SndChannel XCMD is an external command for Hypercard or Supercard that supports the multiple channel architecture of the Macintosh Extended Sound Manager. SndChannel enables independent control of multiple concurrent channels and the sounds played on those channels. This ability is especially useful to anyone producing scripted interactive content such as interactive books, entertainment, kiosks, tutorials, etc.
Included with SndChannel is a demonstration of the products capabilities called "Plexus". Plexus is interactive art from Digital Information Gallery that provides a peek at the future of human relationships in cyberspace. Touch the plexus for a thrill!
