Can the Spectre GCR handle mac sound? SUch as Digitized sounds from SoundCap or SoundEdit? Frank Rachel Bitnet:FRACHEL@UMIAMI

The base note asks if Spectre GCR can handle Mac sound. (I'll condense it for space reasons). Yes, it can. If selected, the Spectre software will produce sound using the same 370-byte digitized sound buffer the Mac uses. So it bleeps, blonks, and whatnot. SoundMaster works, so you can tie various MacSounds to Mac events (keyclick, beep, disk eject, etc.) Talking Moose works, if you're into that. I'm embarrassed to report that even MacPlaymate sound works (it's not that good, really!). Only exception: the latest Systems (6.0.2/3/4) did sound a different way, and we have some bug that prevents them from thinking they're running on a Mac Plus. It's in the process of being fixed. Sys 3.2 and such work just fine. The "Sound" CDEV will only appear in Mac Plus mode, by the way (ALT +; see manual). -- thanks, Dave / Gadgets by Small "I wish I could come up with something clever to put at the bottom of my messages."
