Sounds Terrific 2 Read Me File.
Sounds Terrific 2 is a double CD set dedicated to Music
and Sounds. The contents include modules, screamtracker
modules, midi files, wav files, instruments in wav format
and utilities. Also included is a simple GUI to help you
explore the compact discs and audition the files.
The program SOUNDS.EXE is the GUI provided for this
purpose. It should auto run when the compact disc is
inserted into a Windows 95 machine. A Windows 3.x user
will have to run the program from the File|Run menu. It
should be run directly from compact disc and has been
provided on both compact discs.
Also included is the shareware version of Mod4Win (latest
version as at May 1996.) This excellent program is the
best module player for the IBM PC and is Windows 95
compatible. Our SOUNDS.EXE program will check your 'C:\'
drive and offer to install the Mod4Win program to you hard
drive if you wish. It is not required, however it does
provide a large array of features that you may wish to
try. The version of Mod4Win provided is shareware and so
it will be necessary to pay a shareware fee to register
the product for prolonged use. Our SOUNDS.EXE program is
using the Mod4Win Player32.dll to play the modules and S3M
files on our compact discs. All of the music and sounds
files, with the exception of the instruments, are public
domain. The instruments are copyright Walkabout Music and
have been provided for you to use in your own compositions
freely. The instruments may not be redistributed as WAV
files.
Our interface is simple. The MOD, S3M, WAV and MID
buttons just take you to the correct directories, enabling
easy exploration of the contents of the compact discs. To
select a file just click on the file name in the file
requester at the right hand side of the interface. The
WAV & MID files can be controlled with the 'video'
controls at the bottom left side of the interface.
Beneath the file list on the right hand side are some
controls to allow you to scan a directory. If you press
the 'SCAN' button each of the files in the displayed
directory will play for 15 seconds before carrying on to
the next file in the list. If you like one of the scanned
files and wish it to continue then press the 'PLAY' button
To continue scanning after playing a file just press the
'SCAN' button again. To play all of the files in a given
directory for their entire length just press the 'ALL'
button. This will commence playing at the highlighted
file or at the top of the directory if no files are
highlighted.
It is of course possible to copy files to a directory on
your hard drive and use the 'PLAY' button to play all of
the files in that directory. The files can be a mixture
of modules, midi files or wav files.
All other controls are self explanatory. Each of the
compact discs included in this set have the interface so
no matter which one is put into your machine the program
will run. It is probably a good idea to exit the program
before the compact disc is changed, particularly on
Windows 95 setups, the program will automatically run
again.
Have Fun !
