Gravis Ultrasound Sample Player
Beta Version 30-Dec-1992
by Norman Yen
The following files should have been in this archive.
PLAYSAM.DOC - The file you are reading now
PLAYSAM.EXE - Program to play samples
BEAT - Sample
ORCHHIT - Sample
This is the product of experimentation and is in no way meant to
be a professional developement project. All routines used to access the
Gravis Ultrasound originated from the Ultradox written by Tran of Renaissance
and Joshua Jensen. This program is written entirely in Turbo Pascal.
You should find two samples in this archive, BEAT and ORCHHIT.
You can try these two out with the program to see if the program is running
properly. You can play ORCHHIT without any special parameters, but the
BEAT sample needs to have a two's complement value of 128. When loading
samples into the DRAM, the program will not check if the file is larger
than the amount of memory on the sound card. If it is larger, the data
will loop back to the beginning of DRAM on the card overwritting any data
that was previously loaded.
There are two methods of loading the samples for playing. The default
method is to load the sample into the computer's memory and then copy that
into the DRAM on the Ultrasound. The other method is to directly load the
sample into the Ultrasound DRAM, this is useful for loading in large samples
that will not fit into the amount of memory you have available on your
computer.
Here are some briend instructions to use with the player. You can
also display these options by just typing in PLAYSAM without any extra
parameters.
USAGE: PLAYSAM <options> filename

-D Direct load from file to DRAM
