Toccata Mixer 1.5                                              08-Jun-1999





     The  original  control  software  of the Toccata audio card looks
     nowadays  not  up to  date.  So  I decided to rewrite the Toccata
     Control Program.
     
     Requirements: 

       Kickstart - WB : 3.0 +
       Other software : MUI
       Other hardware : A Toccata Soundcard :)

     The  installation is very simple.  I think, that I don't need the
     Installer  for  this  files.   The ToccataMixer program should be
     copied to the WBStartup directory which is the best place for it.
     
     ToccataMixer  use  the same preferences file as ToccataControl so
     that no changes are necessary here.
     
     The program open a MUI application window with many gadgets where
     you can control the Toccata hardware.

     @{b}Tooltypes@{ub} -------------------------------------------------------

     	CX_POPUP  : If "YES" then the GUI appears at startup time.
                    
        SMALL_GUI : If "YES" then only a small GUI with the master
                    level slider will be displayed.
                    If "NO" then force a large GUI where all left
                    and right channels can be adjusted separately.

        QUIT_SAVE : If "YES" then force the QUIT,SAVE and CANCEL 
                    the application to quit.
                    Otherwise the application will be iconified.

        LEVEL_TASK: If "YES" then the levelmeters will be set to 
                    active. In my case this task disturb the serial
                    communication (over 38400) and I don't know why.

     @{b}Mode@{ub} ------------------------------------------------------------

     Here  you can select the recording mode and the sample frequency.
     A-Law and µ-Law are compressing methods for audio recording.

     @{b}Input@{ub} -----------------------------------------------------------

     The  cycle  gadget  selects the input source (LINE,AUX1,MIC,MIX).
     The  slider controls the input level (from 0dB up to 22.5dB).  If
     you selected MIC as input the range is from 0dB to 22.5dB without
     gain and from 0dB to 22.5dB with gain (+20dB).

     @{b}Mixer@{ub} -----------------------------------------------------------

     These sliders control  all the input, output and loopback levels.
     If  you  selected  a  large GUI then you can control the left and
     right channel of each source or output separately.

     @{b}Options@{ub} ---------------------------------------------------------

     For  the record and playback options please refer to the original
     manual printed by MacroSystems GmbH.
