ProStationAudio Tooltypes



SHOW_SCR_SELECTOR Add this tooltype to have the application open the screen mode selector at each launch. This is usefull to bypass the saved screen preferences in order to redefine them.

Example: SHOW_SCR_SELECTOR

IMPORT_PATH Add this tooltype to set a default path for the import requester.

Example: IMPORT_PATH=HD2:/recordings


OUT_DRIVER Add this tooltype to select an audio driver other than the one buil-in.

Example: OUT_DRIVER=<driver name>

ULTRA_WGFX Add this tooltype to have the application handle/store high resolution waveform graphics inside ALSF (AudioLabs Support Files) files.
Example: ULTRA_WGFX

TASKPRI Add this tooltype to change the application priority.

Settings:

  • no tooltype (standard priority)
  • HIGH (high priority, recommended)
  • ULTRA (very high priority, can interfere with system operations)

Example: TASKPRI=HIGH

PAULAFASTDMA Add this tooltype to have the internal audio subsystem work at the nominal sample rate (1:1). Normally the driver for the internal audio subsystem subsamples (2:1) audio streams in realtime.

When using this tooltype an open 31KHz screen is required, in order to have the system DMA move audio data at double the normal rate.

Example: PAULAFASTDMA

C_MEM_MODEL Add this tooltype to change the amount of memory allocated to the application. This setting influences the maximum size allowed for a session to be played or mixed to disk. It doesn't influence the size of the session itself, you can add as many objects as your free memory permits.

The "weight" of a session is determined by the amounts of tracks times the timeline duration. For example, a 5 minutes timeline with 8 tracks (5 times 8), needs more memory than a 10 minutes timeline with 2 tracks (10 times 2).

Settings:

  • MINI
  • SMALL
  • MEDIUM
  • LARGE
  • HUGE

Example: C_MEM_MODEL=LARGE

VMM_BUFFERS Add this tooltype to change the amount of memory allocated to the virtual memory manager. This setting influences the amount of tracks that can be played in realtime. Increasing the amout of memory allocated allows to handle more tracks at once but also increases the delay between the instant you issue the Play command and the time the system actually starts playing.

With the maximum setting, the VMM consumes 16MB RAM.

Settings:

  • MINI
  • SMALL
  • MEDIUM
  • LARGE
  • HUGE

Example: VMM_BUFFERS=LARGE

CGFX_DEPTH Add this tooltype to open screens optimized for graphic cards. Don't use this if a graphic card is not installed.

Example: CGFX_DEPTH

NOBACKDROP Use this tooltype to reduce chipram usage. The decorative solid color screen backdrop is replace with color zero.

Example: NOBACKDROP

USE_PPC_POWERUP Use this tooltype to enable PPC support. The application will look for the PPC CPU and will use it.

Example: USE_PPC_POWERUP
