ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON SOUND BLASTER
1. SET SOUND ENVIRONMENT
To help certain Sound Blaster software, such as VOXKIT and FMORGAN,
to locate their driver, you must enter following line at DOS prompt:
(assuming that your Sound Blaster software is installed in Drive C:)
SET SOUND=C:\SB
If your Sound Blaster software is installed in other drive, just
change "C:" in the line to other drive name.
You may add above line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
Refer to your DOS manual for more information on using the
"SET" command.
2. New Programs
A. PLAYCMF.EXE
PLAYCMF.EXE is a FM music player program that plays ".CMF" music
files.
Before running PLAYCMF.EXE, you must first load Sound Blaster's FM
Music Driver - SBFMDRV.COM.
SBFMDRV.COM is a memory resident driver that is found in the root
directory of the FM Intelligent Organ Disk. It is copied to the \SB
sub-directory.
Usage:
PLAYCMF music-filename [/Q] [/S="command-line"]
Where:
"music-file" is the .CMF file to play
/Q : set quiet screen mode
/S : execute the DOS command-line specified.
You may play a music in the background and use the "/S=" paramter to
"Shell" to execute another program.
We enclosed some .CMF songs for you as samplers. Watch out for more
.CMF songs, Sing-Alongs and other applications that are coming on the
way.
B. VSR.EXE
This program generates a new voice file with a different sampling
rate from the original.
Usage: VSR source-filename target-filename /Rnn [/Pnn] [/O]
where: /Rnn : nn is the new sampling rate in percentage
/Pnn : nn is the I/O port address, 210, 220....260
/O : to output the voice after the change
eg. VSR frogs.voc new.voc /R120
C. TRIM.EXE
This program trims the leading and trailing silence of a voice file.
Usage: TRIM source-filename target-filename [/Tnn]
where: /Tnn : nn is the treshold value (T=2 by default)
eg. TRIM tv4.voc newtv4.voc
3. CUSTOMIZING PARROT - Creating PARROT Pictures
The PARROT.EXE program works in the EGA 320x200x16 colors mode. You
need to create 4 .PCX pictures files as follows:
PARROT.E0 - Parrot with mouth closed
PARROT.E1 - Parrot with mouth openned
PARROT.E2 - Parrot with mouth wide openned
PARROT.E3 - Parrot with eyes closed
You may use any PCX paint program, but ENSURE that it is set to the
EGA 320x200x16 colors mode or select this EGA mode driver even if you
are using a VGA card.
(Refer to manual for Creating PARROT voices)
