Short: GadTools audio mixer for Prelude
Uploader: Thomas Wenzel (tom@toms-home.de)
Author: Thomas Wenzel (tom@toms-home.de)
Type: util/cdity
Version: 2.3
Minimum requirements
--------------------
prelude.library 5.1
AmigaOS 3.0
Introduction
------------
Prelude Mixer is a commodity that lets you control, save and restore the
settings of Prelude's onboard audio mixer.
It should be quite obvious how it works, so I'll only explain the tricky
parts :-)
History
-------
v2.3 - Added: AREXX commands (VOLUP, VOLDOWN, MUTE, HIDE and QUIT)
v2.2 - Added: Prelude volume boost support
v2.1 - Fixed: Mixer didn't set SMALL-IRQ correctly on startup.
- Fixed: Mono slider was the wrong way round ... oops :-)
- Added: Better error checking when loading the prefs-file
v2.0 - New release
AREXX
-----
Ever wanted to use your PC 'Multimedia Keyboard' to control the master
volume of your Amiga soundsystem? Now you can! All you need is one of those
modern keyboards with extra function keys, this version of the Prelude mixer
control commodity and Guido Mersmann's MMKeyboard adapter! It's available
on Aminet:hard/hack/MMKeyboard.lha and contains all the schematics and
binaries needed to build one. As an example how to configure your system
you can load the file MMKey-Prelude.prefs into MMKeyboardPrefs. This file
was made for v1.12 which doesn't have the ability to directly send AREXX
commands yet. Instead I've implemented them as CLI commands, e.g.
Rx "Address Mixer VOLUP"
Tips
----
The tooltype INIT determines if the mixer will soft reset the Prelude upon
startup. Normally you should set it to INIT=yes.
If no config file (or an old, incompatible one) is found in ENVARC, a
requester will pop up and you have to adjust all settings (again) and
save them using the menu Project->Save or by pressing Amiga-S.
Edit->RESET CARD resets the Prelude and should only be executed if a
serious problem occured so that normal record or playback operation isn't
possible any more.
Edit->SMALL IRQ is new. When selected, less data will be transferred from
and to the Prelude during each interrupt, causing more but shorter
interrupts. This settings should solve the problem with data loss on
serial interfaces without FIFOs. Changing this setting will automatically
cause a soft RESET. Be sure that no other program is using the Prelude
when you change it!
Edit->Volume Boost will amplify the overall output volume by 3 dB.
You can use the tooltypes LINETEXT, AUX1TEXT, etc. to configure the labels
above each slider. The maximum text length for each label is 9 characters.
