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. 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 PRG 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!

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 MIDtoLST /drums option).
If you do a lot of PRGramming, consider creating a
new directory for your PRGs, separate from the
default directory.

Browse a listing of the default WAV directory (exit

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.

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.

PRGed
Full screen editor for PRG files.
Usage: PRGed [<filename>]
The filename may be left out. If no
extension is specified, the default PRG
is used.
PRG and WAV files are assumed to be in the
default paths specified in Temp\PRGed.INI,
where the names of the default external
player and of the temporary wave file used
by it are also kept. If this file is not
found, the defaults are PRG\, WAV\,
WAVplay.BAT and Temp\Temp.WAV, respectively.
Options: /PRG <directory> (alternate PRG directory)
/WAV <directory> (alternate WAV directory)

DFTtoWAV
Expand a compressed DFT file to a playable WAV file.
WARNING: This is the slow, real mode (16 bit/XMS)
version. Use DFT2WAV if you have a 386 or
better.
Usage: DFTtoWAV <source> [<destination>]
If no destination file is specified, the
source filename is used.
Extensions are optional. The default types
are DFT and WAV, respectively. The default
directories are DFT\ and WAV\.
Options: /DFT <source directory>

Extensions are optional. The default types
are DFT and WAV, respectively. The default
directories are DFT\ and WAV\.
Options: /DFT <source directory>
/WAV <destination directory>
/q (quiet mode: no screen output)
Note: This is the fast, protected mode (32 bit)
version. Use DFTtoWAV only if DFT2WAV won't
run properly.

Extensions are optional. The default types
are WAV and DFT, respectively. The default
directories are WAV\ and DFT\.
Options: /DFT <source directory>
/WAV <destination directory>
/r <resolution> (0-65535)
/q (quiet mode: no screen output)
(/r sets the resolution in parts of 65535.
Lower values give better quality. Default
is /r 2).

Play a WAV file.

Notes: WAVmaker is initially set up to call WM
SBWAV (WAV player for Sound Blaster cards).
You can easily change this if you want to
use another player. See Help (press Alt-H)
for details.
With WM SBWAV, Space bar and Left mouse
button pause/resume playback; Esc key and
Right mouse button abort it.
