File Menu File #1 File #2 File #3 File #4 File #5 File #6 File #7 File #8 File #9 File #10 1 Help (Alt-H) EXE\Help NONSINHERIT NOTEMPINHERIT NOCLEAR ALL NOPAUSE NOBEEP Help In order to highlight a menu entry, use the keypad or the mouse. The PgUp key brings you to the top of the list, End to the bottom (Close command); the Up and Down Arrow keys step you through it. To execute a highlighted command, click the Left mouse button or hit Enter. Command line parameters are typed in from the keyboard, DOS-fashion. Function keys F1-F10 give current parameters (press Alt and F1-F10 for a list). Alt-H gives help for the highlighted menu entry. To leave the WAVmaker File Menu, press Esc, click the Right mouse button or execute the Close command. Execute the Help command (hit Enter) for extensive online help. The WAVmaker menu system (including this text) is user-configurable. See online help for details! \ MID Directory EXE\ReadDir NONSINHERIT TEMPINHERIT MID\*.MID NOCLEAR ALL NOPAUSE NOBEEP ReadDir Browse a listing of the default MID directory (exit with Esc or Right mouse button). This is the directory where MID files are usually kept. \ LST Directory EXE\ReadDir NONSINHERIT TEMPINHERIT LST\*.LST NOCLEAR ALL NOPAUSE NOBEEP ReadDir Browse a listing of the default LST directory (exit with Esc or Right mouse button). This is the directory where LST (WM playlist) files are usually kept. \ Song Directory EXE\ReadDir NONSINHERIT TEMPINHERIT Song\*.WAV NOCLEAR ALL NOPAUSE NOBEEP ReadDir Browse a listing of the default song directory (exit with Esc or Right mouse button). This is the directory where files produced by LSTtoWAV are usually kept. \ PRG Directory EXE\ReadDir NONSINHERIT TEMPINHERIT PRG\*.PRG NOCLEAR ALL NOPAUSE NOBEEP ReadDir Browse a listing of the default PRG directory (exit with Esc or Right mouse button). This is the directory where the default PRG files are kept. PRG files describe the "keyboards" played by MIDoWAV: they assign samples to keys and contain various performance parameters (envelope shape, velocity sensitivity, modulation etc.). You can modify them (or create new ones from scratch) using PRGed. [PRG files are NOT free format, so although you can modify them with any text editor, you should not do so unless you know EXACTLY what you are doing.] PRG files are numbered according to the General MIDI (GM) specification, from 0 to 127. Filenames beginning with a "D", as in D36, denote drum sets (see the LSTtoWAV /drums option). If you do a lot of PRGramming, consider creating a new directory for your PRGs, separate from the default directory. \ WAV Directory EXE\ReadDir NONSINHERIT TEMPINHERIT WAV\*.WAV NOCLEAR ALL NOPAUSE NOBEEP ReadDir Browse a listing of the default WAV directory (exit with Esc or Right mouse button). This is the directory where the default sample files used by LSTtoWAV (and PRGed) are kept. If you do a lot of sampling, DSP and/or wave editing, you should probably create a new directory for your samples, separate from the default directory. \ DFT Directory EXE\ReadDir NONSINHERIT TEMPINHERIT DFT\*.DFT NOCLEAR ALL NOPAUSE NOBEEP ReadDir Browse a listing of the default DFT directory (exit with Esc or Right mouse button). This is the directory where compressed sample files are kept. DFT files must be expanded using DFTtoWAV before they can be used. Since expansion takes time and WAVs can easily eat up a lot of disk space, you will probably want to use DFTtoWAV only as the need arises. You may also want to try compressing your own WAVs using WAVtoDFT, but keep in mind that not all sounds are suited for this. WAVtoDFT and DFTtoWAV work best with single instrument notes, where they beat generic compression systems like MPEG hands down. Other kinds of samples (e.g. speach) may not be handled equally well. \ Temp Directory EXE\ReadDir NONSINHERIT TEMPINHERIT Temp\*.WAV NOCLEAR ALL NOPAUSE NOBEEP ReadDir Browse a sorted listing of the temporary file directory (exit wih Esc or Right mouse button). This is the directory where WAVmaker puts files created for its internal use and the place where PRGed should be instructed to put temporary WAV files created for use with an external player. It is also the recommended site for DSP and file conversion operations. \ Song\ to Temp\ Copy EXE\SngToTmp NONSINHERIT TEMPINHERIT DOSBOX ALL NOPAUSE NOBEEP SngToTmp Copy file(s) in the Song\ directory to the Temp\ directory. Usage: SngToTmp <source> [<destination>] The default extension is WAV. \ Temp\ to Song\ Copy EXE\TmpToSng NONSINHERIT TEMPINHERIT DOSBOX ALL NOPAUSE NOBEEP TmpToSng Copy file(s) in the Temp\ directory to the Song\ directory. Usage: TmpToSng <source> [<destination>] The default extension is WAV. \ WAV\ to Temp\ Copy EXE\WAVtoTmp NONSINHERIT TEMPINHERIT DOSBOX ALL NOPAUSE NOBEEP WAVtoTmp Copy file(s) in the WAV\ directory to the Temp\ directory. Usage: WAVtoTmp <source> [<destination>] The default extension is WAV. \ Temp\ to WAV\ Copy EXE\TmpToWAV NONSINHERIT TEMPINHERIT DOSBOX ALL NOPAUSE NOBEEP TmpToWAV Copy file(s) in the Temp\ directory to the WAV\ directory.
