- New features in version 2:
-
- * Source code ported to Turbo Pascal V5
- * Assembler code optimised to allow SOME slower XTs to work in the
- PWM speaker mode.
- * Mouse control! (no more memorising single key functions)
- * Keyboard mouse emulation if no mouse is available.
- * Pull down menus!
- * Sound files are now up to 64k long (twice the previous duration)
- * Sound file reading and writing has been speeded-up by a factor of
- about 5!
- * Improved appearance.
- * low level code has been speeded-up to allow slightly faster sample
- rates.
- * Pitch and timer duration are controlled from click boxes on screen.
- * All major settings can be altered from a single menu box.
- * Built-in brief help box.
- * A mouse controlled universal cut-box specifies regions for
- functions to be applied to.
- * Manipulating sections of waveforms is now done via the
- cut/copy/paste method. Also, it is possible to mix sounds while
- pasting to combine waveforms.
- * Waveform regions can be cleared.
- * A zoom facility allows small details to be manipulated (remove
- those annoying clicks where sounds are joined).
- * Direct editing of zoomed details by drawing with the mouse.
- * Monitor facility (A/D required) allows the input signal to be heard
- before sampling.
- * A reference pitch (concert A) is available when preparing to sample
- a sound.
- * No special keyboard command mode exists. The keyboard is now in a
- permanent instrument mode thanks to mouse control.
-
-
- Bug fixes since V1.2:
-
-
- * Setting sample rate now works correctly.
- * Clicking noise between sounds when key pressed or released for PWM
- version has been eliminated, however autorepeat still causes slight
- clicking while holding key down.
-
-
- SAMPLER is still true public domain!
