Sound 1.2 - lets you mathematically create sounds in Java. You define your sounds in terms of 16-bit linear code for the waveform, -- an array of samplings. The U_Law.class will then convert that to (or from) *.AU mu-law 8-bit encoding format which you can then play with AudioPlayer.player.start(bis) in an application or with Applet.getAudioClip in an applet. Use winzip to extract U_Law.java and TestSound.java with folder names into the cmp\sound directory. You need Javac.exe and java.exe set up. See "getting started" in the Java glossary. then type: cd \cmp\sound javac *.java cd \cmp java com.mindprod.sound.TestSound By Roedy Green of Canadian Mind Products.
