PlayMate 0.1

- A general purpose instrument tuner and metronome for AmigaOS -

Written by Juha Niemimäki, 2006


Requirements:

- AmigaOS 4
- MUI
- AHI

Main features:

- Configurable tuner profiles, note range A0 - C8 (27.5 Hz ... 4186.01 Hz)
- Adjustable beats per minute (30-360) and beats per measure values (1-9)
- Lua 5.1 powered configuration support


Adding new tuning profiles

1) open file "scripts/profiles.lua" in a text editor
2) study the given example profiles
3) a profile consists of name and strings
4) an example:

{
    name = "Middle-C",
    strings =
    {
    	"C4"
    }
}

would create a new 1-string profile called "Middle-C". Note markings such as
sharp "#" and flat "b" are supported. Note name must be in big case ("C").

After editing, you must restart the application to enable modifications.


Background

There are some older tuner programs for AmigaOS but they didn't fulfill my needs
so I wrote my own. It was also nice to test Lua, the scripting language.


Future

Metronome features (and sound) are currently a bit lacking. Also the tuner lacks
a free tuning option. I wish to improve them later, well, depends also on
the feedback :)
