I know the IFF spec in the back of the Rom Kernal Reference Manual: EXEC
has IFF formats for sound files.

| 1077.2 | DMCS is NOT a pd format---Use SMUS | MVCAD3::BAEDER | | Fri Jan 15 1988 08:49 | 14 |
| Sorry, but as I have it, the DMCS file format is proprietarty to
EA! But the SMUS format that sonix uses (and DMCS can play/convert)
is a public IFF format documented in the IFF book, available from
cats (thats Comodore...) I think the address and specifics of all
the tech doc available is in the notes file, but if you need it
drop me a line, or poke around in the mvcad3::user0:[amiga.usenet]
area (at least I think its in there)
SMUS is a fairly simple music format with 4 voices. I havent played
with it much, most of what Ive done has been with instrument files
(8SVX)...watch for some truely PD instruments from the dealer demo
disk appearing at an e-net drop near you ;^)

CATS address is in note 864.3 (just happen to have a printout here - wanted to
get the developer support stuff...)
BTW. Whats the story with sound/music. Does SMUS play things like 1812OVER?

| 1077.4 | more on music incompatabilities... | MVCAD3::BAEDER | | Fri Jan 15 1988 09:06 | 13 |
| the sonix version is smus I think...havent looked at it that close....
SMUS is the format for storing the info...kind of like low-res IFF...if
you have a display program that did low res, and HAM...it can disply
both a-ok...but if it only knows low-res...then any HAM picture
won't disply at all..
so best way is to look at the iff file and see if its DMCS or SMUS
Sorry this may not exactly answer the question, but its just as
frustrating to me that so much good DMCS music is out there, and
no PD way of playing it!
scott.
