- ModVoicer 1.1
- *************
-
- by Kip Walker, July-August 1992
-
- Inspiration:
- ------------
- My fascination with those cool amiga MOD files lead me to do this.
- Frank Seide's terrific program "The Sound-Trecker" and his comprehensive
- documentation inspired and helped me to decipher and play with the files.
-
- Requirements:
- -------------
- System 6.0.7 or greater
- Any Mac
- 400K free memory minimum
- Lots of MOD files!!!!
-
- Basics:
- -------
- ModVoicer will let you open one MOD file at a time. It prefers files with
- SoundTrecker's signature, but will try to open anything you choose. The
- MOD file detection is minimal at this point. Once the file is open, you'll
- get a window with a list of the valid samples in the MOD. Double-clicking
- on a list item, or selection of several will open a window for each voice.
- (up to 10 voice windows) When a sound window is in the front of the screen,
- any non command-keys will trigger the sound to be played at a frequency related
- to the ASCII of the key. If the sound list is foremost, Close will close
- the whole MOD. Otherwise, Close will remove the front voice window.
-
- You can change the Volume via the Volume menu (tricky!!), the base
- rate of the samples, and the display method (dots or lines) via the
- Options menu.
-
- Choosing the Export command in the File menu will do the following:
- If a sound window is frontmost, it will let you save either a soundEdit
- file with the sample, or create a ResEdit owned resource file with the
- sound in it. If you have selected mutilple samples in the list, Export
- will create a resource file with all selected sounds in it.
- Choosing Export Merge lets you put the selected sound(s) into an existing
- resource fork (taking care not to overwrite previously saved 'snd ' rsrcs).
-
- In the Future:
- --------------
- Keyboard set up like a piano
- Sophisticated graphics ? Possibly.
- Mod editing capabilities

- Again, please email me comments and suggestions!

- I am a sound novice -- if you have any knowledge of sound theory and would like
- to help me make this a really cool program, email me!!
