Sample Rate/Channels

In normal use, the Catalog will use ".wav" soundfiles. When ".wav" files are used, this menu item is ignored, and the Catalog sets the sample rate and channels based on the information in the ".wav" files.
The Catalog is also capable of playing Red Book Audio files, and when they are used, the sample rate and channels are set by this menu item.

Devices

The Devices menu allows you to assign the driver for your audio card, and the driver for your MIDI card, if you are using one.
