- *** HSN DataType V40.1 ***
-
- by Christian Buchner
-
-
- This is a HSN datatype loosely based on the example sourcecodes
- found in the OS 3.1 Native Developer Kit. The example code was
- originally written by David N.Junod. All changes were done by
- Christian Buchner.
-
-
- Installation
- ------------
-
- Copy devs/Datatypes/HSN#? SYS:devs/Datatypes/
-
- Copy classes/Datatypes/hsn.datatype SYS:classes/Datatypes/
-
- Now reboot or type "AddDatatypes REFRESH" in a shell.
-
-
-
- Features
- --------
-
- This datatype loads HSN files as used by the commercial program
- "MaxonMagic". The HSN format was invented by Maxon Software.
-
-
-
- Unknown features
- ----------------
-
- * also called bugs: Please report them to me immediately and if
- possible send me the HSN files that cause the problems. I
- have all my information about the HSN format from examination
- of the program PlayHSN by Maxon. This information may be
- incomplete or outdated.
-
-
-
- Future enhancements
- -------------------
-
- * implement frequency fallback in low-memory situations
-
- * implement normalization (scaling to full 8 bit signal range)
-
- * limit maximum replay frequency according to the computer
- system (ECS/AGA) and do a frequency downscaling if necessary
-
-
-
- Future projects
- ---------------
-
- * re-engineer sound.datatype
-
- -stay 100% compatible to C= sound.datatype
- -provide 16 bit and Stereo capabilities
- -add soundcard support
- -provide an easy to use and powerful software interface
-
- * make all my sound datatype subclasses (WAV,VOC,HSN) use the
- new features of sound.datatype
-
- * write a better 8SVX datatype (stereo)
-
- * add a save routine to all my sound datatypes
-
- * DTPlay, a sound player with a workbench and CLI interface using
- datatypes. Useful for browsing through directories (just drop the
- icon on DTPlay's AppIcon). Perhaps I will add an AREXX port that
- is compatible to UPD.
-
-
- Send me the specs of a sound standard you want a datatype for
- (see address below!)
