==============================
Blaster Master V.1.0
for the CMS Sound Blaster
(C) by Gary Maddox 09/01/90
==============================
The CMS Sound Blaster is the best IBM sound card available today. One of
the outstanding features of the Sound Blaster is the ability to sample
sound and play it back. BLASTER Master is a tool kit for working with
raw, uncompressed Sound Blaster VOC files. BLASTER Master includes many
features available on Digital Audio Workstations costing many thousands
of dollars. The current features supported by BLASTER Master include:
Slow It Down!
This program extends the time domain without effecting the frequency
domain... in plain english, you can re-sample a VOC file that will
play back at approximately 1/2 speed without effecting the pitch.
Imagine you are a guitar player and want to learn the latest white
hot guitar licks from Joe Satriani or Eric Johnson... Slow it Down!
makes listening and learning MUCH easier!
Digital Delay
This program adds echo or delay to a VOC file to give it a richer,
fuller sound. It is also great for adding special effects.
Volume Control
This program can either increase or decrease the amplitude of VOC
files. One way to get a very clean sample is to make your sample
at a fairly low volume and then re-sample up to a higher volume.
This works very well for sampling directly from a CD or tape deck.
The Mixer
This program blends two VOC files into a single sample. There is
also a volume mix parameter that controls how loud the mixed in
sample will be. This is a great way to add special effects to your
sound files. This program does not try to adjust the sample rates
if the two files are different.
Reverser
This program reverses the playback of a VOC file. It is effectively
the same as playing a tape backwards. See for yourself if "number 9"
says "turn me on, dead man" backwards. (for older Beatles fans) This
is a great tool for televangelists to search for those pesky satanic
references in rock & roll songs!
Sound Graph (EGA/VGA only)
This program will display a sound file like it would look like on a
very expensive color oscilloscope. Function keys F1 - F4 changes the
palettes to control the colors used to display the PCM data. This
program also supports other sound file formats besides VOC files.
These features can be accessed by running BMASTER.EXE or seperately from the
DOS command line. The audition feature of BMASTER.EXE requires that VPLAY
be in the PATH set by DOS. A future version of BLASTER Master will include
an integrated player/recorder.
BLASTER Master is the result of many, many hours of programming, study and
experimenting (not to mention 6 years of college). If you find this program
to be interesting and of use to you, then please register BLASTER Master and
help support future development towards more applications of sound files. In
the works are a graphic EQ function, a graphic editor and a filtering system
for improving the overall sound of your VOC files. All future updates are
free. One registration will automatically register future versions.
