I've entered this note before and didn't get a streight answer. The question is .... Is there a way to play IFF soundfiles from AmigaBasic?? If there is I would really like to have an example of how. I feel certain some of real programmers/hackers out threr can figure this one out. All I got is a floppy, Mike B.

Ok two ways... First the Stan Gifford Quick and dirty way. 1. Open Iff file. Find out where sample is and how big (You will have to refer to some manual like RKM for IFF formats! 2. Allocate enough memory for sample 3. Read sample in. Or Find some routine in PD (Try fish) that will read IFF - that will probably do 1,2 & 3. Ok. Now you have a sample in memory, now reserve an audio channel and issue a doio to that channel, and your sample will play. As you can see a simple answer is not really available, I can upload a simple C program that does the above - you could then try converting it to Abasic. Stan. | |||||

Also in the FF library (check note 1156) is a IFF library written by Christian Webber. I wrote a Hisoft program that will read an iff file and display it. I have not tried it from AmigaBasic. Also look into the Abacus books on Amiga Basic there are some IFF routines there that will work with Amiga Basic. I can upload the IFF Hisoft program but it would need to be modified for Amiga Basic as I used some of the window features of Hisoft that does not exist in amiga Basic. | |||||
