| \subsection{\label{ref:peak_meter}Peak Meter} |
| The peak meter can be displayed on the While Playing Screen and consists of |
| several indicators. |
| \opt{HAVE_RECORDING}{ |
| For a picture of the peak meter, please see the While |
| Recording Screen in \reference{ref:while_recording_screen}. |
| } |
| |
| \begin{description} |
| \item [The bar:] |
| This is the wide horizontal bar. It represents the current volume value. |
| \item [The peak indicator:] |
| This is a little vertical line at the right end of the bar. It indicates |
| the peak volume value that occurred recently. |
| \item [The clip indicator:] |
| This is a little black block that is displayed at the very right of the |
| scale when an overflow occurs. It usually does not show up during normal |
| playback unless you play an audio file that is distorted heavily. If you |
| encounter clipping while recording, your recording will sound distorted. You |
| should lower the gain. |
| \note{Note that the clip detection is not very precise. |
| Clipping might occur without being indicated.} |
| \item [The scale:] |
| Between the indicators of the right and left channel there are little dots. |
| These dots represent important volume values. In linear mode each dot is a |
| 10\% mark. In dbfs mode the dots represent the following values (from right |
| to left): 0db, {}-3db, {}-6db, {}-9db, {}-12db, {}-18db, {}-24db, {}-30db, |
| {}-40db, {}-50db, {}-60db. |
| \end{description} |
| } |
| \subsection{\label{sec:contextmenu}The WPS Context Menu} |
| Like the context menu for the \setting{File Browser}, the \setting{WPS Context Menu} |
| allows you quick access to some often used functions: |
| |
| \subsubsection{Sound Settings} |
| This is a shortcut to the \setting{Sound Settings Menu}, where you can configure volume, |
| bass, treble, and other settings affecting the sound of your music. |
| See \reference{ref:configure_rockbox_sound} for more information. |
| |
| \subsubsection{Playlist} |
| The \setting{Playlist} submenu allows you to view, save, search and |
| reshuffle the current playlist. To change settings for the |
| \setting{Playlist Viewer} press \ActionStdMenu{} while viewing the playlist |
| to bring up the \setting{Playlist Viewer Menu}. |
| |
| \subsubsection{Playlist catalog} |
| \begin{description} |
| \item [View catalog.] This lists all playlists that are part of the |
| Playlist catalog. You can load a new playlist directly from this list. |
| \item [Add to playlist.] Adds the currently playing file to a playlist. |
| Select the playlist you want the file to be added to and it will get |
| appended to that playlist. |
| \item [Add to new playlist.] Similar to the previous entry this will |
| add the currently playing track to a playlist. You need to enter a name |
| for the new playlist first. |
| \end{description} |
| |
| \subsubsection{Rating} |
| The menu entry is only shown if \setting{Gather Runtime Information} is |
| enabled. It allows the asignment of a personal rating value (0 -- 10) |
| to a track which can be displayed in the WPS and used in the Database |
| browser. Press \ButtonRight{} to increment the value. The value wraps at 10. |
| |
| \subsubsection{Bookmarks} |
| This allows you to create a bookmark in the currently-playing track. |
| |
| \subsubsection{\label{ref:trackinfoviewer}Show Track Info} |
| \screenshot{rockbox_interface/images/ss-id3-viewer}{The track info viewer}{} |
| This screen is accessible from the WPS screen, and provides a detailed view of |
| all the identity information about the current track. This info is known as |
| meta data and is stored in audio file formats to keep information on artist, |
| album etc. To access this screen, % |
| \opt{PLAYER_PAD,RECORDER_PAD,IRIVER_H100_PAD,IRIVER_H300_PAD,IRIVER_H10_PAD}{ |
| press \ActionWpsIdThreeScreen. }% |
| \opt{ONDIO_PAD,IPOD_4G_PAD,IPOD_3G_PAD,IAUDIO_X5_PAD}{press \ActionWpsContext{} |
| to access the \setting{WPS Context Menu} and select |
| \setting{Show Track Info}. }% |
| \opt{RECORDER_PAD,PLAYER_PAD,ONDIO_PAD}{Use \ButtonLeft\ and \ButtonRight\ |
| to move through the information.}% |
| \subsubsection{Open With...} |
| This \setting{Open With} function is the same as the \setting{Open With} |
| function in the file browser's \setting{Context Menu}. |
| |
| \nopt{player}{ |
| \subsubsection{\label{sec:pitchscreen}Pitch} |
| |
| The \setting{Pitch Screen} allows you to change the pitch and (at the same |
| time) the playback speed of your \dap. The pitch value can be adjusted |
| between 50\% and 200\%. 50\% means half the normal playback speed and the |
| pitch that is an octave lower than the normal pitch. 200\% means double |
| playback speed and the pitch that is an octave higher than the normal pitch. |
| It is not possible to change the pitch without changing the playback speed and |
| vice versa. Changing the pitch can be done in two modes: procentual and |
| semitone. Initially (after the \dap{} is switched on), procentual mode |
| is active. |
| |
| \begin{table} |
| \begin{btnmap}{}{} |
| \ActionPsToggleMode |
| & Toggle pitch changing mode \\ |
| % |
| \ActionPsIncSmall{} / \ActionPsDecSmall |
| & Increase / Decrease pitch by 0.1\% (in procentual mode) or a semitone |
| (in semitone mode)\\ |
| % |
| \ActionPsIncBig{} / \ActionPsDecBig |
| & Increase / Decrease pitch by 1\% (in procentual mode) or a semitone |
| (in semitone mode)\\ |
| % |
| \ActionPsNudgeRight{} / \ActionPsNudgeLeft |
| & Temporarily increase / decrease pitch by 2.0\% \\ |
| % |
| \ActionPsReset |
| & Reset pitch to 100\% \\ |
| % |
| \ActionPsExit |
| & Leave the Pitch Screen \\ |

| \opt{MASCODEC}{ |
| \warn{Changing the pitch can cause audible 'Artifacts' or 'Dropouts'.} |
| } |

| This is a shortcut to the \setting{Equalizer}. See \reference{ref:EQ}. |

| Rockbox handles function buttons in a different way to the Archos software. |
| \ButtonFOne\ is always bound to the menu function, while \ButtonFTwo\ and |
| \ButtonFThree\ enable two quick menus. |
| |
| \ButtonFTwo\ displays some browse and play settings which are likely to be |
| changed frequently. This settings are Shuffle mode, Repeat mode and the Show |
| files options |
| |
| Shuffle mode plays each track in the currently playing list in a random order |
| rather than in the order shown in the browser. |
| |
| Repeat mode repeats either a single track (One) or the entire playlist (All). |
| |
| Show files determines what type files can be seen in the browser. This can be |
| just MP3 files and directories (Music), Playlists, MP3 files and directories |
| (Playlists), any files that Rockbox supports (Supported) or all files on the |
| disk (All). |
| |
| See \reference{ref:PlaybackOptions} for more information about these |
| settings. |
| |
| \begin{table} |
| \begin{btnmap}{}{} |
| \ButtonLeft & Controls Shuffle mode setting \\ |
| \ButtonRight & Controls Repeat mode setting \\ |
| \ButtonDown & Controls Show file setting \\ |
| \end{btnmap} |
| \end{table} |
| |
| \ButtonFThree\ controls frequently used display options. |
| |
| Scroll bar turns the display of the Scroll bar on the left of the screen on |
| or off. |
| |
| Status bar turns the status display at the top of the screen on or off. |
| Upside down inverts the screen so that the top of the display appears nearest |
| to the buttons. This is sometimes useful when storing the \dap\ in a pocket. |
| Key assignments swap over with the display orientation where it is logical |
| for them to do so. |
| |
| See \reference{ref:Displayoptions} for more information about these |
| settings. |
