  32 Voices Configuration:

  First of all you have to choose which mixing routine  you  want  to  use.
  This  can  either  be  the  68000/68010  or  68020+.  The 68020+ mixer is
  ofcourse optimized for higher processors.

  This configuration is used to set the mixing rate relative to the  number
  of channels used in a module. This means that the higher mixing rate, the
  better sound. But remember that high mixing rates demands more cpu power.
  As  soon as you press return, after you have typed a new mixing rate, the
  new mixing rate is used. This is ofcourse only if you  have  changed  the
  mixing rate for the current number of used channels.

  You can also set the volume boost for every number of  channels.  If  you
  are  listening  to  modules  that  uses  a  lot of channels, you can take
  advantage of volume boost. This is because if a lot of channels has to be
  mixed, the volume will be lowered,  and therefore it needs to be boosted.
  The boost value will only take effect when a new module is played.

  If you don't know which values to type in, you can get APlayer to  choose
  the values best suited for your system.  This can be done by pressing the
  autoadjust button. It CAN'T be done if APlayer is playing  a  module,  or
  the audio channels is allocated by another program.

  First, you are asked if you want to check all the channels. If you answer
  NO, only the 31-32  channel mode is tested, and the result is used in all
  other channels mode, else every channel mode is tested.

  Then you can decide the maximum mixing rate to be used.  This  can  be  a
  number between 4000 and 56000. The higher the mixing rate, the better the
  sound quality.

  The last two requesters will let you decide wether you want to adjust the
  found  mixing  rate a bit down (0-100 percent), which will leave more cpu
  power to the rest of the system.

  After this the test is performed. To optimize the results, do  NOT  touch
  your computer while the test is in progress. You can adjust the volume in
  the main window, if you don't want to hear the tones while  the  test  is
  running.

  Please note  that the numbers  found in the test  may not be the  optimal
  setting, but should give you a hint on how the setting should be.
