We have gathered user feedback after releasing DigiRoller 1.1, the player and renderer of DigiBooster 3 and DigiBoosterPro 2.x music modules. The new, 1.2 version has most of suggested features implemented and a reported bug fixed. The program is also translated to Spanish now. Read more for list of changes.

Once there were two computer clubs. The APC and the TCP. 20 years back (if anyone knows the exact date, please report), these two computer clubs joined together. Within a very short period of time, APC & TCP computer club, with nearly 500 members, grew up to one of the biggest Amiga clubs in Germany. APC&TCP then brought out one of the most common Amiga floppy magazines. The Amiga Fire and the follower Nocover. Since many programmers were a member, it was easy to distribute own software. To this end, in May 1992, the APC&TCP-distribution founded a trade partnership (Gbr.).

The English and German issue 96 (May/June 2012) of the print magazine Amiga Future has been distributed today, and can also be ordered directly from the editorial office of Amiga Future, and the other Amiga dealers that stock the magazine.

From the issue 94 the Amiga Future magazines will be printed in full colour.

DigiRoller is a standalone replayer for DigiBooster Pro 2.x and DigiBooster 3 music modules. Version 1.1 contains the latest replayer engine featuring AHI-independent DSP echo effect. It is backward compatible with old echo ("V", "W", "X", "Y" and "Z" commands are fully supported), but the effect is processed inside the engine, so it is always active. Echo in AHI may be safely turned off. Additional feature of the new echo (which will be used in DigiBooster 3) is a new echo mode (command "V2"), where each track can have independent echo parameters. Another new feature is phase assisted stereo panoraming. Positioning instruments with not only amplitude, but also small phase shifts improves the music experience.

DigiRoller 1.1 includes other improvements in the replayer as well: working sample offsets (commands "9" and "E7") and fixes to "B" and "D" commands. DigiRoller is a free program and may be downloaded from the DigiBooster site http://www.digiboosterpro.de .
