Microsoft Windows versions 3.1, 3.11
SUMMARY
MicroKey/Audio Port is an external sound adapter manufactured by Video
Associates Labs that allows you to record and play high-quality
digital audio (wave and vocal files) through a parallel port.
Sound Recorder can be used to play and record wave (.WAV) files
through MicroKey/AudioPort.
MORE INFORMATION
Sound Recorder can play all standard Wave files formats, as well as
the MicroKey/AudioPort ADPCM 4-bit compressed format. However, it does
not provide a means for selecting which format to record.
By default, the Sound Recorder records audio files at 22kHz, 16 bits when
used with the MicroKey/AudioPort. If recording audio using different
formats
is desired, do the following:
- Copy the set of record template files from the MicroKey/AudioPort
Windows Disk 1 to a subdirectory on the hard drive. These files
are all in the form
RECssMbb.WAV
where "ss" indicates the sample rate and "bb" indicates the sample
size. To copy these files to the Windows directory, type:
copy a:\rec*.wav c:\windows
- Start Sound Recorder and choose Option from the File menu. Select
the directory where the record template files are stored and select
the template file that matches the sample rate and size.
- Record the desired audio.
- From the File menu, choose Save As to store the audio segment to a
file. The audio will be saved in the same format as that of the
loaded record template file.
Files recorded using the compressed (*M4.WAV) format are compatible
only with MicroKey/AudioPort. It may be unlikely that other audio
products will play these files.
The template files are write-protected to prevent accidental erasure.
To remove the files from the hard drive, change the read-only
attributes associated with each file.
