Carts The cart is used to prepare a track for output.
Each cart has controls appropriate to the type of input and output used.
Currently supported inputs : WAV (PCM encoded) files, MPEG (1,2,3) files, and CD audio.
Currently supported outputs: all sound card(s) mixers.

There are five panels which you can switch through, which control various aspects of the cart. The buttons on the right of the cart control determine which panels you can switch to.


Main Panel



The track is set via the library, or by drag and drop from an explorer window.

Track duration is displayed if the track is valid. The box below this is the offset into the track, which can be set using the slider bar before and during play.

The play button starts the track, but once playing, the same button can be used to advance to the next cart or repeat the track. Stop and Pause buttons are also available.

There is a button to load a track (from the library) or eject an already loaded track. Once a track is started there is another button to break aswell as stop.

The link button controls the link between this cart and another cart.

Audio is controlled through volume and pan sliders and a mute button.
