Why 'Paula?' Paula plays the so-called ModFiles. These ModFiles, also called modules, originate from the Amiga which has a special four-channel PCM soundchip called Paula. What does Paula? To avoid a rather lengthy description, here is a short list with Paula's features: 1. Internal: - Compatible to really all MOD-formats, ranging from old SoundTracker format to the new ProTracker format. - Two sampling frequencies are available: 22 and 44 KHz. - Linear interpolation option giving a great improvement in sound quality. - Booster option, rising the S/N ratio by 6 dB. - Completely independent pitch and speed tuning. - Supports LZ5 or AFX compressed modules. 2. User interface: - Programmable like a simple CD player. - random play of several modules. - one module or a whole selection may be repeated. - CPU Load and position display. New in version 1.0a: - some bugs fixed. - Edit and Services menus implemented. - ModFile Directory now configurable. - play list shows either modnames or filenames. - included a tool to convert mod.* filenames.
