Precautions For The Tone Editor Version 1.13 And; Sound Driver Version 1.27 - Sega SATURN Device Manual Supplement

13. Precautions for the Tone Editor Version 1.13 and Sound Driver
Version 1.27
· Only the poly mode is not supported. Do not use the mono mode since it has a
playback bug.
· PORTAMENTO TIME and VOLBIAS in the voice window do not function.
· Pan and Vol settings made with MIDI Control Change Events commands do not
take effect until a voice of that channel is turned on again.
· There are several bugs in the operation of the PEG, so it may not operate as
expected.
· The data format of the Tone Editor has been changed. Data created with Version
0.91 and older cannot be used.
· When playing a voice, send the number corresponding to the program change.
If the program change number of a nonexistent voice is sent, then it is ignored.
· The Tone Editor references AIFF data by file name to prevent the increase in the
amount of data due to redundant tone data. That is, if AIFF data is selected that is
the same as another layer in the same tone data, then the data is not loaded again.
Instead, the AIFF data already stored in DRAM from the preceding tone is used.
Therefore, even if an AIFF file captured to the tone data is edited with a waveform
editor, the Tone Editor will not read the newly edited AIFF data if the file name is
the same. Because of this, the tone data will not be updated. To load the data,
either change the file name or load it again after loading different data.
