- Short: 8SVX sample player, handles files > mem
-
- PlayFile is a CLI based command which plays IFF 8SVX and RAW samples
- straight from disk. It does not load the entire sample and so does not
- waste memory. This program was designed to play files from hard disks or
- other quick access storage devices. It will not work off stiffy drives at
- any speed over 10000 samples per second.
-
- Usage: PlayFile [-options] [samples per second/period] <FileName>
-
- The options are as follows:
- -F Filter on
- -f Filter off
-
- -S Volume and Pitch Slide
- -x Immune to Right Mouse Button
-
- -s Stereo
- -m Mono
-
- -l Audio Channel 0 (left)
- -r Audio Channel 1 (right)
- -R Audio Channel 2 (right)
- -L Audio Channel 3 (left)
-
- Volume and Pitch Slide
- This doesn't really serve any purpose, but I put it in anyway. All it does
- is sets the volume proportional to the vertical coordinate of the mouse and
- the period to the horizontal coordinate.
-
- Right Button Immunisation
- Without -x the right mouse button will stop PlayFile.
-
- Audio Channels
- The audio channel selection may be followed by a volume ranging from 00 to
- 64. If no volume is given the default is 64. NB Must be a two digit
- value.
-
- Using multi-tasking it is possible to play more than one sample from disk
- at a time depending on the speed of your hard drive and play back speed. If
- you try this make sure that you use different audio channels.
-
- Stereo/Mono
- This play routine will sense whether the sample is stereo or not, and will
- play it as such. This can however be overriden by these two options
-
- The default options are -l64r64.
-
- Period/Samples per Second
- If no value is given here the speed is read from the sample which must then
- be an IFF 8SVX sample. If the value is lower than 2000 it is taken to be a
- period value which is calculated as follows:
-
- clock constant
- Period Value = --------------------
- samples per second
-
- where clock constant = 3546985 for PAL
- 3579545 for NTSC
