Creating a text file of map information
The currently selected map will be the active map. From now on, the sound driver will operate with this map as the current map (currently valid map). At this time, if the map file information is set to automatically send, the file data will be transferred automatically.
Starting the sound system
Starts the sound system based on the data such as the sound driver that was transferred in advance.
system send
Use this when the target board becomes unusable for some reason and needs to be reset. This saves you the trouble of sending the system and restarting SoundSimulator.
If you wish to send a customized driver, please place the driver file with the file name "SDDRV.TSK" in the same folder as the sound simulator and run this menu.
Send file
Transfers the currently selected file data onto the target. When you click on the file you want to transfer, it will be highlighted in black, indicating that it has been selected. If you want to specify multiple files at the same time, hold down the Shift key and click the next file. Click the selected file again to deselect it and return it to its normal white display.
Change effects
Switches between DSP programs when there are multiple DSP programs on the current map. Click on the DSP program you want to switch to, and it will be highlighted in black, indicating that it has been selected.
Change mixer
Changes the mixer number 0 of the bank file selected from multiple bank files on the current map. If multiple mixers exist in the bank file, if you want to change to a mixer other than number 0, you will need to change it from the sound simulator described below.
