BELTOWER BELTOWERBeltower PlayerThe player has been superseded by BelTutor, which includes the player. The Player is no longer being improved or maintained, since the release of BelTutor with Beltower v11.04, but it is still available here for the time-being. Striking recordings can be shared widely and replayed/analysed with the player. Beltower Player is a stand-alone application which can be freely downloaded and re-distributed. Recordings of up to 16 bells, up to 50,000 rows, including free-strike mode, can be played and displayed in the striking report. You can amend the bell sounds and the call and method voices, play-back on the front 6, back 6 or whichever, and you can also output to MIDI, the same as in Beltower. See Re-Playing and Assessing your Striking Screen Shot 1shows imperfect striking with the 2 and 3 striking particularly poorly, up to 70% out, and the fault assessment of the band as a whole. It also shows the play-back cursor on the current row, and the row number in the status bar. The blue and black numbers indicate the independent hand/back strokes of each strike. |
