Sample Compressor/Player
module by David Radford
{fon:tri}

  For those of you who have played my first game (RiscyGame) then you
would have noticed the very large Sampled introduction, this took
over 1.2Meg of disc space and you would have needed at least 1.5Meg
free to  play it, but thanks to David Radford's Sample Compressor and
Player it fitted onto about 700k and played straight of the disc!
This compresses Armadeus files at various rates (with more sound loss
the higher the rate), it works around one window which displays
information on the sample while it is being compressed, it tells you
how much there is to go and how much has been compressed. If like me
you use your sampler a lot but don't have a Hard Disc and floppies
are far and few then this is for you as it can save a lot of disc
space. The player module is simple to use i.e. just double click on
the sample you want to hear. You can create sequences of samples to
produce some strange effects. My only problem is that you can't use
the internal volume control, it just carries on at it's loud volume.

Comment: A near perfect sample utility
