I have recently gained access to a SUN SPARCstation 1+ with a sound chip. It has a small library of demo sounds but I was wondering if anyone has or knows where to get more sounds or preferably music for this machine. Thanks. -- ------------------------------------------------------------ |Colin McFadyen |Speed is a question of Money.| |Systems Support |How fast do you want to go? | |Carleton University | Mad Max. |

I also have some Rush, Metallica, and Zappa stuff. The problem with the soundtool is that it limits it's buffer size to 100 seconds which thereby truncates most songs about right at the guitar solo. I've tried recompiling the source code (/usr/demo/sound.c) but can't seem to find the proper include files. If any of you got em', please reply. Right now I can't give you my sounds because my mail account is seperate from the system on which I have the sounds. Please email another request and I will return some sounds to you as soon as possible. This will be experimental since I have'nt tried sending sounds over the net except for ftp. Another thing to consider is that the ISDN chip in the SPARCstation (the AM79C30) is only 8-bit samples, and has a bandwidth specifically for voice over telephone (about 4kHz). Nothing really sounds very good that I've heard so far. You can order an interface from Sun that will allow you not only to play the sounds through an external amplification system, but will also allow you to take your own samples from mics, CD players etc. The part number is 530-1594-01. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------- ~@@@@@~ & ___ John Giannangeli | | | _ _ | ~@@~@~@@~ |||| Product Technician | | |_| | | |_ |_/\ /\ _ /\~(* *)~/\ **** Sun Microsystems | | | |_| | \/ \/ \} W {/ | Milpitas, California | | |________..| ~@\ /@~ * | | | _____|______|_____ @~@\ W /@~@ o . nange@eb4ts2 | | |~~~ --- | ~@@~\_/~@@~ Mailstop: M4-57 | | |__________________| x33809, x33847, x35631| |MISSION: MERGING MUSIC AND TECHNOLOGY FOR ALL MANKIND | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
