Subject: 7th symphony

    This is the non-messed up message.

    This is the binary for 7th Symphony 1.1b which is an update to the
version you have here (1.0b). By Robin Emig itlm051 or ez020930 @ucdavis.edu

description:
Welcome to the world of system 7 sounds!!!

This is an application that plays system 7 sounds in earlier version of the mac system software, ie system 6.0.

Basic information:
7th Symphony should work on most macs. It is an application that is launched by the finder when a user double clicks on a System 7 sound. It then plays the sound and quits.
This program was made because I have many friends who will never upgrade to system 7 and I wanted them to have the ease playing sounds that System 7 allows us.

VERSION HISTORY:

1.0B ORIGINAL VERSION
1.1B FIXED BUGS RUNNING ON SE'S
                INCLUDED ABILITY TO STOP SOUNDS
                REDUCED MEMORY REQUIREMENTS
                BETTER DOCUMENTATION

If you like this program and would like to see more of its kind
please send me $5.

From: Fred Condo <[e-mail]>
Subject: [*] AlphaTrecker 2.0

AlphaTrecker 2.0

This file replaces all earlier versions (1.0 and 1.0.1) of AlphaTrecker.

AlphaTrecker is a faceless background application (FBA) system extension
that plays sound tracks (also known as MOD files) when you start up your
Mac. This is the same kind of file as SoundTrecker, by Frank Seide, plays.
AlphaTrecker plays all the MOD files it finds in the Preferences folder,
in a random sequence. You can place aliases of your MOD files in the
Preferences folder instead of the files themselves.

AlphaTrecker requires System 7 or higher and a 68020 processor or higher.

Here is AmigaSndConverter.
It is a quick hack, that will convert Amiga IFF (8SVX) sound file to Mac
sound files, ready to drop onto your system folder. Currently it
requires system 7, enough RAM (use MultiFinder temporary RAM) to keep
the complete sample. No drag and drop support yet, no multi-channel
sounds. This may come later. As I said, it is just a quick hack.

From: [e-mail] (Thomas D. Halter)
Subject: [*] Balthazar 1.0



After searching the net for a program to play Windows .WAV files on the
Macintosh, someone pointed out this program to me, so I am sharing it
with the net.  This program will play 8-bit .WAV sound files and save
them as System 7 .snd files.  It seems to work well enough, but it uses
application heap space to store the sound, so you may have to increase
its 384K partition to play and convert large sounds.  As usual, I am not
the author, so do not send any bug reports to me.

Subject: BeyondmididemoV2.3.txt ...for 00index.txt area in mac/sound/midi

      Hello, this version will replace all other versions of Beyond Midi Demo
that were at this site. I am not the author of this program, just a person who
has used this demo and found it very easy to understand as well as being
excellently written. I do not own a MIDI or a keyboard but have been interested
in programs that allow you to use the macs internal sound board to create
music. This is the first program that I have been truly impressed with enough to
brag about it and show my support for it. The demo uses the macs interenal
sound channels to play midi sequences on it using the given set of instruments
that are included with the demo (The full version of course will be better
supported and with a manual). Although there is not a brief user manual
included it shouldn't be too hard to figure out once you open it up. For those
of you who do download this demo I should point out that it will stop after
10-15 minutes. WHY?  Because it's a demo! The following text is a list of
improvements over the other versions that had been released, as well as bug
fixes.

    It looks like a publisher will be buying Beyond and it will be sold
 beginning in 1993 for about $200. The final contract negotiations are
 concluding. In the meantime updates and orders should be addressed to:

        Jeremy Sagan
        25 Avon St. Apt. C
        Cambridge, Ma. 02138

    You can also reach me for pricing or general questions on
 America On Line. My screen name is JermBey.

Recent Changes:

1.) Full Color support greatly enhanced.
    a.) now fully supports multiple monitors. If there is not enough memory
 for off screen color then off screen black & white is used.
    b.) New color controls in dialogs.
2.) Velocity scale from % to %.
3.) Change ports dialog. This functions allows you to change all ports in a
 given document. If your source or destination port uses the midi time piece
 then you must specify midi time piece in the midi setup dialog before using
 this function.
4.) Tap Tempo dialog.
5.) MIDI monitor Dialog.
6.) Enhanced MIDI Manager Support for internal connection. Now support beat
 clocks.
7.) New remote control window. If 'controller' is specified as a source event
 then an instrument may be assigned as a destination. This allows you to
 control your instrument volume or other controller using a remote mixing
 device.
8.) Preferences dialog.
9.) Scrubbing in the note editor.
10.) Enhanced syncing
        a.) MIDI Clock sync
        b.) MIDI time code
11.) Section Event editor.
    Allows editing of Key Signatures, Time signatures and Tempos in an
event oriented way.
12.) 32 bit clean.
    a.) System 7 compatible. running in Virtual memory not yet supported.
13.) Snapshot in instruments window.
14.) Solo and Mute instruments.
15.) Numerous bug fixes.
    a.) Including major fix for when tracks we're over 64k in length.
16.) Color picture of author after 10 seconds in about box.
17.) Pan in the instruments window. This is a rotary dial that allows you to
 send/record pan information to synths that support it.
18.) Layering up to 8 channels is now supported from the instruments window.
 Just click on the instruments primary channel and a new dialog pops up that
 allows you to set up to 8 different channels of layering.
19.) Added Sample support with the Mac Setup dialog box. This allows you to
 use your Mac as a synthesizer for simple melodies or sound effects. Place any
 sound you like either in the system folder or in the file 'BeySounds' and
 they will be accessible in this dialog. On slower computers you can only
 play one sound at a time. When playing multiple sounds simultaneously on
 faster computers you will notice timing fluctuations (when using VIA timer in
 preferences) and sometimes pops and crackles (although this is mostly
 eliminated when MIDI Manager or Time Manager is in use). Heavy use of
 background tasks or INIT's that use interrupts heavily, is discouraged.
 Also, System 6.07 or greater is recommended because it contains the enhanced
 sound manager. Beyond uses a technique in real time to discover if the
 machine has enough processor power to continue playing. In some cases, this
 may cause Beyond to stop playing notes. The easiest way to avoid this, is to
 leave Beyond as the foreground application and just let it play without
 pulling menus or dragging the thumbs of scrollbars. Currently Beyond's
 internal MIDI interpretation engine only recognizes NoteOn and NoteOff
 Commands (channels 9-16 are mapped to channels 1-8), and All notes off
 command. All others are ignored although future enhancements may include
 PitchBend,Volume control, Modulation, Sustain pedal, etc.,.The internal
 metronome now uses the Beyond's internal MIDI interpretation engine, so in
 order to use it, you must install a sound in a given channel and then set the
 metronome to use the internal channel corresponding to that sound. Beyond's
 Sound Engine is completely compatible with the sound manager, However
 programs like sound master, when used in conjunction, eat up all the sound
 channels and will not let sounds be played in other applications. Therefore
 use of sound master with beyond is not recommended, although this problem is
 minor. Scrubbing is partially supported by only one note at a time.
20.    Fixed a bug that caused a crash when notes of a duration greater than
 65535 we're recorded either directly or imported in a MIDI file. Also, long
 notes (>65535) we're not recorded properly in MIDI files.
21.    Fixed a bug that caused a crash when controller's we're played using
 layers that I inadvertently introduced when I added Time Manager Support.
22.    Fixed a bug that caused a crash when you went to the MIDI monitor
 without any memory.
23.    Extract Program Names
    Allows you to use sysex dumps to inform beyond of you current program
 names for your devices. Right now each port can have a list of program names.
 This will be changed later to allow you to assign particular channels on a
 given port to program names. For the time being this means that all channels
 1-16, say on the Modem port, will be assigned the same names. This new dialog
 allows you to extract programs from the currently selected track. It assigns
 the names to the currently selected tracks' port.
    A giant popup menu allows you to select programs from the Note editor,
 List Editor and Instruments window. Supported devices as of  are:
        1) Korg M1
        2) Roland D110
        3) Yamaha DX21
        4) Proteus (Not Completely Tested)
    If you have sysex information for a device that you want me to support
 please send to:
        Jeremy Sagan
        25 Avon St. Apt. C
        Cambridge, Ma. 02138
    Devices are stored in a separate Resource File called 'BeyDevices'.
 The Program Names are saved when you save preferences and are loaded when you
 start the program.

Subject: BigSound-10.hqx


BigSound 1.0

Moderators: please put this in the sounds directory

BigSound requires system 7.0 or later to run.

Lets you record, and play BIG sounds if you have a built in
microphone (ones longer than 10 seconds, depending on how much
memory/hd space you have).

You can drop any folder/file into it on the desktop and it'll
play any sounds it finds inside.

When it plays sounds, it plays them in the background so you can
use your mac to do other things while listening...

If you don't have a microphone on your mac, you can still use bigsound
to play sounds...

And, the usual... Although BigSound has a very robust error handling system
built in, and I believe BigSound to be free of bugs, you must use use
BigSound at your own risk, and you, yourself, take any responsibility
for any damages you may encur as a result of using BigSound.

BigSound is FreeWare!!  Enjoy...

#### BINHEX     brians-sound-tool-13.hqx   ****

Subject: Brian's Sound Tool 1.3 (16 bit, stereo)
Date: Thu, 23 Dec 1993 08:16:05 +1100



--========================_6111758==_
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

This update to Brian's Sound Tool adds stereo and 16 bit sound support, as
well as improving a few other key interface areas and fixing many bugs.
The program will now try to open anything, is a lot more forgiving of junk
in headers, handles multiple sounds in a single file (like system files,
Sound mover Suitcases), and will even have a shot at text files.

For those who came in late...

Brian's Sound tool is a drag and drop sound coversion utility designed
mainly for transfering files between the Macintosh and Windoze.

It works under system 6 or 7, supporting the required Apple events under
system 7.

Output is a mac sound file if the input isn't from a mac, otherwise the
output is a Windoze file.  Input can be either of those plus a bunch of
others like sound blaster .VOC files, Sun/NeXT .au, FSSD (either HCOM or
not), 8SVX, and AIFF files.

There were a few bugs that caused the program to crash when dealing with
stereo or 16 bit sounds in the past (because it ignored the fact) which
have now been fixed.

You can now cmd-. out of playing large sounds.

You can also convert 16 bit sounds to 8 bit, and stereo to mono.  These are
the default settings if your mac can't play 16 bit sounds (i.e. doesn't
have sound manager >= 3.0) or can't play stereo sounds.

I have also fixed a bug in the output to same folder as input preference,
as well as put some proper automatic file name generation.

Mac file names are now stored in text areas inside the WAV or VOC files and
used as the name when converting back so you dont loose your long names.
They are ignored by Windoze and OS/2 but should be a pleasant surprise when
someone gives you a copy of their latest WAV files and you discover that
they used to be Mac sounds before that.

Some doco is included.

The program is free.

Enjoy

From: [e-mail] (Jeff Home)
Subject: Canon 2 v1.0.3

Enclosed is the latest revision of that neat program for playing sound in
the background on your Mac.  It replaces any previous versions in your
archive.

Be it System 6 or System 7, this TINY application will bring your Mac to
life, allowing you to play System 7 'snd ' files and 'AIFF' files in the
background - with minimal memory usage.

Add your favourite sound files to the playlist, put Canon 2 into "Repeat"
mode and send it to the background...  Who needs a radio?

Anyway - check out the STANDARD Macintosh interface - no guidelines are
broken (we think).  At about 20K it's worth a look isn't it?  Thanks!

   I have included a small Mac application I wrote called Digitrack. If you
find it worthy, please feel free to post it anywhere for public distribution.
In this .sit.hqx file, you will find the application, a help file, an about
file, and a small, sample collection of sound resources for use with this
program. I will also send along (in another mail message) a larger collection
of sounds (also in the correct format for use with Digitrack.) Following is
a short description; other instructions can be found in the help files.

   Digitrack is a small, unfinished program that will read in all the 'snd '
sound resources in a file, and allow these sounds to be accessed (played)
immediately from the keyboard. Each sound is given a letter, and when the
corresponding key is pressed on the keyboard the sound is played. A track of
such sounds can be recorded and played back in real-time.
   This program can be used for live sound recordings where any number of
digitized sounds need to be immediately playable.

[DX7 Librarian 1.0.3]

DX7 Librarian is an application for the Macintosh which allows you
to make up library of voice data for DX7. One window has one voice
data, and you can open windows as many as you want.
When this application receives bulk dump MIDI data, new window will
open and show you it's parameter. You can keep 32 voices in one file,
so it's easy to replace DX7's internal 32 voices.
Apple Script recordable.

What's changed in 1.0.3.
 Fixed the bug related to mamory management problem.
 Now DX7 Librarian can open locked file.

Requirement :
System7 + QuickTime + Apple MIDI Manager or
System7.1 + Apple MIDI Manager

Shareware.

Fallen 0.9b, a free public domain background-only app.

Being philosophically opposed to inits, I wrote this
app, based on some helpful sample DTS code, to play
a sound when you shut down or restarted your mac
(actually, when you send a quit AppleEvent).  You
hear, "I've fallen, and I can't get up!".

System 7 required.  I guarantee only that this will
occupy disk space, although it is 32 bit clean.
The reason for the large size (64K) is the
large sound.

From: Ulrich Mehlhaus <[e-mail]>
Subject: [*] FilePlayer 1.0
Organization: University of Karlsruhe, Germany

FilePlayer - Playing soundfiles in the background
by Bernd Engist, Germany
Version 1.0

The intention of FilePlayer is to give an example of the power
of some sound manager routines introduced with System 7.
It will turn your Mac into a - rather expensive - tape recorder,
by playing music in the background while you do your work.

FilePlayer can record directly to file, this allows you to
play large soundfiles, as large as your harddrive can handle.

You can use FilePlayer to produce startup music without any
loss of memory, because FP quits automatically when your

Ivar is a program to play sounds over a network.  To use it,
install the Ivar extension on the target machine and reboot.
Then find a convienient Mac nearby and wait for an innocent
victim.  When he/she is busy working run the Ivar application
and surprise him/her with a few well chosen noises.
I have found the sounds "Sally in restaurant", "Mary dismebered

I like to record sounds that can be looped; that is, they
can be played over and over without any noticeable click at
the end of each playback. SoundEdit lets you do that easily
(you can play a loop by holding down the shift key when
clicking on the "play" icon), but once you've saved the
sound there's no way to loop it from the Finder. Many of my
sounds don't even sound good if they're not looped, so I
wrote this little application to play my loops.
Just drop a Finder 7 sound file on LoopSound's icon and it
will be played forever (until you quit LoopSound or drop
another sound on it).

This is an upgrade for Ulaw to Ulaw 1.4 which fixes a few bugs and has

Note to 16MHz users:  The new version uses a bit more processing

Dear FTP admin:

Here is a freeware sound player, I'd appreciate if you could archive it.
This is the readme file:

Mandarin  v 1.1    Liedong Zheng, Nov. 1993
[e-mail]

Version 1.1 has a minor change of the naming scheme of "snd "
resources, it should be transparent to end users. Thanks to Ed Lai
([e-mail]) for numerous help!  The new internal naming
scheme uses ShuangPin instead of PinYin, and enables Mandarin to
use other sound libraries available in public domain. To use these
sound libraries, you will have to rename the public domain sound
data file to "sound.lib" and put it in the Mandarin folder.  One
alternative sound data file is the stack from Ed Lai's Cihui
package (available from ftp.apple.com:pub/lai/cihui/dict/
chinese.sound.sit.hqx)

The sound.lib is compressed by 3:1, and is about 4.3MB now rather
than 12MB in the first release.  The sound.lib included in the
package is still a "demo" version, it ONLY has those "snd "
resources to speak the sample files, if you want to speak other
chinese files, you will need the complete sound.lib file, which
is now *ONLY*available for anonymous ftp on two Internet sites:
cnd.org:software/mac/sound, and ifcss.org:software/mac/sound
This complete sound.lib file can also be opened by Hypercard, and
is itself a standalone Chinese Pronunciation Tool, please see
more info in the stack.

I would like to thank those who sent me suggestions and
comments on the network, especially Canhao Li for his
encouragement, and special thanks go to a netter who revised
the readme file for the first release, I apologize for losing
his name.

Mandarin version 1.1 still remains a freeware, please send bug
reports, suggestions etc. to me.

**************readme file for version 1.0**************





        ||| FREEWARE |||||

Mandarin v 1.0 should run on any Mac running
with either System 6.x.x or 7.x.


Ever get tired of simply staring at a Chinese text on your screen, or
on your printout? Here is an alternative :-)

“Mandarin” is a small Macintosh FREEWARE program I wrote in the past
few weeks. It *reads in* a Chinese text (GB- or BIG5-coded), and *speaks
 Mandarin aloud* through the Macintosh's speakers.   :-)

You can enjoy listening to Mandarin Chinese as you might a radio, and
better yet, “Mandarin” can run in the background, while you are working
on your term paper, viewing an image, or whatever you feel like.   :-) It
is also helpful for those who may wish to learn how to speak Mandarin
Chinese: just run “Mandarin” in background, and use any Chinese viewer
in the front to display the characters.  (*please note, you will need to
make a duplicate copy of your Chinese file for viewing*) This program
is also a good tool for proofreading.  No special hardware is needed on
your mac, just double-click and have fun.

The program uploaded to sumex-aim.stanford.edu  is a "demo" version, it
only contains sound resources to speak the sample files included.

NO Chinese Operating System (OS) is required to run “Mandarin” but it
WILL need about 500K of RAM to run--and “Mandarin” should run on any
Mac running under either System 6.x.x or System 7.x, though I haven't
had a chance to test it on *all* models.

Your “Options”?  1) you only need to select either the so-called GB
dictionary, or else the BIG5 dictionary before “Mandarin” can read
anything. And, 2), if you wish to switch to the other dictionary, you
will need to restart the “Mandarin” program. Finally, 3) if you wish
to Pause, choose "About Mandarin" from Apple menu, and then when
you are ready to resume, click OK. That’s it!

The dictionaries are public domain dictionaries, and have been heavily edited/corrected to fit this program. I concentrated most of my energy
on the GB dictionary, though I did correct a few errors in the BIG5
dictionary--nothing exhaustive. If you find any more errors in BIG5,
please let me know, and I will try to remedy them later.

Limitations  ===========

* This program bypasses special characters and
    non-printable characters in the text.
* The program has not been designed to pronounce
    English words, but it will spell out any such
    word it encounters.
* The program has not been designed to function
    as a voice-synthesizer.
* Please bear in mind that the “Mandarin” you will
    hear has been “expressed” from a machine, so
    please don't expect native-speaker sound quality——
    in fact, your first listening session may involve
    some slightly humorous “learning” and a dose of
    patience on your part.
* Mandarin Chinese is a tone language; this program
    does NOT attempt to differentiate polyphonies, and
    instead picks a single tone for a polyphony.
* The sound-library named "sound.lib" is far from
    perfect; I intend to improve the sound quality as
    I find the time.

 Acknowledgements ================

I should like to thank Jim Reekes for his DTS archive. I should also like
to thank the editorial staff of Hua Xia Wen Zhai for their continuing and
enthusiastic support of community service; the publication of this
magazine has substantially promoted Chinese computing in many aspects,
at least having introduced me to the world of Chinese computing.

 Legal stuff ===========

All rights reserved. This program can be freely distributed provided the
whole package is not altered or modified in any way. The file named
“sound.lib” may not be used without permission from the author.

Please pass along to me your suggestions and any bug reports.

This is a HyperCard 2.1 stack called "MandelMusic" -- a little project
that we worked on this summer to explore the relationship between math,
music, and graphics. Alas, there's no graphic of the Mandelbrot fractal
in this stack, only the raw data (code included, though). The stack
converts the data into musical notes, based on how you define "the
scale." MandelMusic has a variety of ways built-in to tweak the
compositions it generates, without having to delve into the fractal
scripts; several such "variations" are included. Nothing fancy, but it's
eerie how "real" the music sounds (especially "Donna's Version
(Tweaked"). Obviously, it's freeware, but we'd appreciate any comments
or thoughts on sonic fractals. :-) Send comments to

 These 3 files must always be distributed together, and in an unmodified form -
other than this restriction, you are free to use the files as you wish)
Open this file with teach text for best results.

I designed these adapters as a lark some time ago. being rather dis-satisfied
with the self powered adapters that would not work on the mac portable. (This
machine is the worst of the lot as far as available voltage goes)

The power supply in these units is derived from the drive signals on the mac
connected to the adapter.  The trick is to use schottky diodes - in the basic
model I used MBR330 diodes, as these were what were available to me.  These are
rather oversized for the application, but work fine.  In the revised unit, 1N5817
diodes are used.  These are interchangable, and the only requirement for the
schottky diodes is a 100mA/25PIV rating.  If you are using these units on a
desktop mac,  you can use ordinary 1N4000 diodes.

As for the 6N137, these can be substituted - there are suitable _active_
opto-isolators made by several companies. For example, the 6N138, and
the Sharp PC900 will work.  Note that the device should trigger
at 4 mA or so, as the 'space' current is 5 mA. As the 6N137 is a open collector
device, the pullup resistor may not be required with other devices.

The 1MHz crystal oscillator is of the ordinary metal, rectangular variety.

Pin numbers on the plugs are the standard numbers on the connectors - these
may not be marked on the sockets, so the pinouts are reproduced here-

      8     7     6
                                      4    2    5
    5         4     3         1                    3        -  this is looking into sockets

        2       1

     MiniDIN-8                    DIN-5

The MIDI spec says that the shield must be connected directly to ground on the
MIDI OUT end, and connected through a 0.1uF, 200V cap on the MIDI IN end.  I
consider these connections to be unneeded, but you may wish to install them.

In the Delux version, the THRU button is added, and TX-RX lights with pulse
stretchers to make the signals more visible are added.  You can, of course, leave
all the lights and associated stuff disconnected.  Be sure to wire any unused
inputs of the '04 to the -2.5V supply.

There are _NO_ standard sample rate for the samples used in modules.
But most often the samples are done on the rate called C-3 (which is
about 16574 Hz if you have a PAL machine). Sometimes drums are sampled
at A-3 (around 28 kHz), and some sounds are at ~8 kHz or anything else

What Mono2Stereo does is very simple: it takes two mono sounds and
merges them into one stereo sound. Just open the left and right sounds
with the "Open..." command in the File menu, then choose "Save As...".
If youUve got a stereo-capable Mac, which either mixes the left and
right channels into one mono channel (Mac LC) or outputs true stereo
from the speaker port (Mac IIs and Quadras), youUll be able to play the

This tiny app extracts sounds from Quicktime movies.  It was sent to me be
Scott Lindsey,
whose comments are below, in response to my request for something to create
System 7
sounds from a QT movie file created when I sampled an audio cd directly from my
Quadra 800's cdrom drive.  The app is simple and has not crashed for
me....AND...it
extracts the sound file in STEREO if it was sampled as such with no
noticeable loss
in quality from the Quicktime version (which for instance SoundExtractor
would not do.)

Movie2Snd is a very simple application which extracts soundtracks from
QuickTime movies.

Drop-launch a movie onto the application (or choose a movie from the open
dialog).
You will be prompted for a location for the resulting sound file. That sound
file is a plain ol' System 7 sound file that can be played by opening
(double clicking).

Movie2Snd does all of its work in memory, so you'll need to set the application
memory size large enough to accommodate the sound. 1/2 of the target
movie's file
size is a good rule of thumb (use VM for large movies). Like I said, this is a
very simple program with practically no user interface. If an error occurs, it
just beeps at you (QuickTime isn't installed, not enough memory, etc.)

This program is freely distributable.

Due to many people's request, I rewrite the interface in the current version1.1,

The version 1.1 use new icons for the application, please rebuilt desktop
(hold down Option+Command while restart your mac) to use the new icons.
I am going to make PianoSim a very well maintained program, please support
me by sending your registration fee ($25 is really nothing compared with how
much a commercial music program charges). Your help will be very appreciated.

                                                          Oct. 10 1992
PianoSim introduction:

Here is a new software called PianoSim I created for the Macintosh. It's
a music instrument simulation with full music input and edit ability. You
can use mouse click (sweep) or keystroke to play music real time. You can
choose your favorite instrument from a panel of choices, including piano,
bell, flute, guitar, sax... You can record your performance in real time
and save it as a file for future playback. The software has a full featured
editor, so you can edit and modify your performance. You can also just input
your favorite music and save it as a record, for future playback and
entertainment. The time duration of each note is accurate up to one tick
(1/60 sec), the music symbol shown doesn't change the exact time duration
embedded. You can control sound volume, play back speed (tempo), and pitch
of all the piano keys within two octave. You can personalize your
computerkey-pianokey correspondence and save your setting.
Several of my favorite music is provided, including Fur Elise, love story,
and a few Christmas carols. If you enter your favorite records, I'd love
to have a copy if you are willing to offer (if you don't like the record
to be included in future updates, please say so, I will honor your request).
The software can be fun for adult as well as for child. I'd be very happy
to know if you like it and have a good time with it.

PianoSim is distributed as shareware, and ask for $25 shareware fee. But
if you REALLY couldn't afford it, send me any amount you prefer. By sending
me your donation, you are helping me to obtain enough resource and
encouragement to write better software for the Macintosh. Your help will be
very apprecaited. Registered user will receive a Thank You letter together
with registration code to personalize your copy, and receive any future
updates free. Please only distribute unregistered copies.

PianoSim is tested on MacSE, Classic, II, IIcx, IIx, IIsi, IIci, IIfx, Quadra,
under system 7 and 6.0.4 up. Any bug reports, suggestions, comments, etc.
are all welcome. Thank you for your time and hope you have fun with PianoSim.

I am currently looking for a mac programming position (I am a Univ. of
Chicago graduate student getting my degree), if you have a job offer or
any information that may help, please contact me. I also wrote a game
for Macintosh called SpaceInvader!, which can be downloaded from
sumex.stanford.edu under info-mac/game directory. Have a try if you like games.

Yes, it's version 1.31! And here are the new features:
- It can play the sounds it is extracting.
- It can beep when the extraction is finished.
- You can choose custom playback rates. This can be very useful if you need
to extract sounds from a Unix or Amiga file. Version 1.4, anyway, will
probably recognize those sounds as well as AIFF and SoundEdit Pro files.

Some bugs were fixed.


For those who don't know, SoundExtractor is a System 7 dependent utility that
lets you "extract" sounds from any kind of file. You just drag it on top of
SoundExtractor's icon, and it'll create a sound folder (with its own icon)
containing all the sounds it could find, in System 7 format. This means that
all you need to play them is to double-click on them.
SoundExtractor will also extract data sounds, stereo data or resource sounds,
or non-standard resource sounds.
SoundExtractor supports Balloon Help, Apple Events, and requires System 7.

Hope you like it,

Subject: [*] SoundHack 0.60


Here is SoundHack v0.6.  Perhaps the words of the author, Tom Erbe, best
describes the program's purpose:

---
I am writing this program to perform various soundfile manipulations on the
Macintosh that have previously not been available.  At the present, I have
implemented soundfile type conversion, soundfile convolution, the phase vocoder,
a binaural filter and an amplitude analysis and gain change module.  In the near
future I hope to add a spectral dynamics processor, and Larry Polansky's
mutation synthesis.  SoundHack can now read and write the following formats:
Sound Designer II, Audio IFF, IRCAM, DSP Designer and NeXT .snd (or Sun
.au).  It can read (but not write) raw data files. It can read and write 8-bit 5Law,
8-bit linear, 32-bit floating point and 16-bit linear data encoding.

This program only works on Mac II and above machines!  That is:
you need a 68020 + 68881, a 68030 + 68882 or a 68040.
---

------------------------- CUT HERE --------------------------------------
SoundHack v.60
This is the latest version of SoundHack as of 6-17-92.  It should replace all
previous versions.  The new feature is the phase vocoder.  This allows
independant time and pitch scaling.  It will provide pvoc analysis files for
Csound users (though I have not perfected this yet).   If you had a beta copy,
I have sped up pitch scaling by a factor of 4 since the beta release.

Got this from a Bulletin Board and thought I would pass it along, as it is a
newer version of Bruce Tomlin's great program SoundMaster.  This is
version 1.7.3.  Its just a bug fix, no real change to the interface that I
can tell.

SoundMaster installs code into your Mac during startup which can play sounds
when various things happen.

System requirements:

System 6.0.2 or later, preferably 6.0.7 or later.
At least one megabyte of memory, preferably at least two.

This is a shareware program.  If you like it, send $15 to the author's address.
If you're already registered for ten bucks as of April 15, 1990, it's a free
upgrade.  See the SoundMaster Doc. and change files for more information.

This is a BinHexed Stuffit Deluxe file.  Stuffit Lite, UnStuffit Deluxe, or
Stuffit Classic is required for this file.  Enjoy.

Manager 3.0.  The principal file is Sound Mover 1.9, which translates
and manipulates a variety of sound file formats.  It has an interface
similar to Apple's Font/DA Mover.

This updated version provides a few new features:
  - asynchronous play of sounds
  - creation of System-7 sound files
  - bug fixes to version 1.8c

Through several hours of playing arou..., er, testing, I encountered no
crashes under System-701-T or System-607 on a MacIIcx (couldn't say
that for SMP v1.8c).

For new users, this is not the complete package you will receive when
you send your shareware fee to Riccardo, but it is fully functional and
includes full documentation.  The shareware fee is $20 - $25 (depending
on what you want back); see the docs.

Support Shareware!  Nobody's getting filthy rich from shareware sales,
and your conscience will let YOU sleep better!  (hint, hint).  No, I
don't get a cut of the "profits."

For registered users, this package includes all SMP files updated since

Dea Netters
in the last days i have seen a lot of curiosity around
the Mac SoundTracker.
The questions were
(i)     how can many minutes of sound be compressed in a few tens of
        kilobytes and then expanded in real-time ?
(ii)            how can i write a song like those we see at info-mac
        and at ab20.larc.nasa.gov ?
(iii)   why do some songs fail to work on the mac ?
I haVE   answers for the three questions.
(i)     indeed nothing is compressed in the MOD files.
        there is a collection of usually very short ( most are 3-8 k )
        sampled instruments, and tradition is that they play an F (Fa for
        italian and french people), the one at more or less 698 Hz, when
        8000 samples are sent to the speaker every second.

OK, the problem has been fixed. Now, this patch will work on
the copy of SoundTrecker from Info-Mac, and it will also update
the 'vers' resource to reflect the change to english. sorry about
the problem with the first version. the second version does still
sork, but it does not change the 'vers' resource. The 'vers' resource
holds the information that you see in the "Get Info..." dialog box

thanx to all the kind people who reported this problem.

if you have any problems, please do not hesitate to contact me!

This is a patch for SoundTrecker 2.0
It makes almost all the text, including Balloon Help, English.
The origional is in German.
Open the application for more documentation.
Checked for viruses with Disinfectaant 3.3.

Please put this into the same directory as the origional SoundTrecker 2.0.
please delete the version 1 and 2 of this patch.

Subject: [*] el-sound-trecker.hqx (spanish version)

This is the Spanish version of The Sound-Trecker V1.0, a program to play
songs that are stored in a special, compact format. This format was
introduced by the program "SoundTracker" written for computers of
the Commodore-Amiga family. The music has high output quality, although
it is not just digitized, but stored in a compact way as notes. This
approach makes it possible to obtain moderate file sizes (between 50 and
300 kBytes) even for songs which are several minutes long. These music
files are commonly called "Modules" or ".MOD files."  Shareware ($30);
comes with C source code, and documentation in Spanish. Please, put this
file as "el-sound-trecker.hqx" in the same directory as the german and
english versions.

Un saludo a los hispano-parlantes a quien pueda llegar este programa. En
la documentacion encontrareis informacion interesante sobre como funciona
Sound-Trecker.

Subject: SoundEdit<->MATLAB suite



How many times have you wished for better sound editing tools on the
Mac?  SoundEdit and its contemporaries are very powerful, but sometimes
you need that extra something that they just don't have.

Fortunately there is a very powerful signal processing program for the
Mac, MATLAB, which is a matrix mathematics package that can do
some powerful manipulations.

Unfortunately, MATLAB can't yet import Mac sound files, nor can
SoundEdit (et. al.) export MATLAB files.  Hmmmm.

Fortunately you now can use these programs to convert back and forth
between the two formats.

Unfortunately there are no more "unfortunately"'s.  Or perhaps that's
fortunate.

This is version 1.4 of the package.  Anything previous sucks and is
really a tool of Satan.

  This is a GREAT little program that let's you control the volume of your
Macintosh without having to go through the (usually) time-consuming process
of opening the control panel, changing the volume, and closing the cp.  the
volume control is performed using a couple of keystrokes.  Read the enclosed

SpeakTextFiles version 1.0.1
        by Rune Lindman 25 sept 1993

What it is:
ReadTextFiles is a simple program I wrote to try out the Speech Manage
which was recently released by Apple. It lets you have the computer read
text files for you. This is possible thanks to Apple's new Speech Manager.

Requirements:
System 7.0 or later.
Apple Speech Manager.
MacinTalk 2 or MacinTalk Pro.
Speech Manager and MacinTalk can be obtained from Apple's FTP-site.
stdTTS extension for the speech settings dialog. It can be found on the
Apple FTP-site.
________________________________________________________________________
Directory at Apple FTP-site (ftp.apple.com):
SpeechManager: /dts/mac/sys.soft/speechtdTTS: /dts/mac/sys.soft/quicktime/sample.code/specch-media-handler.hqx
________________________________________________________________________

How to use:

Once you have installed the Speech Manager, you can simply drop text
files (pure TEXT and TeachText documents) on the SpeakTextFiles icon
or double click on the icon to select a file to speak. To pause speech,
press and hold "P", press "C" to continue. Pressing "S" stops current
speech.

Speaker 1.12 is a small application for use with Apple's Speech
Manager.  It provides simple text editting abilities, and various
speech abilities (by line, by file, by return key).  Also provides a
menu of voices and allows you to change the pitch and rate.

see the README file for more info.

REQUIRES the Speech Manager extension, available from ftp.apple.com.

This file supercedes speaker-1.11

Version 1.12

Fixes Several bugs.
Also adds an AppleEvent for speaking text.

Fixes small problems some users were having with the dictionary.

All,

Attached find my SpokesDaemon faceless background application. SpokesDaemon
is an Apple event-aware background-only application which processes other
application's requests for text-to-speech services using Apple's new Speech
Manager. The requests are sent to SpokesDaemon as Apple events; any
application which can send an Apple event can now have text-to-speech
capabilities. Also included is Spiricom, a utility application for
controlling and configuring SpokesDaemon. Both applications are shareware;
I'm asking (US)$40 for both. Registered users will receive a
AppleScriptable version of SpokesDaemon.

Note that this is version 1.0.1 of the package.

This utility converts sounds from the Sun ulaw encoded audio format to Mac snd
resources in sfil type files.  Version 0.3 fixes a few bugs in the previous
version uploaded here.  (Since I don't have ftp access, I'm not sure where it
resides.  Probably util or sound/program.)  Please replace the old file with
this one.

Old program used to hang the system if sound file was input that was too large.
This version exits with an Alert window suggesting that you increase
application memory in the Get Info box.  Conversion is still in one direction
only with this version.  Mac UI remains crude so it is still freeware.

I have attached a C program I wrote to convert Sun Microsystems u-law encoded
audio files to linear sound data files. The latter files can be read by
SoundMover ("Open any" mode) and converted to Mac snd resources. Anyone with a
Sun Sparcstation and a microphone ought to be able to make their own Mac sounds.
You have to remember to set the sampling rate in SoundMover to the value encoded
in the audio file (usually, if not always, 8.0 kHz.) SoundMaster will still want
to play them at 7.4 kHz, I think, but they sound OK.

There is no Makefile. You can simply "cc" it on your Sparcstation. If someone
incorporates this into a Mac utility (such as SoundMover, hint, hint) all I
ask is a free copy.

Please upload this to an appropriate directory.

This is a uuencoded binary compiled on a Sparcstation IPC. It is an improved
version of the program I recently posted the source code for. Please post to
the unix directory.

The improved version uses a 16-bit expansion of the u-law encoded data. It
converts the frequency to the next higher standard Mac frequency (ie
8.0 kHz -> 11.1 kHz) by linear interpolation. The amplitude range is then
normalized to the 8-bit range of the Mac. This results in a noticeably better

     Touch Tone Decoder 1.2 allows you to determine which, if any touch tones
are in a sound file.  It also recognizes rings, busy signals, and the dial
tone.
     It supports direct recording and the importation of AIF files.  The
friendly and pretty interface allows playback and analysis of portions of
the sample, as well as the ability to save and print the results of the
analysis.  It is both fast and accurate.
     This is a full-featured version, except that it will not acknowledge
three touch tones (randomly chosen each launch).  To get the fully working
version, you must register by sending the author a (reasonable) shareware
fee.  Depending on response, it may be expanded to work with AppleScript,
and recognize tones on the fly (and in the background).
     Works in system 6.0.7 and above, no sound input device is needed.

Wavicle can record from the built-in microphones of the si, LC, etc.,
as well as from a SID, CSD or MacRecorder.  Full cut/copy/paste/undo

In addition, Wavicle includes the ability to call "external effects"

Wavicle was previously known as Audiophile.  Unfortunately, Opcode has

Enclosed is the app and source for Welcome, an app which uses the Speech

be happy to credit you....

Version 1.3.2 fixes two bugs--one appeared the week of Thanksgiving, when I
forgot to check whether I had typed == or =, and one appeared October 31,
when nothing happened. :-) This version is postcardware. Version 2.0, coming
out soon, will be customizable with ResEdit. Version 3.0, if ever, will let
you do it from within the program....
