- ==== Author's Comments ===============================================
-
- Creating Sound Effects 4 was a long and tedious process, which Bill
- and I have spent many days, hours and weeks working on.
-
- The results have been amazing ! The reviews coming in say:
-
- "Would you have any objection to us using SOUNDFX4 on the Cover disk?"
-
- -PC Today magazine
-
-
- "I'm a computer game designer for Sierra On-Line. I'm working on a
- new project right now and have need for a few PC sound effects."

- │ Special Utilities │
- └─────────────────────────────────────┘
-
-
-
-
- 1) NOISE.EXE
-
- Usage: NOISE [delay] [frequency] [frequency] [frequency] [...etc
-
- NOISE ? displays the help screen
-
- This program allows you to specify a delay, then as many frequencies
- of tones you can fit on the command-line (127 chars).
-
- NOISE now supports musical notes !
-
- Notes are A-G, and are entered on the command-line instead of frequencies.
-
- Examples: NOISE 100 A G D D B C G
- NOSIE 300 A 202 G 453 A 295 1843
-
- Notice that frequencies and notes may be combined !
-
-
-
-
-
-
- 2) RAND.EXE
-
- Usage: RAND [range of random number] [delay]
-
- RAND ? displays the help screen
-
- Rand creates random tones dependent upon the maximum number you specify.
- It "thinks up" a tone between 1 and your specified number.
- The delay, of course, is how many milliseconds until the next tone is
- played.
-
- For interesting examples:
-
- RAND 20000 200
-
- RAND 10348 120
-
-
-
-
- 3) STOP#GO.EXE
-
- Usage: STOP#GO [method] [frequency] [duration]
-
- STOP#GO ? displays the help screen
-
- Methods include:
-
- 1 - play frequency until key is pressed
- 2 - turn sound on and off as keys are pressed
- 3 - play non-stop frequency
- 4 - play frequency for "duration" specified above
- 5 - turn sound on and off, pausing "duration" before alternating
-
- Press [ESC] anytime to abort program, and remember that
- "duration" is in milliseconds
-
-
- Examples: STOP#GO 1 600 plays a 600 frequency tone until any key
- is pressed
-
- STOP#GO 2 700 plays a 700 frequency tone, and when a key is
- pressed, turns tone off.
- When another key is pressed, turns tone back
- on, and continues alternating ....
-
- STOP#GO 3 700 plays a continuous 700 frequency tone
-
- STOP#GO 4 700 200 plays the 700 frequency tone for 200 milliseconds
-
- STOP#GO 5 700 20 toggles the 700 frequency tone
- on and off for 20 milliseconds
- between sets.
- (sounds similar to an alarm !)
-
-
-
-
- 4) UP#DOWN.EXE
-
- Usage: UP#DOWN [start-frequency]
-
- UP#DOWN ? displays help screen
-
- Use up and down arrows to increase or decrease
- frequency, or press the number keys to make
- the frequency {number X 100}. Press [ESC] anytime to quit
-
- Experiment with the up/down arrow keys, and press the numbers 1-9
- to create a frequency between 100 and 900.
