Introduction

Purpose of this binder

This document is a tool guide for sound developers on this system. By reading this manual, you can understand the environment for sound development and how to use each sound tool.

■ Target for this binder

This manual is written for those who develop application software on this system and those who develop sound.

■ Composition of this binder

This document consists of the following nine manuals.

1. "Sound Development Manual"

Explains the overall flow of sound development. Read this manual first to get an overview of sound development.

2. "Sound Simulator User's Manual"

The
sound simulator is a simulator that allows sound data created with the sound tool to sound in the same state as when it was incorporated into the game.
This manual describes the functions and usage of the sound simulator.

7. “Parameter Editor User's Manual”

The
parameter editor (pEdit) has a function to rewrite the coefficient data and address constant data included in the DSP program downloaded onto the SCSP / DSP hardware. This manual describes the features and usage of pEdit.

8. “Sound Programming Tool User's Manual”

This manual describes the text editor, assembler, and linker. These tools are for those who want to develop sound programs on the Macintosh and are not necessary for normal sound development.

9. "Sound Programming Debugger User's Manual"
