Detailed Description

Function Documentation

mmActive()

mm_bool mmActive

(

void

)

Used to determine if a module is playing.

Returns

Nonzero if a module is currently playing.

mmActiveSub()

mm_bool mmActiveSub

(

void

)

Check if a jingle is playing or not.

Returns

Returns nonzero if a jingle is actively playing.

mmJingle()

void mmJingle

(

mm_word

module_ID

)

Plays a jingle.

Jingles are normal modules that can be mixed with the normal module playback.

For DS, the module must be loaded into memory first (mmLoad).

Note that jingles must be limited to 4 channels only.

Parameters

module_ID

Index of module to be played. (Defined in soundbank header)

mmPause()

void mmPause

(

void

)

Pauses playback of the active module.

Resume with mmResume().

DS Note: The DS hardware channels do not allow actual pausing. To implement pausing, Maxmod sets the channel frequencies to the minimal value (256Hz). This may cause some problems with certain samples (such as drum-loops) drifting out of sync with the song temporarily. This is not an issue with the interpolated audio mode since the channels are fed by software.

mmPlayModule()

void mmPlayModule	(	mm_word	address,
		mm_word	mode,
		mm_word	layer
	)

Play direct MAS file.

Parameters

address	TODO
mode	TODO
layer	TODO

mmPosition()

void mmPosition

(

mm_word

position

)

Set the current sequence [aka order-list] position for the active module.

Parameters

position

New position in module sequence.

mmResume()

void mmResume

(

void

)

Resume module playback.

Pause with mmPause().

mmSetJingleVolume()

void mmSetJingleVolume

(

mm_word

volume

)

Use this function to change the master volume scale for jingle playback.

Parameters

volume

New volume level. Ranges from 0 (silent) to 1024 (normal).

mmSetModuleVolume()

void mmSetModuleVolume

(

mm_word

volume

)

Use this function to change the master volume scale for module playback.

Parameters

volume

New volume level. Ranges from 0 (silent) to 1024 (normal).

mmStart()

void mmStart	(	mm_word	module_ID,
		mm_pmode	mode
	)

Begins playback of a module.

For DS, the module must be loaded into memory first (mmLoad).

Parameters

module_ID	Index of module to be played. Values are defined in the soundbank header output. (prefixed with "MOD_")
mode	Mode of playback. Can be MM_PLAY_LOOP (play and loop until stopped manually) or MM_PLAY_ONCE (play until end).

mmStop()

void mmStop

(

void

)

Stops playback of the active module.

Start again (from the beginning) with mmStart().

Any channels used by the active module will be freed.
