Beta 2.4 Release Notes:

• MultiConverter: Fixed a bug which prevented RGB to hex processing under certain conditions.

Beta 2.3 Release Notes:

• BlissShow: Hopefully fixed a file read related display sequence bug which prevented deletion of the active list file.

Beta 2.2 Release Notes:

• VideoBliss: Repeat function implemented.
• AutoCalendar: Option to run on boot implemented.

Beta 2.1 Release Notes:

• VideoBliss: Major overhaul of code and interface.
• Tone generator not yet implemented due to VideoBliss problems.

Beta 2.0 Release Notes:

• VideoBliss universal popup video player has been implemented, though not thoroughly tested.
• The correct cursor is now displayed in the bound text editor object.
• A tone generator utility is expected for the next build.

Beta 1.5 Release Notes:

• AutoCalendar: The timer function now refers to a 24-hour clock, so Memos can be launched at the appropriate times.
• AutoCalendar: Fixed some lingering flaky behavior in the timers.
• The bound object when in focus is no longer terminated by system command on Esc key. Unfortunately, the cursor has changed to an arrow instead of an I-bar. However, a fix for this is expected soon.

Beta 1.4.1 Release Notes:

• Fixed (hopefully) AutoCalendar Memos being run at program start even when they have already run.
• As yet still no solution to the bound object when in focus being terminated by system command on Esc key. It may require some low level code...

Beta 1.3 Release Notes:

• AutoCalendar: Worked around nuisance text bug.

• An AutoCalendar has been implemented!

Beta 1.1 Release Notes:

Bliss Players

Custom interfaces for the Multimedia Builder Player.

BlissPlayer VX-1 v. 0.2

Audio player supports several formats (including Vorbis) and features special visualization functions.

BlissTrax MP3 Mixer beta 1.12

A basic 8-channel MP3 audio mixer project. Requires a reasonably fast processor and ActiveMovie MCI driver (mciqtz.drv) installed with Layer-3 audio support. Extract the archive anywhere and run BlissTrax.exe

Sample Files

An excerpt from "Can't Let Go" to demonstrate and test the functionality of the BlissTrax mixer. When opening the mix file, the program will most likely find an error in the paths to the files on your machine. Simply choose to browse for the files and save the mix file with the revised paths.

Bliss Player 3.01

v. 3.01 of the MPEG audio player sports great new features and more refined code. Download, unpack anywhere, run Player.exe. Requires DirectSound.

Soundz

Assorted little .mp3 files from various movies and tv shows, plus two playlists. Place the contents of the archive in the BlissPlayerXX folder.

CD Bliss

Full-featured yet compact CD player, bearing the Bliss hallmark functional elegance of design.

Other BlissWarez

BlissWarez Spectrum Analyzer

Five-range frequency spectrum analyzer.

BlissEnc

Front end for the Fraunhofer fastenc layer-3 encoder. Written entirely in iBasic. Extract the archive to your fastenc directory.

Even if you don't work with SoundFonts or don't know what they are for that matter, you can download the source and perhaps integrate some ideas into your own projects. It is far more practical if you also have the compiled SF2Cgui package (see above) in order to refer to the directory structure.

JavaScript 1.1

Remote Search Engine

Designed as a sort of patch for the Blisslanddeluxe CD-ROM Vol. 1 Ed. 1. It works remotely to search an internal database, and points to files on the disc. Later releases of Vol. 1 incorporated the search feature, but the most interesting features of this design then became superfluous. Without the CD, of course, the links won't point to any existing documents, but you can see all the inner and outer workings. This package includes the JSPlayer and the Manual.

Multimedia Builder was used to assemble Blisslanddeluxe Vol. 2.

JSPlayer LiveAudio plug-in front end

The Bliss Player .mp3 player interface designs evolved from this. As you may know, JavaScript can be pretty flaky, especially when it gets complex. You'll most likely get best results with Navigator 3.x. Even so, the thing behaves unpredictably. It is the nature of the beast. Requires Netscape Navigator 3.x or later with LiveAudio plug-in installed, or other compatible browser.

Manual

The Search package includes this manual but the JSPlayer does not.

MPEG Layer-3 Audio Encoders

MPEG Layer-3 Producer

v. 1.1.0.1 of this program from Fraunhofer, the originators, includes GUI and one of the best layer-3 codecs available for encoding bitrates up to 128 kbps.

fastenc

A more recent command line encoder by Fraunhofer.

Razor Lame

Installation file includes v. 3.92 of LAME, along with the Razor Lame GUI. LAME will tend to deliver more high end clarity than the Fraunhofers, at the expense of accurate low end extension.

BladeEnc

Encode .mp3 up to 320 kbps for outstanding fidelity.

RazorBlade

RazorBlade GUI for BladeEnc allows control of all parameters.
