The PSG list is inferred from all your subsongs, so that you are sure to extract the sound the way it currently sounds. The <strong>replay frequency<\/strong> also comes from all the subsongs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>export range<\/strong> allows to export as many notes as you want, for example, from C-3 to F-7, with one WAV file per note, using the <strong>base filename<\/strong> as the output file name, suffixed by the note name (<em>BeepC#4.wav<\/em> for example).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>minimum duration is seconds<\/strong> is important, because some PSGs sounds are declared as short (one frame, looping). In this case, you probably want your WAV to last enough for the sound to be heard (unless you want to edit it with an audio editor, adding your own loop, which would be the efficient way of doing things). Hardware sounds especially will need a few seconds at least, because their sound changes as the software and hardware wave plays alongside. For such cases, enter a duration in seconds (such as 5, or 10). You can always edit the WAV after to trim it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The output frequency is <strong>44100<\/strong> Hz for PSG instrument.
