- <P><FONT size=2>This
- tool is a wave to C/C++ converter/generator mainly designed to use in GBA sound
- development.</FONT></P>
- <P><FONT style="COLOR: black"> <FONT
- size=2> The software is able to convert multiple input to output
- wave formats. Based on a practical Windows graphical user interface, it is
- possible to form a list of input waves, set the output desired format (8-44.1 KHz
- sampling rate, 8 bit, Mono for GBA) for each wave file in
- list, test the converted format and finally to generate C/C++ module and header
- files suitable to use in GBA sound development. Most of the PCM formats are
- supported for input waves files (8/16 bit,Mono/Stereo/8-44.1 KHz). </FONT> </FONT></P>

- <P><FONT size=2><STRONG>Tektronic Wave </STRONG>is easy to use and understand
- only using it for a few minutes. For this reason it will be
- explained only the main functionality. Below it is shown the main
- window:</FONT></P>
- <P><IMG alt="" src="tektronicscreen.jpg" ></P>
- <P><FONT size=2>For each wave file added in list you can see the original wave properties.
- When you add an wave file, it will be asked to associate C/C++ variable.
- Using "at sampling rate [KHz]", for each wave file in list you mark the output
- sampling rate, implicitly at 8 bit, Mono (suitable for GBA sound). Before
- to generate, use "Play converted" button to hear the differencies. The "Test
- generator" button will inform you if it is possible to convert between all input
- to output formats for all wave files in list. The wave files must use PCM
- format. After pressing "Generate" button, the tool will generate two C/C++ files,
- "sound.c" and "sound.h" in the current directory. Along with <STRONG>Tektronic
- Wave</STRONG> comes the "TektronicWave.h"
- file. This file is #include (d) in both
- above generated files. See it for more details. The data samples are converted as
- const signed/unsigned char C/C++ array. In your project #include "sound.h" and
- compile & link the "sound.c" file. In fact, you will use the
- associated variables as PCMSOUND typedef structure defined in
- "TektronicWave.h" header file. See source demo for GBA in download section
- of this help file to see a real use of the associated variables. The PCM data
- format in wave files have the following values: 0 low - 128 middle - 255 high.
- For GBA, the samples must be (-128) - 0 - 127. The tool convert between these
- ranges if you check the "PCM for GBA" option(default). If not, the range
- values for samples remain unchanged.</FONT></P>
