Wave output device | << Prev / Next >>

To display the menu for WAVE Output Settings, click right mouse button on the title bar.
Choose [SCMPX Settings] and the WAVE Output Settings dialog box appears.

Wave output device
Select the WaveOut device driver. Microsoft Wave Mapper is selected by default.

Playback Rate
You can choose the Playback Rate from four settings:
44k -> 44k
44k -> 22k
44k -> 11k
For example, "44k -> 22k" means lowering the frequency of 44KHz sound to 22KHz.
Lower Playback Rate lowers the sound quality, but it consumes less CPU.
"44k -> 44k" mode is selected by default, and it plays the files without lowering
the Playback Rate.

Decoder

[Overdrive] | ... Check this option to use SCMPX new engine "32bit Overdrive decoder". (*1)

Wave device information

(*1) 32bit Overdrive decoder
This is the new engine for SCMPX.
In most cases it should work at the same processing speed or even faster.
It has many common routine from the old decoder.
I call it "overdrive" decoder just to make it sound cool.
