# THE BOTB SOUND DEVICE MANUAL

Thank you for purchasing the BotB Sound Device.

## Chapter 1: Understanding the thing

The BotB Sound Device is a micro-computer designed to generate sound and submittable files for any BotB Audio Format. It works by dark magic and a lot of doubt. Everytime you press a key or a button on your device, it will generate a full BotB Entry in the background. This way you dont have to worry about conversion or specific tools anymore. Simply select your format of choice at the top and then start pressing buttons and turn knobs. No matter what you do, you will receive a highly compatible and definitely not illegal file at the end. (Known bugs: Might end up with a .ftm instead of .nsf if the OHB time is less than 10 seconds before the deadline. Will get fixed in a future revision.)

## Chapter 2: Getting Started

Your first step should always be to select a format at the top. It will then start recording all your inputs. You can easily just play some simple melodies on the keyboard and change the sound by manipulating your inputs with the knobs and sliders. When youre done, simply use the USB-connector to move the created file to your device of choice and submit it to a battle. This device can also be used to simply jam out.

## Chapter 3: Settings

Another great feature is that you can set yer settings! This way, you can change output files in case a BotB format gives you several to choose from, or you can customize the sounds youre playing. Just experiment and youll find out!

## Chapter 4: Things to keep in mind

The whole tool is HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL! Some bugs can always occur. This includes:

- Wildchip files may get submitted to fakebit
- Accidentally submitting mp3 files to s3xmodit
- ignoring additional rules in bitpacks that are longer than 3 rows
- Timeouting on longer bitpacks represented by an image file
- suddenly changing the format to ChannelF when you want to heavily use FM

If you notice some of these mistakes happening, please advice the entrant on the usage of the BotB Sound Device. Thank you!
