INSTALLATION
------------
- Copy the whole directory anywhere you want and just launch the program.
USAGE NOTES
-----------
- Audio files can be loaded/configured as samples or music files.
- Samples consume more memory, but can be played simultaneously with other
sounds.
- The Flush button purges samples from memory, so the memory is freed.
- Music files are streamed from disk, but only one music file can be
played at a time.
- Clicking the graphical button at the lower right corner opens the full screen
soundboard display.
- Click sound images with the left mouse button or press a corresponding
keyboard shortcut to get them to play. Do the same with the Control key
pressed or click an image with the right mouse button to stop playback.
- Exit from the full screen mode with the Esc key or click in the upper left
corner of the screen.
- "Default graphics", "Show filename", "Show hotkeys", and "Load embedded
images" settings affect what is shown with soundboard images in the full
screen display.
