WAV2SDS Version 1.1 - May 20, 1993
PCM Audio (WAV) to Sample Dump Standard (SDS) Conversion
by Andreas Kuefmann
CompuServe : 100117,2226
Internet : kuefmann@saar.zfe.siemens.de
Features:
--------
- conversion of WAV files (8 bit / 16 bit) into Sample Dump Standard (SDS)
- specification of loop parameters
Required Syntax : WAV2SDS <WAV-filename> [<LOOP Begin> <LOOP End>]
---------------
1.) WAV2SDS : the conversion program
2.) <WAV-filename> : the WAV audio file to be converted into SDS
3.) <Loop Begin> : a loop begins at sample number <Loop Begin>
if this parameter is omitted, the loop will begin with
the first sample
4.) <Loop End> : a loop ends at sample number <Loop End>
if this parameter is omitted, the loop will end with
the last sample
Examples:
--------
WAV2SDS organ.wav : conversion of organ.wav into a SDS file
called organ.sds
the entire sample will be looped
WAV2SDS organ.wav 123 456 : conversion of organ.wav into a SDS file
called organ.sds
the sample will loop from sample number 123 to
sample number 456
Requirements:
------------
Since this program is compiled with the GNU 386 C++ Compiler which produces
code for the 80386/80486 processors there are some restrictions:
1.) You must have a 80386 / 80486 processor
2.) Since WAV2SDS works in combination with a included DOS Extender the CPU
must be in real mode (otherwise you'll get an error message)
This means that you have to remove the EMM386 driver of your autoexec.bat
(just put a "rem" in front of the line and reboot the system)
Summary:
-------
1.) Get a WAV file (e.g. xylophon.wav out of the WINDOWS directory)
2.) Convert it with WAV2SDS
3.) Transfer the SDS file as a system exclusive message to your synthesizer
I hope that my program will work on your PC. I tested it with my equipment
which consists of - 80486 PC
- Pro Audio Spectrum 16 (PAS 16) soundcard
- Yamaha SY85 synthesizer
Please contact me and tell me if WAV2SDS is useful to you or if you have any
problems with it. (See also my program SDS2WAV)
