congratulations Vlad.
Thank you, Noble Sir Toto.
Will you make your SW available to the community?
Sure. Here is the player source and some random (although I'd prefer
much bigger and better) collection of tunes:
http://softjunk.org/sw/apple2/eld/eldplay.zip
The player is ANSI C, single small file, converting from stdin to
stdout. Example:
eldplay < electric_duet_file > file.wav
Two versions are provided.
"eldplay-oot.c" - the Out of Tune version, which uses same limited
pitches as in Electric Duet. Keen observers may have noticed that some
high notes are actually the same pitch because of insufficient accuracy.
"eldplay.c" - notes are translated to more precise equal-tempered scale,
sounds nicer.
Some history on this - I originally made it to be eventually included as
an Easter egg into a commercial product. In the end, I put a full
featured MOD player.
Last but not least - my personal respect to Paul Lutus. Electric Duet
and GraFORTH were part of my inspiration while growing as a kid.
