NAME

       sfxtest - test utility for the Linux AWE32 driver

SYNOPSIS

       sfxtest [command parameters] ...

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page  documents  briefly the sfxtest command.  This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution (but may be
       used by others), because the original program does not have a manual page.

       sfxtest is a program designed for testing that the Linux AWE32 driver has been set up properly, and that the appropriate  patch	files  are
       loaded correctly (using sfxload(1), or gusload(1)).

OPTIONS

       The program takes a series of commands followed by arguments. It accepts the following commands:-

       X      Instructs the program to use channel control mode.

       x channel
	      Changes the channel being operated on to channel

       b bank Changes the bank being used to bank

       p program
	      Changes the program (instrument) being used to program

       n note velocity
	      Sends a noteon command for note note at velocity velocity

       k      Kills a note (sends noteoff).

       K note Kills the note note (used for channel mode).

       r value
	      Sets the pitch sense to value

       w value
	      Sets the putch wheel to value

       t      time Waits for time hundredths of a second.

       c value
	      Sets the panning value to value

       v note velocity
	      Changes the key pressure of note to velocity velocity

       D mode Sets the debug mode of the driver to mode

       C mode Sets the chorus type to mode

       R mode Sets the reverb type to mode

       F parameter value
	      Sends an effect command type parameter , with value value

       I      (Re-)Initializes the AWE32 driver and EMU8000 chip.

NAME

       SF2TEXT - program to convert SBK or SF2 (SoundFont) files to text format

SYNOPSIS

       sf2text SoundFont [outputfile]
       txt2sfx [-Bv] [-m mode] [-d sf2file] textfile sfxfile
       sfxtext sfxfile
       gus2sfx [-Bv] [-m mode] [-d sf2file] textfile sfxfile

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page  documents  briefly the sf2text , txt2sfx , sfxtext , and gus2sfx commands.  This manual page was written for the Debian
       GNU/Linux distribution (but may be used by others), because the original program does not have a manual page.

       All these programs are used for converting from various common patch file formats (SoundFont and GUS) into a  proprietary  format  used	by
       older versions of the AWE32 driver. Although newer versions of the driver and utilities are still compatible with these formats, these for-
       mats do not support multiple layer voices, and in general, you should use sfxload(1), and gusload(1) to	load  SoundFonts  or  GUS  patches
       directly.   sf2text  is a program which converts SoundFont (.SBK and .SF2) files into an intermediate text format used by txt2sfx.  txt2sfx
       is a program which converts the text format output by sf2text into a binary format "sfx" file. This file can be read by	sfxload(1).   sfx-
       text  takes  an	"sfx" file, and converts it back to the text format.  gus2sfx is a program which converts from GUS-format patch files into
       the sfx format handled by

OPTIONS

       The programs follow the usual UNIX command line syntax, but don't support long options (ones starting with two dashes  `-').  sf2text,  and
       sfxtext do not support any options. txt2sfx and gus2sfx support the following options:

       -B     Adds a 48-byte blank loop to the end of each sample.

       -v     Increases the verbosity level. Using this option more than once causes the output to become increasingly verbose.

       -m mode
	      Sets  the  instrument usage mode when multiple definitions are found for the same instrument (multi-layered instruments): 0 means to
	      use the first found, 1 means to use the last, and 2 means to merge them.

       -d sf2file
	      Includes raw sample data found in the SoundFont file sf2file
