- WAVmaker 1.0 - Evaluation Package
- ─────────────────────────────────
-
- WAVmaker is a complete Music & Digital Audio system featuring CD quality
- MID -> WAV rendering, tons of Digital Signal Processing functions (mix,
- maximize, fade, gate, compress/enhance, low/high/band/notch filter, ring
- modulation, vocoder, reverse, echo, reverb, flange, chorus, extend, cut/
- gated cut) and MIDI analysis/manipulation. Several audio file format
- converters are also included. Creative Labs Sound Blasters are fully
- supported; other sound cards can easily be added to the customizable User
- Interface. All engines may be run from the User Interface or from DOS
- (including shell programs and BAT files). Full on-line, hypertextual
- documentation is included.
-
- WAVmaker is shareware. What you have received is the WAVmaker Evaluation
- Package, which comes with a subset of the full General MIDI patch/sample
- library delivered upon registration. An awesome sound data packer/
- unpacker (included) allows sound file distribution on ordinary 3.5" HD
- disks. You won't believe your ears!
-
- The Evaluation Package may be distributed freely for evaluation purposes.
- Full distribution and registration information is in the on-line docs.
-
- SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: 286+ (386+ recommended). FPU recommended. 4+ MB RAM
- (8+ MB RAM recommended). XMS (e.g. HIMEM.SYS). 5+ MB
- free hard disk space (10+ MB recommended). Disk cache
- (e.g. SMARTDRV.SYS) recommended. EGA+ (SVGA for nice
- title screen :-). Color monitor. MS compatible mouse
- (with driver). DOS 3.3+ (DOS 5.0+ recommended). High
- quality sound card (16 bits/44.1 kHz/stereo) strongly
- recommended.
-
- WAVmaker is a DOS program. It will not run reliably under Windows.
-
- If at all possible, use a good amplifier/speaker system (not pitiful PC
- gamer's speakers) to fully enjoy WAVmaker's CD quality output.
-
- INSTALLATION: Run INSTALL.EXE.
-
- Note: WAVmaker is packaged using Info-ZIP's compression utility. The
- installation program uses UnZip to decompress the distribution
- files. Info-ZIP's software (Zip, UnZip and related utilities) is
- free and can be obtained as source code or executables from many
- anonymous-FTP sites, including ftp.uu.net:/pub/archiving/zip/*.
-
- If DOS reports insufficient environment space at WAVmaker startup, you
- should increase the environment size reserved with the SHELL directive in
- CONFIG.SYS. See your DOS manual for details. Note that some shell programs
- do not use the COMSPEC variable in order to locate the command processor.
- Such programs will not be affected by the SHELL directive. If you are using
- such a program and are experiencing environment size problems, you'll have
- to shut it down before starting up WAVmaker. This will allow DOS to use the
- environment size specified in the SHELL directive.
-
- WARNING: Do NOT run the subprogram WM DFT2WAV with an unresolved environment
- size problem if you have a DPMI server installed on your system and/
- or if you do not have a hardware FPU!
