- Clarification Gadgets and Functions
- =========================================================================
- Nr. 0 : With this GadGet (Close-GadGet) you can remove SoundController
- from the current screen, tough the Sound-Controller remains active.
- With the HELP key you can get the Sound-Controller window back.
- 1 : When a song is loaded you must start it with this Gadget.
- Only you will hear something if the TIME (4) is equal to TIME (9)
- Choosing Gadget (1) will mark the Gadget with a 'x'
- 2 : The Song will stop when the TIME (5) is equal to TIME (9)
- So you can controll with the right numbers in Gadget (4) and (5)
- the starting and ending point of the song.
- 3 : With this Gadget (3) you can turn the song on/off when you like
- The song always plays, only not when Gadget (2) also is selected.
- The sound stops then due to the filled in TIME (5), after
- selecting Gadget Nr.3
- 4 : If you don't hear the song immediatly then you must correct the
- TIME delay (0-999 Seconds). Don't forget to Click Function (1)
- 5 : This Gadget shows the TIME in which SONG is played and stopped
- A little example:
-
- The song has to start in 20 sec, play for 60 sec and then stop.
-
- Then you fill in these numbers :
-
- BEGIN Playing Sound in 20 seconds
- STOP Playing Sound after starting in 60 seconds
-
- The Gadgets 2 and 1 must be selected!.
-
- The song waits for TIMER (9) to reach 20, then the song will be
- played untill the TIMER reaches 80. (coz 80-20=60 stupid)
- 6 : This Gadget shows the PATH to load the SONGFILE (This is the file
- saved by SOUNDTRACKER normally in the SONGS dir. of ST-00)
- 7 : This Gadget shows the PATH to load the INSTRUMENTS (These can be
- found on the INSTRUMENTS DISK supplied along with SOUNDTRACKER
- normally named ST-01 or higher!)
- 8 : This Gadget must contain the SONGNAME that must be loaded.
- After pressing RETURN the Sound-Controller will try to load it.
- When this fails you must check the PATH or the SONGNAME or simply
- insert the RIGHT DISK.
-
- Remove Sound-Controller: Exit Gadget closes Sound-Controller window and
- gives you the used memory back.
-
-
-
- The Sound-Controller has to started from the CLI with the CLI-COMMAND
-
- 'RUN C/SOUNDCONTROLL'
-
-
- This program you can use in combination with OWN Dia-Shows.
- To do that you have to program Sound-Controller which is easier than it
- sounds.
- You can program it just like the 'Startup-Sequence' only you must add a
- Parameter when calling Sound-Controller.
- For example:
-
- 'RUN C/SOUNDCONTROLL S/SEQUENCE'
-
- An example of a SEQUENCE which the Sound-Controller handles
-
- STSC
- .SONG:DF0:SONGS/!
- .INST:ST-01:!
- .SFIL:DRUM-SOLO!
- .PLMO:1!
- .STAR:00!
- .STOP:300!
- END.
-
- First the Sound-Controller needs to now that it is a Sequence-File.
- That is done in the beginning with the command 'STSC' (SoundTracker
- SoundController).
- Each line begins with an '.' then there comes a COMMAND which is
- ALWAYS 4 characters long followed with an ":" after that with NO spaces
- the parameters closed with NO spaces and an "!" (Don't forget the "!"
- or errors will occure)
- The file is closed with 'END' (After that you can add some remarks which
- will be ignored.)
- The 'STAR'ttime and 'STOP'time is a decimal number from 00-999 and must
- be at least 2 (TWO!) characters !!!
-
- Example: .STAR:06 ---> start after 6 Seconds
- .STOP:09 ---> stop after 9 Seconds play
-
- Also MUST the correct order of the commands be kept!!!!!
-
- There are 4 PLMO (PLAYMODES)
-
- 1 : The Song always plays (Untill the user stops it.)
- 2 : The Song plays untill the PLAYTIME is reached. (.STOP:xxx)
- 3 : The Song plays from startingtime (.STAR:xxx) untill stopped by user.
- 4 : The Song starts to play when the startingtime is reached and plays
- untill the PLAYTIME is reached. (.STOP:xxx)
-
- The Sound-Controller RUNS with no problems with Dia-Shows, Textediting,
- Copyprograms etc.
-
- The Sound-Controller was developed & programmed by MR. MAGIC from
- THE PROPHETS AG with use from the playroutine of Sound-Tracker V2.0
-
- The Source-Code can be obtained by THE PROPHETS AG.
-
- If you find ANY bugs in this program (I haven't found one) please notify
- me. I would be very grateful.
-
- In the near future probably a UPDATE (with NEW?? Functions) will
- be available with THE PROPHETS AG ....
