!SampleCD v1.15   A sound sample creator for Acorn Risc Computers
� Paul Wilkinson 1996

About !SampleCD
===============

**********************************************************************
Read the distribution conditions below.  Under *NO* circumstances must 
!SampleCD be used to violate Copyright on audio recordings.
**********************************************************************

N.B. !SampleCD requires RiscOS 3.10+, CDFS 2.21+, CDFSdriver 2.21+ and a CDRom
drive which supports the CD_ReadAudio software interrupt.
     
This program is designed to sample audio data from CDs and convert it into a
variety of formats understood by your Acorn computer.  It can currently save
data in the following formats:-

Raw CD data	 (16 bit stereo, signed linear)
Acorn Replay	 (16 bit stereo)
Armadeus	 (8 bit mono)
Logarithmic	 (8 bit mono representation of 12 bit mono)
Linear unsigned  (8 bit mono)
Linear signed	 (8 bit mono)

Any decent sample editor should be able to handle most of these formats
(commercially Sonor or AudioWorks are available, whilst in the public domain
SampConv, Effex, DSEdit, Sox or SoundCon should suit most requirements).


How to use !SampleCD
====================

The Main Window
---------------

Double click on the !SampleCD icon to launch the program.  The program will
check your system for you before starting up.  Firstly, if you don�t have the
modules mentioned above, !SampleCD won�t start.  If you have the correct modules
you still won�t be able to use the program if your drives do not support the
CD_ReadAudio call.  !SampleCD will test any CDRom drives attached to your
computer and will warn you if any of them don�t support this call.  Clicking on
the iconbar icon which appears will open the SampleCD window.  At the top of
this window are a row of CD-style controls.  While the disc is playing, these
act as normal CD player controls (i.e. play, stop, pause, previous track, next
track, rewind, fast forward).  When the disc isn't playing, the last four
controls (ie the track and position ones) affect the �Start� setting in the
�Selection� panel (see below).  The action of the �play� button has three
settings; play entire disc, play selected track and play current sample
selection.  The action can be set by clicking the appropriate radio button under
the CD controls.  Below these radio buttons on the left are the controls for
selecting which drive to create samples from.  On the right are two other icons
which show the currently playing track and time.

The second panel selects the section of the disc you wish to sample.  As
mentioned above, when the disc isn't playing, the CD player icons can be used to
set the start time.  However, there is an easier way to choose which section of
the CD you want to sample.  Set the disc playing and use the CD player icons to
get the disc near to the section you wish to sample.  Then when you hear the
start of this section, press the �Set Start� button.  Similarly, when you hear
the end of this section, press �Set Length�.  This automatically enters the
correct values in the writable icons.  For even �ner control, these values can
also be typed in.  The format of the writable icons is
Minutes:Seconds:Hundredths.  Note that when entering the time in these icons,
the handler is reasonably intelligent, so you can get away with typing 1:5 and
this will convert to 01:05:00 (one minute and �ve seconds into the given track).

The third panel controls the saving of the sample.  The three upper left-hand
icons are a standard RiscOS save box; simply drag the icon to where you want the
sample to be saved.  The uppermost text icon shows the format that the sample
will be saved in.  To change this, click menu over the text icon, or click the
menu icon just to its right.  The sample frequency is selected in exactly the
same manner.  The �buffer� icon selects whether or not the sample is taken in
sections via a buffer or all in one go.  The advantage of using a buffer is that
your sample can be any length (without using the buffer, only samples that are
short enough to �t into the available memory can be taken).  The length of the
buffer sections (in seconds) is displayed in the text icon to the right.  This
can be increased/decreased by clicking the up/down icons respectively.  The last
icon in this panel, labelled �Correction� is only available if sampling via a
buffer is on.  If this icon is selected, any errors caused by the sample
sections not quite aligning properly will be corrected.  These errors can cause
audible �clicks� at the edges of each section.  It takes just a little longer
than if no correction is used.

Finally, the main menu has three options.  �Info� and �Quit� are the standard
menu entries, and �Save Options� saves the state of the Sample Type, Frequency
and the three Buffer icons.

Note that Acorn�s interactive help is supported by SampleCD.

Creating A Sample
-----------------

Set the correct start position and sample length in the writable icons as
described above.  Select the desired sample format and frequency.  If you are
using the buffer, set the desired buffer length and whether you need alignment
correction.  If the CD is playing ******STOP THE DISC****** and let it spin down
for a couple of seconds.  If the disc isn�t stopped there is a good chance that
some or all of your sample will be corrupted.  I�m not sure why this is but I
guess that the CD driver has some sort of audio buffer that must be allowed to
clear.  Now drag the save icon to a directory viewer or enter a complete path
name in the icon and the sample will be saved.

Help!  The start of my sample is corrupted!
-------------------------------------------

If the sample you�ve lovingly crafted turns out to have noise in the �rst couple
of seconds, don�t worry, this is quite common.  To �x it you can try two things.
 Firstly, press the �Stop� CD player control and wait a few seconds.  Now try
taking the sample again (the settings in the �Start� and �Length� boxes should
still be the same, so you�ll get the same sample).  If this doesn�t work, click
in the box next to �Start� that shows the track number and type in the previous
(or next) track number and press Enter (note, don�t use the �Next� and
�Previous� CD player controls as this sets the start time to zero).  Now take
the sample from this track.  This hopefully will clear out any garbage from the
buffers.  Once this is done, type the original track number back into the
writable icon and save the sample you wanted originally.  It should now be �ne.

What are those two �les �ErrorOn� and �ErrorOff� for?
-----------------------------------------------------

If you happen to have two or more CD players connected to your system, and some
of them aren�t CD_ReadAudio compatible, the program will warn you of this every
time it starts up.  I reckon this could be quite annoying, so I put in these two
�les.  If you want to disable the compatibility warning, simple double click on
�ErrorOff�.  Similarly, double-clicking �ErrorOn� reenables this warning.

Finally
-------

!SampleCD was developed on a RiscPC with a Cumana Indigo CD-Rom drive.  The
program should now be able to test your system for compatibility, so if you
don�t get any warnings about a particular drive, it should work!  I would be
very interested to know of any drives that slip through this net, or any drives
that do work but claim that they don�t!  Especially PLEASE let me know if the
program works (most people only seem to want to get in touch if there is a
problem!)  Please note that this program has been developed without the aid of
the PRMs and in-between times whilst studying for my PhD and doing all the other
interesting and cool things that physicists get up to in their spare time.  If
it works on your system, great.  If not, please get in touch and I�ll do my
best, but I�m not promising anything.

I can be contacted via the internet at

ppxpbw@ppn1.physics.nottingham.ac.uk (should be okay until early 1997 or so)

Stop Press
----------

There is a problem with the ATAPI driver on newer systems that will cause
SampleCD to think audio CDs are in fact CDRoms!  There is nothing I can do 
about this, it *isn't* my fault!  I have included a posting to C.S.A.Programmer 
which gives a possible fix.  All I can suggest is; try it!

Known bugs
==========

As far as I know, I�ve now got rid of all of �em (yes, even the one that left
huge dynamic areas all over the place!).  PLEASE let me know if I�m wrong about
this.


Things to do
============

�Find some automatic way to avoid the corruption of samples (any ideas?)


History
=======

v1.00 13/03/95  First release version.
v1.01 22/03/95	Now positions window sensibly on the screen and bumps it back if
		the mode changes.  
		Also reduced the wimp slot size to a realistic value.
v1.10 30/05/95	Added some useful error messages (ie program now tells you if
		there isn�t enough memory).  
		Also added a variable length sample buffer.  
		Now uses Dynamic Areas on RiscOS 3.50+ instead of increasing the
		wimp slot.  
		Finally sorted out the uneven sample joining when using a buffer
		(this proved to be quite easy in the end!).
v1.12 09/07/95	Fixed whopping great bug, which I *think* was the cause of most
		of the incompatibility problems (in particular, all the clashes 
		with SCSI interfaces).
		Fixed minor (and very rare) bug that used to give extra � second
		of play at the end of Replay files.
		No longer restricted to sampling from drive 0.
v1.14 26/01/96	All allocated memory now freed up on errors.
		Checks each attached drive for CD_ReadAudio compatibility
v1.15 28/02/96	Moved menus to make them more �Acorn Style�.
		Added easy set start and length buttons.
		Added the facility to turn the compatibility warning off.
		Displays hourglass and percentage when sampling.
		Learnt how to spell �application� in the interactive help!

		  
Acknowledgements
================

Thank you to everyone who got in touch with me since the release of v1.00. 
!SampleCD is now a much more polished (and hopefully robust) program than
before, due in no small part to your comments, suggestions and in one case,
actual material reward!  Cheers guys, you know who you are.


Compatibility
=============

I�ve given up maintaining a list.  The program should now tell you if it will
work or not.  I�ve had positive reports on A5000s, RiscPCs and A7000s.  Both IDE
and SCSI seem to work, and so do double and quad speed devices.  Most successes
appear to have been with Cumana and HCCS products so far.


Recommended Software
