*** 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incomplete or outdated.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!)
