- Data Dump Commands -

:

These select the sample for display from the currently open file.

:

These move you forward and backwards in time through the sample. If you exit this menu and
then return, it will remember where you were.

hole:

Because the resolution of a standard IBM screens precludes the possibility of displaying an
entire 1 KByte block of data at a time, these commands allow you to display the first or second
512 Bytes, or the entire 1024 Bytes at half resolution.

itmap:

This command allows you to see a HEX dump of the audio data.

odify:

This command allows you to artificially set the filter cutoff frequency for a 1 KByte block of
data.

Fade In:
Fade Out:

These commands allow you to ramp the audio data up or down from/to a zero output level.
This can be used to eliminate 'pops' at the beginning or end of a sample. These usually aren't
a problem, as the playback hardware is designed to absorb 'pops' to some extent. 'Pops' are
usually created if you artificially cut a sample when a signal is at a very high level. Under these
circumstances, you may need to use these commands.

The changes are recorded into the disk file when any other page of data is displayed. If you
don't want to save any changes you have made, you must use the UNDO command BEFORE
any other.

Undo:

Restores a faded in / faded out data to its original form if done before any other command.

Start:

This command allows you to enter the time or block number you want to have displayed. It is
faster than hitting the arrow keys to move long distances.

Right/Left:

This toggles the display between the RIGHT and LEFT audio data.
