SOUND LIBRARY for Quattro Pro(tm)
Contains 233 sound files totaling over 3.4 megabytes, each optimized for
playback with Borland's new Quattro Pro 3.0. The entire Sound Library is
divided into ten volumes, averaging 348 kilobytes each. You may buy each
volume separately, or obtain the entire set and save 37% off the individual
prices.
Our LIBRARY features Daffy Duck, Underdog, and those (ever-popular??) Teenage
Mutant Ninja Turtles. There are sound bytes from Monty Python, Steve Martin,
Mr.Spock, and of course we couldn't forget Arnie!! Included in our LIBRARY
are the sounds of chimps and cows, flutes and foghorns, everything from
Big Ben to a calliope. To give you a variety of sounds when purchasing just
one volume, we chose not to group the sounds by subject. You will find an
intriguing array of sounds in each and every volume.
5 of 9
As your Quattro Pro sound file collection grows, you will want a way to
quickly and conveniently play each file in order to judge its suitability for
a particular project. So, with each order we include, for FREE, the latest
copy of our sound player utility. This program plays your Quattro Pro
sound files without Quattro Pro! Just give it the name of a sound file and it
plays it for you, giving an accurate report of the file length in seconds. No
macros are required! In addition, for use in conjunction with the player
utility, we include a batch file which will play all the sound files in a
subdirectory, automatically!
The 10 volumes are supplied on ten 5.25" diskettes, or five 3.5" diskettes.
(Please specify diskette size when ordering.)
PRICE:
$7.95 per volume, or $6.95 for orders of 3 or more. For even greater savings,
you may purchase our entire library of 10 volumes for only $49.95.
SOUND TOOLKIT for Quattro Pro(tm) 6 of 9
The Sound ToolKit contains enhanced versions of the programs used in the
creation of our Sound Library. Use it to convert sound files to Quattro Pro
format, then cut and splice them to create special effects or remove unwanted
sections. Your computer does the work: no razor blades or special tape
required!
CONVERT:
Create your own Quattro Pro sound files by converting files recorded with
Sound Blaster(tm) and other sound digitizing boards to the special Quattro Pro
format. If you do not have a digitizing board, you can convert many of the
sound files that are available from Computer Bulletin Board systems,
Information Services such as Compuserve, and shareware diskette distributors.
CUT:
The cutting tool lets you quickly select a cut from a Quattro Pro sound file.
It's like a text editor: Your sound file is displayed on the screen as a
series of lines, and a moving cursor tells you at a glance where you are in
your file.
7 of 9
It's like a taperecorder: With four different playback speeds to choose from,
you can play forward, reverse, slow down, speed up, and repeat, all at the
touch of a key. The moving cursor always keeps track of where you are. If
you choose, you can mark points in your file to within thousandths of a second
using the time monitor and the cursor keys. Then playback your selection
until it sounds just right, give it a file name, and you are done.
In our opinion it is easier to use than either a word processor or a tape
recorder, and more fun than both. We think you will agree!
SPLICE:
The splicing tool simply takes two Quattro Pro sound files and splices them
together to create a third. It is as easy to use as it is to describe.
With these tools, you can give your presentation exactly the right note or--
just have fun!
System Requirements:
Computer: 10 MHZ 286 or faster, with DOS 3.1 or later recommended.

PLEASE NOTE: We are scheduled to begin shipping our SOUND TOOLKIT in
November, 1991. Orders received before that time will be filled with
preliminary versions of the programs (as described above but rough around
the edges), and will be upgraded without charge when the full version is
available.
