To edit the information in the file’s header, click on the additional options button (…) and select Edit
info.
In this dialog, you can change the file’s format and the information stored in its header. For example, you
can select the start and end times of a sustain loop (this loop information is used by the Sample Sound).
Generator Templates
The generator templates generate new waveform segments that replace the selection in the graphic editor
when you click the Insert button. If nothing is selected in the graphic editor, the new segment will be inserted
into the file at the insertion point when you click Insert.
The pop-up menu in the upper left of the generator section includes several templates for generating
standard shapes or functions. The pop-up list also includes a short Smalltalk program corresponding to
each of the templates, so you can modify the code or use the template code as an example or starting
point for writing your own function-generating program.
To select a template, click on the arrow to the right of the list. You will see a hierarchical pop-up list. Select
the desired template.
The following templates are available in the sample editor.
Buzz
Generates the specified number of harmonic sine waves, starting with the Lowest Harmonic. The amplitude
of each harmonic is the AmpBase raised to the power of the harmonic number. For example, if
you specified an AmpBase of 0.5, then the amplitude of the third harmonic would be 0.125.
