- About SAP files
- ---------------
- SAP stands for Slight Atari Player. File in .SAP format contains all data
- necessary for playing music emulating POKEY sound chip and 6502 processor,
- and some information about music. SAP Maker can convert files from the
- following Atari XL/XE music formats:
-
- CMC - standard Chaos Music Composer 2.0 files
- CMR - Chaos Music Composer 2.0 files with changed bass table
- (created with "CMC Rzog")
- MPT - Music ProTracker 2.4 files
- This extension is for tunes without samples
- MD1/D15 - Music ProTracker 2.4 tunes with single 15 kHz digi
- Such music consists of two files: MPT music and samples data.
- These files should have same name and MD1 and D15 extensions
- respectively
- MD1/D8 - Music ProTracker 2.4 tunes with single 7.5 kHz digi
- Same as above except for lower quality of samples
- MD2/D8 - Music ProTracker 2.4 tunes with two digi channels
- Music in MD2 file, samples in D8.
- TMC - Theta Music Composer files
- This extension is for tunes which can be played with single POKEY
- TM8 - Theta Music Composer STEREO tunes
- AMS - Advanced Music System (?) files (experimental)
-
- For more info please read 'sapmaker.txt' file. Example music files are
- included in the archive. Please increase stack to ca. 40kB :) before startup.
