[net.micro] Need help creating sound effects

wilson@harvard.ARPA (Randy Wilson) (08/14/85)

I am writing a video game for the mac, and need some advice
on generating sound effects.  I have the basic game working,
but it would really be nice if I could get sounds as well.

I know how to use the free-form synthesizer to make sounds,
but where does one learn what to send it?  In other words,
what sort of a waveform should I make to get an explosion,
the sound of a shot being fired, or a low rumble for the
thrusting of the ship?

I would appreciate hearing of any good books on the subject,
even if the info is immersed in technical sound theory.

Thanks in advance,

Randy Wilson
