsible for the distribution and development of the music software Digibooster Professional 3, wants to give you an overview of the development of the new version as stated on 19th January 2009 in the news.
First of all we have to say that the program is being rewritten from scratch opening new opportunities which haven't been possible with the old sources of Version 2.xx or at least without an unacceptable amount of work. The program structure can be enhanced now and designed with more efficiency in mind.
playback routine
The implementation of the playback routine on the basis of Digibooster Professional version 2.xx in the new version 3 is nearly finished. Smaller effect commands like Sxx (Pitch up/down) or Lxx (setting of envelope position) and the DSP echo effects parameters (Vxx, Wxx, Xxx, Yxx, Zxx) must be implemented yet. Once we have done that the new playback routine will equal to 100% the one of version 2.xx on the new basis.
Moreover the new playback routine will be very portable having a positive effect on the portability to non AmigaOS compatible platforms.
Furthermore the new playback routine will be 100% independent of AHI.
Digibooster Professional 3 GUI
The basic GUI functions like
- trackerraster
- instrument list
- edit options (new, delete, change, ...)
are already implemented.
In addition the programm will run with several tasks (tracker, player, ...).
Visual customization using different skins will be possible too.
Some initial screenshots of the GUI have been released (1
2
3
4
), please keep in mind that these do not show the finished product.
DigiRoller
This external program will enable you to render music files to complete AIFF or WAV files. It will be made available to the community for open testing shortly. Please note that this isn't the final version.
At this point we would like to advise you of the support forum
of Digibooster Professional. Everyone interested in the development and integration of new ideas is welcome to take part at the discussions.

Lzip 1.5
Lzip is a compiled compressor for AmigaOS, AmigaOS 4 and AROS which is based on the LZMA-algorithm. It is supposed to be as almost fast as gzip and does compress much better than bzip2.

MorphOS: 7-Zip 4.65
The compression software 7-Zip is available for MorphOS in version 4.65 which includes bug fixes as well as higher speed.
The archive includes the command line based compressors 7za and 7zr as well as the complete source code, a Deficon, the script Compress7z for creating 7z-archives and an updated filetype which uses Chris Young's 68k-7z-XAD-client as standard application if you have copied it to LIBS:XAD/ before.
With the client you can use 7z-archives just like Read-only-directories which allows you to extract single files which is still not completely stable and which is a little bit slow.
