What the Lark can do:
It can record sound samples from an external source and manipu-
late them in a wide variety of ways. You can save the samples to
disc in any of several different formats, some suitable for use on
other types of computer.
The Lark provides a high-quality stereo sound output. Using this,
you can output sound samples to, for example, a hi-fi system.
The Lark also includes a MIDI interface. This lets you interface
third-party software on the computer to MIDI-compatible peri-
pherals such
as
keyboards. The Lark's MID] interpreter also
enables you to use the card as a MIDI device in the same way
as a
synthesizer (though you don't get a keyboard).
As with all new software, the best way to gain an appreciation of
the capabilities of these programs is to experiment. If you have
any problems, refer first to the troubleshooting sections of your
manuals. Remember that there are also separate
Audio Works
and
MIDI
manuals.
Please return your product registration card to ensure swift
technical support and eligibility for any future software upgrades.
