TunePal for Pocket PC Description

TunePal is a player/Archiver for .abc files. It runs on a any Windows Pocket PC 2002 or greater machine, including Windows Mobile 2005 such as a Dell Axim, or HP iPaq and allows you to play and search through thosands of tunes stored on the machine in seconds. It is useful for learning and sessions as you can adjust the tempo, volume and transponse tunes easily. There is also an older (unsupported) version that runs on a Psion Series 5/MX/Revo handheld computer which has much of the same functionality. There are two "Renderers" in PocketPC version of TunePal: The "beeps" renderer is the Default player and it playes tunes as basically beeps (sine waves). Its still an accurate rendering of the tune and plays roll's etc. The beeps player has its own parser for ABC files and it playes about 90% of the notation. It wont however support lots of advanced features such as key changes in the Middle of tunes , the bagpipe key etc etc. It has problems for example with the transcriptions of O'Neills Books that are available. I am not doing any further work on the "beeps" player. The "MIDI" renderer on the other hand uses the parser from ABC2MIDI and therefore will play probably every ABC file out there. It also uses the high quality Timididy MIDI Player and so you can play back your tune using any of the 128 general MIDI instruments. It sounds infinitely better than the beeps player. If you want to use the MIDI player though, you have to pay the registration fee of €10, $10 or £10 and I will email you a registration code to unlock this functionality. If you are a traditional musician, I strongly encourage you to get the registered version as the increased sound quality and ability to play transcriptions of O'Neills books are well worth the small registration fee.
