Phon~
Plugs/Jacks - Phone plug (male connector)
or
jack
(female
connector) is a
single
prong
or single
hole
connector. The
difference between the
phon~
and
phonQ connectors is that the
phono connectors have a circular metal extension around the
plug
or hole.
PhonQ Plugs/Jacks - The phono plug (male
connector)
or jack
(female connector),
also
called RCA plug/jack,
is
used
by
many
record players, tuners,
etc.
for
connecting
one
to the
other.
It has a
single prong
or
hole with a
circular
metal extension around the plug
or hole,
Pixels - These are the small rectangles used
to form images on
your monitor. When using the Zoom functions in M's digitizer
software, the resolution is expressed
in
pixels, The highest
magnification,
1:1,
is
one
pixel per sample.
Playback Rate - The rate in Hz (samples per
second) at
which the
file is played.
You can change
the Audio Animator's Playback
Sample Rate
setting even
while
the file is being
played.
A higher
playback rate heightens the pitch and
speed (think
helium).
A
lower playback rate lowers the pitch
and speed (think horror films)
.
PrefIX - The ProD OS prefix is a standard default partial pathname
that is
added to any
file name
you
specify if your pathname is not
fully
qualified,
A fully qualified pathname is
one
that
starts
with the
volume name followed by any subdirectories
that
must be accessed
to find the file in question. A prefix is used to
shorten
the amount of
typing you must do to
specify
a pathname to
a
file. As
an
example,
suppose you
have
a volume
called
NATION
and that volume has
a
subdirectory
called
STATE
and you have a program file
called
CIT
Y
that is in the
STATE
subdirectory.
Without
a
prefix,
you would
have
to use
/NATION/
STATE/CITY
as the pathname
to
your file
.
You
could, however, set the prefix to
/NATION/STATE
and then you
would only have to
specify
CITY
as your pathname;
/NATION/STATE
would be
automatically
attached to the front
of
the
pathname you specified.
Prefix Directory - The Prefix Directory is the directory specified
by the current ProDOS prefix; i.e., if the prefix
is
set
as
/MY
. DISK/GAMES
then the Prefix Directory would be
the
subdirectory called
"GAMES"
found in the
/MY.
DISK
volume
directory.
RamKeeper - RamKeeper an Applied Engineering board
which
allows you to
set
up your
lIGS
memory card
as an "electronic hard
disk." This means you
can
load programs and data files at a super-
fast rate from RAM without having to insert and
swap
disks.
Programs and data files can be retained in memory even
after
the
computer is shut off for instant access next time you power up.
