//∩∩rGun\\    *****************************************************rev2**

Hello World !   (seen that before:)
-------------

I've got no time to write a big DOC for such a small (lame¿?) proggy.
(However, it may be long awaited from lotsa guys...)

You got -MY- own code in Pascal7... Hope you'll understand. :)
It was not bugfixed, nor optimized.
In fact, I stopped this program when I finally got the 1024KB sample of
AWE's ROM. Hope this was not a miracle ! :)

TO USE THIS THING.
------------------
1°) Your AWE must be at $220.
2°) Just type the file name ; for example "C:\WATYAWAN"  
    (file will be saved as c:\WATYAWAN.RAW)  

    Note for lamers : of course type ANY file name at this prompt.
                      Huh ?? ANYFILENAME.RAW ? But... That can't be? :) :) :)

3°) Yep ! You should now have a 44Khz, 16Bit, RAW sample of about 1Mb.
    Edit this one with WaveStudio or whatever you want.

NOTE : 
------
This program may have some BUGs.
Reasons : 
- Well known -lack of docs-.
- I mostly "translate" the code from Cygnus X-1 (C++) into Turbo Pascal for my 
  personnal (funny) experiments on the AWE processor (Eµ8000).
  But: to be honnest : I DO NOT UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING ! :)
- Cygnus doesn't write -enough- comment about the VALUES he sends.
  Probably he had to hack some driver. However, BIG THANXX to █Cygnus X-1█ for 
  RELEASING his AWE-CODE ! WE NEED GUYS LIKE YOU ! 
  To every AWE supporting DUDE : PLEASE DO THE SAME !!!
  You're NOT a black hole, Cygnus ! ;)

Note about the dump.
1°) AWE gotcha lot of LFOs and envelopes (Volume, pitch, filter...), so the
 sound that you are dumping is NOT a finished product like a GUS patch.
 However : it was IMPOSSIBLE to access (especially write on disk) those ROM
 samples before, so you should be glad for now. You can now -modify- ROM
 sample to create your own instruments, and Samples are INTACT (no noise).
2°) As you may see, there is some text in the header (first bytes of ROM)
 but bytes are swapped to be compatible with .RAW format.
 For the ones who are curious, I saved this text in the RIGHT (ascii) order
 in the file REVERSE.ROM. Please note the (c) !

          If someone gotcha ANY "AWE32" code, p-l-e-a-s-e send it to me.
          We can exchange. We must progress in the knowledge of AWE features.
          I'm also interested on DOCs about ASP/CSP chip. Same remark.

GREETINGZ GO TO : Gene Roddenberry & TFL/TDV Brochette.
***************** Special thanx to Type One. He is now looking for someone
                  to exchange his old "GUS" for an impressive AWE32. ;)
                  (Hey : JOKE ! Send no mail about it :) :)
NOTE :
******
 I made another usefull release for AWE/SB16, it is a program that is
 able to replace the SB16SET mixer from Creative. (Every SB user uses that
 program AT LEAST because of the "SB16SET /P /Q" line in his autoexec.BAT)
 My program is M-U-C-H faster for that matter (loaded in 1/4 a second instead
 of 2 secs) and can Save/Edit/Load/QuickLoad up to 6 different CONFIGs.
 It has also more controls (24) + some undocumented ones, and every control is
 at maximum range (32 levels each), instead of 20 levels when using the SB16SET
 Etc... Etc... And of course : FREE ! See it by yourself ;
 DOWNLOAD "MASTMIX?.ZIP" where you get this stuff. (? is the version)
