Using the diskwriter

OPENCP can write all sound output directly to hard disk. Data is written in standard .wav format. You can use this feature to burn audio cds from any sound format supported by OPENCP.

Although you can write .wav files in every possible sample format you should not alter the default of 44100KHz, 16bit, stereo. Currently the diskwriter can not be enabled on demand via <ALT>+<s>, so you have to alter your cp.ini file. It is clever to backup your existing ini file with the following command:
copy cp.ini cp.nrm

Now edit cp.ini with a text editor and make the following changes:
playerdevices=devpWSS devpGUS devpEWS devpESS devpPAS devpSB devpNone devpDisk devpMPx
change to
playerdevices=devpDisk
and some rows further down
loop=on
change to
loop=off

Save it and exit your text editor. Now make a copy of the new cp.ini file:
copy cp.ini cp.dsk
When you have finished with diskwriting you can restore the original configuration from the cp.nrm file and if you want to write another .wav file use the cp.dsk configuration.

Now simply start OPENCPand select a module to play. You will hear no output and notice that the module is played with maximum speed4.15. In the directory where you have started OPENCP(not necessaryly the directory where the module is located) subsequent .wav files named CPOUT000.WAV, CPOUT001.WAV will be created.
