INTRODUCTION
What You Have
The Board
Welcome to the world of...
SOUND!
The Sonic Blaster is an audio digitizer and playback system.
Once installed, your IIGS thunders into a whole new dimension.
You've seen the GS incredible graphics, now hear its powerful
roar.
The board is easy to install. It will work in slots 1, 2, or 6.
External connections are provided so you can quickly and easily
connect line inputs and speaker outputs.
The Software
Connect your CD player, phono, tuner, tape player, VCR, or
microphone to the external input connector and record pieces of
your favorite songs, TV shows, or noises you make with your
own mouth, hands, nose, pets, etc.
The included Super Hi-Res software lets you digitize in mono or
stereo. Variable record and playback rates as well as volume
setting are also provided in the control panel.
But wait! There’s more...
Audio Art, the second disk, contains an aural spectrum of
sounds. We’ve pulled several files from Æ’s vast “library o
sounds” and put them on disk for you. Feel free to make
modifications to these files but make a backup copy of this disk
first to keep the original files in their pure form.
The Manual
Notes and warnings throughout the manual will help you to
better understand what you’re dealing with. They appear as
shown in the example following;
Introduction . What You Have V
Note: This indicates a special note or warning. Pay close
attention to these entries.
Sonic Blaster is the full name of the product. In this manual,
we’ll sometimes call it SB for short.
Part I, Sonic Blaster--The Hardware, describes the card, tells you
what you need to use it, and takes you through the installation
of the Sonic Blaster.
Part II, Sonic Blaster--The Software, begins by giving you a quick
run through of what the Sonic Blaster software can do. The rest
of the chapters in the section detail each menus options. The
chapters are in the same order as the menus for easy reference.
The Appendices tell you how to copy the SB program to your
RAM, ROM, or hard disk, how to work around problems you
may encounter, what adapters you may need, and more.
The Glossary contains most of the terms used in the manual
with which you may not be familiar.
Any comments or suggestions regarding this manual or any
other ,~manual, will be greatly appreciated both by Æ and by
others who use our products.
