About 8SVXtoXXX v1.2 by Deniil 715!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This program was made in 1999-08-26.
Intro:
~~~~~~
The is a sample-converter which can convert mono and stereo
IFF-8SVX samples to:
* IFF-8SVX - mono/stereo
* RAW - mono/stereo, 8/16 bit, motorola/intel, signed
* Audio IFF - mono/stereo, 8/12/16 bit
* RIFF-WAVE - mono/stereo, 8/12/16 bit, PCM
* RIFX-WAVE - as RIFF but in motorola-format, rarely used
* Creative VOC - mono/stereo 8/12/16 bit, PCM, v1.20
It can also resample the samples in a couple of ways:
* Not at all
* Half the frequency
* Double the frequency
* resample to 11025 Hz
* resample to 16000 Hz
* resample to 22050 Hz
* resample to 32000 Hz
* resample to 44100 Hz
* resample to 48000 Hz
This can be done in high quality (interpolation) or not!..
Disclaimer
~~~~~~~~~~
I will not be held responsible for any damage that this
program might do to your system or files.
Some notes..:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This program uses MUI as interface.
This program is made in Amiga-E with the resample- and save-routines
in optimized assembler, this increases the speed for like 3 times!
I don't know if the RIFX-WAVE (motorola-version of RIFF-WAVE) is
saved right because I have no program that can read it.. :(
However, the other formats has been tested with AudioMaster IV,
Play16 v1.6 and MusicInPPC mpeg-encoder.
If you resample a file which frequency is less than 1% from
the original it wouldn't be resampled, just labeled with the
new frequency!
Ex. Resample "bla.iff" which is saved in 31960 Hz from f.ex Audiomaster
to 32000Hz will not resample the file just label it 32000Hz.
Usage:
~~~~~~
The program has a GUI with a numerous of gadgets:
`Status:' - Shows info about the input file and general status.
`Input File:' - This is where you specify the IFF-file to convert.
`Output File:' - This is the resulting file (or path).
-- Fileformat --
`Save Format:' - Here you select which file-format you want you
OutputFile to be in.
`i' - This is to get some info about the selected saveformat.
`Mode:' - Select if you want to save in Mono or Stereo.
Note that if you convert a stereo-file to mono the
left channel will be used! If you set this to Auto,
all files will be converted to the same mode that the
source file is in. Useful when using the list.
`ReSample:' - Here you can set if you want to resample the inputfile.
`HiQ' - If resampling should be done in high quality.
-- Dataformat --
`Bits:' - The bit-resolution of the OutputFile.
`ByteOrder:' - This toggles if you want to save in Motorola (MSB first)
or Intel (LSB first).
Note that if you save a WAV in motorola it will be an
RIFX-WAVE file which is rarely used, use intel instead!
`Format' - If the output should be in signed or unsigned in
the RAW format.
----- List -----
`Use' - This toggle if you want to use a filelist instead of
converting single files.
Note that if you're using a list, the OutputFile will
contain the destination-directory for all files!
`Lister' - Brings you to the file-list.
--- Project ----
`Abort' - Used to abort an operation.
`Convert' - This will execute whatever you have setup the program
to do.
`About' - Shows some info about the program.
`Quit' - Exits the program and saves the gadgetstates.
Bugs:
~~~~~
There might be a bug when saving AIFF. Play16 reported premature end
of file once...
Changes:
~~~~~~~~
* I have made it possible to control most of the program using the keyboard.
* Fixed the ghosting of some cycle gadgets that was ghosted when the shouldn't
and not ghosted when they should.
* I gave the program a menu and the option to get to the MUI settings.
* The Output File now changes the extension when cycling through the
save format.
* Minor cosmetic changes.
Future:
~~~~~~~
Fix eventually bugs
Perhaps some more formats
Maybe also _read_ all those save-formats instead of just IFF-8SVX
16-bit resample routines
020-optimized resample routines
Requirements:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
OS v37
MUI v3.x - I'm not really sure about the version here.. ;·)
Asl.library v37 - Only required when using file-requenster
MathIEEEDoubTrans.library - Only required when converting to AIFF.
SetPatch v43 - I know it crashes with v40.16 (1994-02-14)
A couple of 100kb of memory..
