QUARTET PLAYER 3  by Dan Panke (92-05-29)


Use of QUARTET PLAYER 3 is almost self-explanitory. Just a few quick
instructions.

    1) QUARTET PLAYER 3 works in any resolution on an Atari ST or
    STe. Simply select your song and voice set via the file selector
    box and sit back and enjoy. To stop the music, press <SPACE>.

    NOTE: If your voice set has the same prefix as your song then
    the QUARTET PLAYER will not ask you for a VOICE SET. To bypass
    this (and select another VOICE SET) hold down any of the
    following keys when selecting your SONG: Control, Alternate or
    Shift.

    2) The files 'Q_PLAY3.PRG' and 'SINGSONG.DAT' must be in the same
    path.

    3) If you want a text file displayed with your song, create a
    text file, name it the same as your song file, but add a 'T' (for
    Text) after the .4V extender.

        Example:   HIPHOP.4V   (song file)
                   HIPHOP.4VT  (text file)

    This text file must also be in the same folder as your song file
    to be displayed.

NOTES:

    1) Should QUARTET PLAYER 3 lock up when playing a song this
    normally indicates that your song has a looping error within the
    song. The QUARTET program itself overcomes these errors but the
    SINGSONG.DAT does not.


    For a good selection of QUARTET SONGS and VOICE SETS, call the

UPDATES:

Version 3.21
    Turned the CAPSLOCK OFF before calling the file selector. Input
    made the QUARTET PLAYER believe the SHIFT key was held down and
    request a VOICE SET even though a matching SONG was selected.

Version 3.30
    Finally overcame the problem with multiple song plays. Everything
    appears to work like a charm!
