| Conversion of samples tends to be very simple (ish).
Firstly be aware (look at the data), to see if the sample has a low at 0 or -127.
(I*M PC samplers tend to have a low starting at 0.)
on the AMIGA (cheers from the crowd), samples have a low commencing at -127.
How do I convert then I hear you asking. Simple just add -127 to each sample
value.
Next you will need to determine the sample rate - I normally guess - a normal-ish
rate if between 8k and 12k.
Finally you will have to read the sample into memory - thats fairly easy.
Then with trusty Rom kernal manual at your side, allocate and audio channel
and play it!
In EOT:: are the rom kernal manual examples, which have nice bits of code which
will....
show you how to allocate a channel
and show you how to play a sample!
Stan.
P.S I really should upload the undocumented, uncommented kludges I have
put together over the years to do some of this stuff!

| Better yet, how about turning those into a audio package that is to audio
files what PPM/PBM are to graphics files? There are people on usenet who'd
*love* to have this kind of thing (me, I want it only after I get audio
out of my DECStation...).

| He's a famous writer of operating systems, I think. I've seen books
written by him for loads of different machines so he must be pretty
hot at what he does...

| I came across this one while looking for Waldo. It's probably in lotsa
other places already, but if it ain't, try CRISTA""::AMIGA:MACTO8SVX.LZH.
Hope it helps...

MacTo8SVX is a AmigaOS 2.0 program which converts Macintosh digitized sound
data to an Amiga IFF 8SVX sound file.
The program assumes that the Mac data is simply that (a stream of bytes
without a header, resource fork, or whatever). I got the speeds for the
sampling rates from the March/April 1990 AmigaMail article by John Orr.
This program only runs under AmigaOS 2.0 (I couldn't resist the IFFParse
library or the new DOS calls... Thanks to Leo, Stuart, and C=.
This program is not copyrighted and may be destributed or modified in any
way you desire. If you make modifications, I'd appreciate credit where due.
