- ■ For the latest version of SuperSonic and for information about
- SuperSonic Pro, please visit our internet home page at:
- http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/mortonsoftware
-
- ■ Currently, SuperSonic includes sound drivers for the following
- sound cards and compatibles:
-
- * SoundBlaster /2.00/2.01/Pro/16/Awe32
- * ProAudio Spectrum /Plus/16
- * Windows Sound System 1.x/2.x
- * ESS 688 Audiodrive Chipset
-
- 90% of sound cards on the market are compatible with one or
- more of these drivers. For example, the Ensoniq Soundscape is
- compatible with both the SoundBlaster and the Windows Sound
- System. At the date of this release, we're working on drivers
- for the following sound cards:
-
- * Gravis UltraSound/Max
- * Roland Rap-10
- * Digital Audio Labs CardD/CardD+
-
- If your sound card isn't supported in this release, please
- visit our internet home page for the latest release.
-
- ■ If your sound card is BOTH SoundBlaster and Windows Sound
- System compatible such as the Ensoniq Soundscape, Reveal
- sound cards, and lots of others, we recommend that you use
- one of the Windows Sound System drivers. Most likely, mixer
- support will be present only in Windows Sound System mode.
- You may need to specifically select Windows Sound System
- mode using a utility provided with your sound card. Consult
- your sound card manual for more information. If you decide
- to use one of the SoundBlaster drivers, see next note below.
-
- ■ If your sound card isn't a true SoundBlaster but it is
- SoundBlaster compatible and you select one of the SoundBlaster
- drivers, the mixer device may not work. (Some SoundBlaster
- compatible cards have a unique mixer.) If this is the case,
- you'll need to use the mixer program that came with your sound
- card for adjusting volume levels. (Windows 95 users can use
- the Multimedia / Volume Control program.) Before executing
- SuperSonic, be sure to set recording volume levels for the Cd,
- External, and Microphone channels at their maximum setting so
- that SuperSonic can record/monitor these audio sources. Also,
- be sure to select one or more of these channels for recording
- mode. (Windows 95 users can run the Volume Control program
- located in the Multimedia menu. Select Properties from the
- Options menu. Select Adjust Volume for Recording and press
- OK. Click on Select for the Cd, External, and Microphone
- channels and set their levels at maximum.)
-
- ■ Windows 3.x users must exit Windows before running SuperSonic.
-
- ■ Windows 95 users, please note: You shouldn't experience any
- problems when executing SuperSonic from Windows 95. However,
- if you do, try restarting your computer in DOS mode and then
- executing SuperSonic. This may help you isolate the problem.
-
- ■ SuperSonic has context sensitive help! Press and HOLD DOWN
- the right mouse button on any button/slider/display and
- detailed information will display until you RELEASE the
- right mouse button.
-
- ■ All of SuperSonic's support programs also include context
- sensitive help. Press F1 at any time and you'll get detailed
- information about the currently selected option.
-
- ■ SuperSonic currently has a total of eight distinct rack mount
- devices. However, only 4 or 5 can fit on screen at one time.
- Therefore, to scroll the display up or down, use the device
- up/dn arrow keys located on the left of each device.
-
- ■ SuperSonic is extremely customizable. All devices can be
- repainted and resized to your liking. All displays, buttons,
- sliders, etc. within a device can be resized, repositioned,
- and repainted. You can also create custom 256 color cursors.
- See Appendix B - Advanced Information.
-
- ■ If you've got any great ideas of new devices and/or features
- you would like to see us add, please call or write us. See
- program manual cover for our phone number, postal mail, and
- email addresses.
-
- ■ SuperSonic Pro is coming soon!!! It will include some very
- powerful features for audio professionals:
-
- * Disc Jockey System: Allows an unlimited number of items
- to be queue'd for playback. Items can include cd tracks,
- samples and external audio sources such as tape players,
- cd changers, voice, live band, satellite feeds, etc. A
- variety of switches can be placed between items (eg. fade
- out old while fade in new). Powerful queue controls will
- allow queue's to be created, saved, loaded, and inserted
- into an existing queue. Manual switches between queue
- items will also be supported plus queue logging and
- recording of manual switch times for a perfect playback
- of a previous d.j. session. This system will provide a
- powerful software based alternative to small radio stations,
- professional and home disc jockeys.
-
- * Calibrated spectrum/peak analyzers with all of the features
- found on professional rack-mount analyzers, plus lots more.
- Select standard 1/3, 1/2, 2/3 octave band split or create
- your own by specifying number of bands and individual band
- frequency range. Specify octave or band gain level. View
- realtime dB level (and other information) for any or all
- bands. Save and load up to 12 of your favorite band setups.
-
- That's all! We hope you like SuperSonic and we're interested in
- your comments, suggestions and criticisms!
