This section explains how to configure the basic tooltypes for a quick
start. For an extended and complete tooltypes description please see
the Reference Manual.
To configure basic tooltypes:
- On the Workbench screen, click once on the application
icon, then select the Icons->Information... menu
item.
- A window opens. Proceed by editing the tooltypes as explained below.
Disk buffers configuration:
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.
Set:
- VMM_BUFFERS=SMALL for a 16MB RAM system
- VMM_BUFFERS=MEDIUM for a 32MB RAM system
- VMM_BUFFERS=LARGE for a 64MB RAM system
Audio board configuration:
OUT_DRIVER:
Add this tooltype to select an audio driver other than the built-in one.
Set:
The corresponding driver must be present into the Drivers drawer.
Drivers are available for downloading on the AudioLabs server.
