Well, I've been playing with the Sound Manager, and I think I grok it pretty well. I can play in stereo, I can play at 44KHz, I can do all sorts of nifty things. However, I have two questions, and I thought I'd ask here before (a) doing a lot of trial and error to find out, or (b) annoying people at Apple via AppleLink. 1) In the original notes I have about the Mac II, it says that the sound circuitry can operate in a "companding" mode, thus dramatically increasing the dynamic range of the resulting sound. However, I have no idea how to turn this on. Was this just a gleam in someone's eye, or is it just undocumented :-)? 2) The Sound Manager will let me open as many channels of sampled sound as I want. How many can I have actually producing sound at once on a Mac II? How about an SE or a Plus? Thanks for any help, Clayton M. Elwell <elwell@tut.cis.ohio-state.edu> Ohio State University CIS Dept.
