- SUGGESTED USAGE
-
- Sontica is cool if you use it properly. It is a "console" Windows app, so
- you'll have to use command-line parameters to tell it what to do.
- Make yourself a new program group called "Sonitica" or something and
- add items with the following command lines:
-
- sonc genmidi.son -m<filename.mid>
- sonc defmod.son
-
- The results should be pretty chill. SONITICA.RTF is the documentation,
- but it's unfinished -- just look at the programs and play around with 'em.
- You can also use MOD2MIDI to make Sonitica programs from .MOD files.
-
- If you have two or more sound devices in your system, you'll have to
- change the SONC.INI file to tell the program which ones to use for
- input & output. And be sure you set the sample & include paths correctly.
-
- There are some defines you can use to change the way GENMIDI works:
-
- -DPOP Plays the song with pop settings -- short reverb time,
- some instruments w/ no reverb, etc.
-
- -DFREQ=<value> Sets the output frequency to <value> Hz.
-
- -DNOREVERB No reverberation.
-
- -DJUSTREVERB Nothing but reverberation.
-
- -DOUTFILENAME=<filename> Sends the output to a raw data file
- named <filename>. Format: 16-bit stereo.
-
- And please excuse the samples -- most were recorded off of a "Casio SK
- Sample Sounds" tape. I would appreciate donations.
