SOUNDER  Version 1.0

At Last!!!  Some _decent_ sound for the HP48.  No longer are we
limited to the simple tones and clicks which we have had to put up
with for so  long.  Now we can have lasers, interesting alarms,
explosions, noise,  machine guns, and much, much more!!!

..how's that for an intro?. 

This post contains my current sound player, SOUNDER, as well as a
sample of some of the sounds made possible by the sound player.

SOUNDER should be stored in your home directory.  SOUNDER is executed
automatically when you execute one of the sound objects in the
supplied directory.  Executing SOUNDER directly will produce the "Bad
argument type" message.

To use the sounds, simply execute the sound object corresponding to
the sound you want.  In other words, if you want to hear an explosion,
just press the menu key labeled "EXPL".  

The sound objects themselves contain the actual sound definition.  The
SOUNDER object contains the code that reads the sound definition and
then generates the actual sound.  The sound objects may be executed from
your normal RPL programs, so you can now include these sounds into your
favorite programs and alarms.

Using the sound player, new sounds are extremely easy to create from
ML using the Star assembler.  At some future time an RPL sound editor
will be released, allowing users to create SOUNDER sound objects from
the HP48 keyboard.  If anyone wants to volunteer, I would be glad to
provide the source code and any assistance.  It's not a big job, but I
don't know when I'll be able to get around to it.

If people want any custom sounds created, I would be glad to give it a
try.  Just send me a description of what you want.  

Furthermore, if you have the Star assembler, I'd be glad to send you the
sources to allow you to make your own sounds.  You don't need to know
anything about ML programming to make your own sounds, but you will
need to be able to run the Star assembler, preferably on a PC.

Please send mail to "ervin@pinbot.enet.dec.com" if you are interested.

Regards,
