**** Late additions ****
In an attempt to bring you the best sampling software for your
Atari ST, we have now included a couple of extra features that are
presently not documented in the manual. These two new features are
both located in the STOS Maestro sampler software (MAESTRO.PRG).
1 The record icon has an additional feature. If you right click on
this icon it will enter 'THRU' mode first, then when you hear some
sound you wish to sample simply press the RETURN key to start
recording.
This feature is useful for recording samples from the radio or any
'live' transmissions.
2 The filter icon also features a new function. Right clicking on this
icon produces a noise reduction filter option, this will search
through the sample in memory between the two pointers, Any low volume
areas it finds (like hissing sounds) will be filtered out, producing a
silent gap.
After recording people talking you'll find that this feature cleans up
the sample to give much better quality.
