ActionEditor, PowerMelody, and PowerIO are three assistant tools for Alpha series voice IC. They can be combined with EzCode software to help you program more easily.
This article introduces how to realize the IO output function by using these 3 tools worked with EzCode4E.
ActionEditor: In ActionEditor, you can set time length, edit ramps or splines (The edited ramps or splines can be saved into ADB in duty cycle form), as well as output waveforms with various duty cycles from IO to realize the gradual change of fade in and fade out function.
PowerMelody: In PowerMelody, you can add actions, background codes, and VoiceMelody codes into Midi to realize the Action output of IO with Midi playing, or synchronous start of background path.
PowerIO: You can edit actions synchronized with voice playing or start up simultaneous background path by using PowerIO.
1 Using Action
Use ActionEditor to edit Actions and save them, please see the figure1 below:
As shown in the Figure 1, 4 actions have been edited (For how to edit action, please refer to ActionEditor_UM_Eng_v1-x.pdf). For LED, A01 is a ramp up and ramp down action. A02 is a flash action. A03 is an action with 30% brightness. A04 is an action with brightness change.
Open or create a new project file in EzCode4E, and then key in client name and related information.
