MU-01: Ad Lib / Sound Blaster
The music and programs in this section require either the Ad Lib or the Sound
Blaster or compatible music cards. See Retail Products for Ad Lib compatible
music cards from PsL, as well as other music cards and multimedia systems.
The Ad Lib card comes with software for playing the ROL (music) files on these
disks. "Compatible" cards may not include such software, in which case you
will need PsL's disk #9011, "Ad Lib Compatible Start-Up Disk." It has all the
software you need to play ROL files, plus a sampling of ROL files to play.

Sound
Takessian, Alex
$0
#2388
is primarily for playing music files from the Amiga, Mac and Atari through the
IBM's internal speaker. It will also play Sound Blaster digitized files, and, we
discovered, Sound Blaster will play most/all of these sound files after using
SB's VOCHDR to put the proper header info on them.
Sound files on other machines are used to liven up the system. Sounds clips on
a Mac can actually be substituted for system beeps, so that instead of hearing
"Beep" when you type something wrong, you can hear, for example, HAL saying
"I'm sorry Dave; I just can't do that."
Naturally, the PC's internal speaker is no match for the sound quality of the
Sound Blaster, and a few of the files may not sound good at all on the PC. In
those few cases, we left them on the disks because they sound good with Sound
Blaster.
In addition to the SOUND program, this disk (#2388) contains the following
sound files: Belch-1, BigBuzz, Biscuit, GQ, MakMyDay, Morning, Scotty, and
Yell. We have added several disks of sounds from our Mac library, and will add
more in the future.

7232/2389 Sounds #1 Small Programs Disk

Note: These sounds, which are mainly clips from movies and TV shows, can be

Drum Blaster
Epic MegaGames ASP
$15-$30
#4433
turns your PC into a professional sounding drum pad with 40 killer digitized
drum and sound effects at your command. You can tap out rhythms by pressing the
keys, and it can also play CMF music files in the background. A synthesizer mode
turns the top row of letter keys into a music keyboard.
An amusing animated drummer and keyboard player are displayed at the top of the
screen. Several sample music files are included. While this will work in a
limited capacity on a regular PC speaker, a Sound Blaster compatible card is
highly recommended. Requires 512K RAM, EGA/VGA with at least 256K video memory,
and a hard drive or high density floppy drive.

Sweelinck. This is a beautifully done set of organ arrangements on five disks.

MIDI to AdLib Conversions
Patch Panel Software
$0
#3116
is a collection of 49 Ad Lib music files that have been converted from MIDI
files. The set, which unarchives to over 800k, is almost entirely classical
with some Christmas music. The arrangements are pretty extensive, for the most
part, with several of the ROL files being over 50k, but the piano was the only
instrument used (easily changed, for those with Visual Composer) and no volume
variations are included - everything is at 1.0 all the way. A utility to
convert MIDI-to-ROL is available from Patch Panel Software.
Musician I
DigiMus Ky
$25-$50
#3117
allows you to write music for/with the Sound Blaster (or Ad Lib card, it
appears) using a graphical notes-on-a-staff approach from either the
computer keyboard or a MIDI keyboard through the Sound Blaster MIDI
Connector Box or from a graphical keyboard that appears in a corner of
the screen.
The program's features are very impressive, but the documentation is
sketchy. Also, the data files are not compatible with Ad Lib ROL format,
so the two cannot be interchanged. Nevertheless, we highly recommend
this program to SB/Ad Lib(?) owners. (The authors can no longer be
reached at the address provided in the documentation.)

Speech Digitizer
Jones, Alan D.
$0
#1439
contains a schematic and parts list for building a speech digitizer, along with
programs to record and play back, including assembler source code, and an
explanation of the theory involved. A sample recording of "Daisy" (a.k.a.:
HAL's theme song from the movie "2001") demonstrates the fidelity that can be
expected. The sound is noisy, but very distinct and natural sounding.

$25

is a set of programs that allow you to manage and play back many different types
of digitized sound files on a variety of different devices. All conversions are

the Sound Blaster.

the original beep sound.

Sound Master, Sound Blaster, AdLib Music Card, Disney Sound Source and any other
Digital to Analog Converter.

a very comprehensive sound package, and includes enhanced support for DESQview.
A hard disk or high density floppy is required.
Ahmed Alobayed, Saudi Arabia: "I sent a check for $35 to register Sputter, but
never received the registered disk, despite an expensive call to the author."
