Re: [Audacity-nyquist] Windows install problem

[Steven J. <pl...@gm...>]

I'm not using Windows but take a look at these two global variables
*default-sf-directory* and *default-sound-file*

(For the record global variables in LISP typically have names like
*NAME*  The Astrix's are simply part of the variable name and used by
convention. They have no special meaning to the LISP interpreter.)

*default-sf-directory* should contain a valid path to your sample
directory. *default-sound-file* is the filename given to the file
written by play.  Oddly I can find *default-sf-directory* in the
global variables section of the Nyquist manual but I can not find
*default-sound-file* . Of course on Windows these things may be taken
care of in the registry?
