- In order to highlight a menu entry, use the keypad
- or the mouse. The PgUp key brings you to the top of
- the list, End to the bottom (Close command); the Up
- and Down Arrow keys step you through. To execute a
- highlighted command, click the Left mouse button or
- hit Enter. Command line parameters are typed in from
- the keyboard, DOS-fashion. Function keys F1-F10 give
- current parameters (press Alt and F1-F10 for a list).
-
- Alt-H gives help for the highlighted menu entry.
-
- To leave the WAVmaker PRG Menu, press Esc, click the
- Right mouse button or execute the Close command.
-
- Execute the Help command (hit Enter) for extensive
- online help.
-
- The WAVmaker menu system (including this text) is
- user-configurable. See online help for details!

- ReadDir
- Browse a listing of the default PRG directory (exit
- with Esc or Right mouse button).
-
- This is the directory where the default PRG files are
- kept. PRG files describe the "keyboards" played by
- MIDoWAV: they assign samples to keys and contain
- various performance parameters (envelope shape,
- velocity sensitivity, modulation etc.). You can
- modify them (or create new ones from scratch) using
- PRGed. [PRG files are NOT free format, so although
- you can modify them with any text editor, you should
- not do so unless you know EXACTLY what you are
- doing.]
-
- PRG files are numbered according to the General
- MIDI (GM) specification, from 0 to 127. Filenames
- beginning with a "D", as in D36, denote drum sets
- (see the MIDtoLST /drums option).
-
- If you do a lot of PRGramming, consider creating a
- new directory for your PRGs, separate from the
- default directory.

-
- This is the directory where the default sample files
- used by LSTtoWAV (and PRGed) are kept. If you do a
- lot of sampling, DSP and/or wave editing, you should
- probably create a new directory for your samples,
- separate from the default directory.

- ReadDir
- Browse a listing of the default DFT directory (exit
- with Esc or Right mouse button).
-
- This is the directory where compressed sample files
- are kept. DFT files must be expanded using DFTtoWAV
- before they can be used. Since expansion takes time
- and WAVs can easily eat up a lot of disk space, you
- will probably want to use DFTtoWAV only as the need
- arises.
-
- You may also want to try compressing your own WAVs
- using WAVtoDFT, but keep in mind that not all sounds
- are suited for this. WAVtoDFT and DFTtoWAV work best
- with single instrument notes, where they beat generic
- compression systems like MPEG hands down. Other kinds
- of samples (e.g. speach) may not be handled equally
- well.

-
- PRG and WAV files are assumed to be in the
- default paths specified in Temp\PRGed.INI,
- where the names of the default external
- player and of the temporary wave file used
- by it are also kept. If this file is not
- found, the defaults are PRG\, WAV\,
- WAVplay.BAT and Temp\Temp.WAV, respectively.
