-
- DEVELOPMENT
-
- TFREQ was developed to eliminate the hassle of having to write your sound
- procedures in the Pascal program, then compile and run before hearing how
- they sound. With TFREQ you can select the frequencies and delays, listen to
- it, and if you like it....write it to disk as a source file to load into
- your Pascal program.
-
- This version of TFREQ will only generate Pascal code, it probably won't
- surprise you to know that TFREQ was written in Pascal with TP 6.0.
-
- This version still has a few rough edges in it, but the program is being
- further developed even as you read this.
-
- Very little error checking is incorporated into Ver 1.1, and that something
- that is being remedied currently. People who register this program will
- probably find many improvements in the version they receive.
-
- Areas where lack of error checking may provide tense moments, will be
- covered in the manual sections where they are appropriate. Please be sure to
- read the WHATSUP.DOC for explanation of whats comming, or planned in the
- next release(s).
-
- STARTUP
-
- When you first start TFREQ you are presented with a Copyright Notice and
- program name header. If the version is registered, the User Name and
- Registration Number is displayed, else an UNREGISTERED notice shows.
-
- Your Menu choices are: <S>ingle <M>ultiple <B>uild <Q>uit
- Press the first letter of the choice you want.
-
- SINGLE
-
- This section allows you to enter a freq and the delay factor. TFREQ will
- then play the sound for the time specified. There is no function to write
- this to a file, it is simply there to allow you to hear what a certian
- frequency sounds like. After each sound is played, pressing ENTER will
- return you to the Main Menu. A fix is in now to allow you to continously
- play a freq until you are *ready* to return to the Main screen.
-
- MULTIPLE
-
- The menu here presents: <U>p the Scale <D>own The Scale <R>eturn
-
- <U> will let you enter a starting and ending frequency, and the delay.
- It will then play it for you. After its been played the specs will be shown
- and you will be promted for the choice of writing to file or Exiting.
- NOTE: The beginning freq MUST be LOWER than the ending freq.
-
- If you choose to write this procedure to a file, you will be prompted for a
- 'Procedure' name. You may use up to 15 characters. You can type a longer
- name but TFREQ will only use the first 15. The program will then create a
- file using the first 8 charecters of your procedure name, with an extension
-
- Program Documentation - "Sorry", No Music.....
-
-
- TFREQ.DOC Pascal Sound Procedure Construction Tool Page 2
-
- of .SRC the file will be stored in the current directory.
-
- <ERROR> There is NO error checking for an invalid or blank entry at the
- procedure name entry. If you press ENTER with no name specified, the
- program will ABORT with a RUN TIME ERROR message. This is being corrected
- for the next version.
-
- <D> This works the same as the Up the Scale function except it is formatted
- to play freqs DOWN the scale. The beginning freq MUST be HIGHER than the
- ending freq.
-
- <R> Returns you to the Main screen.
-
- BUILD
-
- In this area you can build the sound you want. You are allowed to enter up
- to 10 frequencies, each with its own delay. You are prompted for each
- frequency and delay in order.
-
- To stop entering freqs before you reach the 10 freq limit, simply enter a 0
- for the frequency (THATS A ZERO!). The sounds will then be played for you.
- After the sounds have played you will have the option to:
- <M>odify <W>rite <E>xit
-
- <M>odify: To modify a frequency you will be prompted for the number of the
- freq to modify. These numbers are listed next to the freqs and delays. Then
- you will be asked for the new freq and delay. Once you have entered the new
- values TFREQ will replay and redisplay the sound procedure. You will then
- again be presented with the options to Modify/Write/Exit.
-
- As of yet there is there is no option to just replay the procedure, but
- that is comming. Likewise you cannot ADD to the procedure, that too is
- comming. It is also planned to allow more than 10 values, for those really
- wild sounds.
-
- If you fill in all 10 frequencies, the program goes into auto mode and
- plays them as soon as you have entered the last delay value.
-
- There is no checking for invalid or blank values as of yet. But if you do
- NOT enter a value (just press enter) the cursor will move to the left of
- the screen and wait for a value. Basically this just messes up the display.
-
- Writing the procedure is the same as that for the Up and Down scale
- procedures.
-
- FILE FORMAT
-
- As mentioned earlier, when you enter a Procedure Name, TFREQ takes the
- first 8 characters of that name, adds an extension of .SRC to it and saves
- your procedure under that name. If the file already exists it will be
- overwritten.
- If you give your procedure the name of Space_Man_Landing then the resulting
- filename will be SPACE_MA.SRC Using your favorite editor or the editor in
- the Turbo Pascal IDE you can read this Sound Procedure source file into you
- program....and KNOW how it will sound when the program runs.
-
- Program Documentation - "Sorry", No Music.....
-
-
- TFREQ.DOC Pascal Sound Procedure Construction Tool Page 3
-
- The SRC file produced uses standard Pascal procedure format.
-
- procedure <Procedure_Name>;
- Var <variables needed>;
- begin
- .
- .
- end; {Procedure_Name}
-
- The procedure is not indented.... that is being modified, indentation
- is a much neater approach.
-
- NOTE: The little tune that plays when you EXIT TFREQ was designed and
- written to source with this version of TFREQ. And it worked perfectly the
- first time. One thing to be careful of: Check your spelling of the
- procedure name, and make sure you use the same spelling when you CALL the
- Sound Procedure.
-
- THATS IT!
-
- You should have no problems running TFREQ right away. Its really a simple
- program. Appearence wise its much simpler than many of my programs, but
- turned out to be one of the worst for headaches!! <grin>
