Additional manual for MoonBlaster v1.03 ======================================= Although most MB v1.03 functions were already described in the old manual, some small extra features are added. Here is a short description: - An extra frequency table is added. Now there are three: 8363Hz (common Amiga freq) 22050Hz (common PC freq) 7875Hz (common Turbo-R freq) Every higher octave will double the frequency. So if for example you want to play a 44.1kHz you can use the 22050Hz table and play it one octave higher. - You can use SELECT to change the end address and loop address quickly. - The F4 key will defragment all sample RAM. This may be useful when the memory fragmentation says YES and you want to increase the largest free sample block. - You can use the DEL key in the wave and tone edit menus to clear the wave or tone. - It is possible to load big endian and little endian 16-bit samples Other notes: - Read the *.REV textfile for info about the program's revision history. - MoonBlaster is NOT meant as a sample editor. Just edit your samples in a real sample editor until they are perfect, save them as RAW/PCM and then load the samples in MoonBlaster. A converter to convert from IFF, WAV and VOC files to RAW will be released later. This is not really neccessary since every good sample editor can save samples as RAW/PCM. - When you load a raw sample 4 extra empty bytes will be added to the sample. This is done so that the OPL4 can loop on a silent sample part. - Note that the USER and EDIT mode is also valid for Wavekits! When you save a wavekit in RAW mode, the EDIT mode will be used. - The start address cannot be altered (yet?). The same goes for the sample type.
