SAMPLE RIPPER
Version 1.0
Written By : Rob Lizak Jr.
INTRODUCTION
------------
Sample Ripper, v1.0, allows you to take a 31 instrument
Noisetracker/Soundtracker module, or MED module saved into
ST-NT format and "separate" the sound samples from the
module. This is very useful for someone who wants to write
music in one of the mentioned programs but has a limited
sample library or worse yet, none.
INVOKING SAMPLE RIPPER
----------------------
Sample Ripper is a CLI based application. From your CLI
window, type SAMPLERIPPER <sourcefile> <destination> and
press RETURN. <sourcefile> is the name of the module that
contains the samples you wish to rip, <destination> is the
complete drive and pathname where the resultant samples
should be saved. Lets say we have a module called
MOD.tomsawyer and we want the samples saved to
DF1:RushSamples, the command line would be:
1.> SAMPLERIPPER MOD.tomsawyer DF1:RushSamples/
If you forget any parameters, or just type SAMPLERIPPER and
press RETURN you will get an information screen and some
basic help.
LIMITATIONS
-----------
In this version, only the new 31 instrument modules are
supported. This is the way I originally wrote the program
and just have been too lazy to add support for 15 instrument
modules. This is high priority stuff though, and the next
version will contain support for the old 15 instrument
modules.
REVISION HISTORY
----------------
Version 1.0, April 2, 1991: Original release, supports 31
instrument (new) modules only.
LAST BUT NOT LEAST
------------------
I wrote this program because I needed an easy way to rip
sound samples from existing modules (There are ALOT of great
samples out there!). I searched for a program that would
allow me to easily rip samples out of the modules and I found
nothing of the sort, I was stuck using MED to load in the
ST-NT module and then save each sample out to another disk.
It was a long, tedious process and I knew there had to be a
better way!, and thats why I wrote this program. I also know
that there are quite a few others out in net.land that have
wanted such a program, hopefully this program will help out a
great number of people who have wanted to rip samples out of
pre-existing modules.
I am very curious to know if anyone actually uses or likes
this program! If you have e-mail access and have a mailer
that can reach Bitnet, please drop me a line. Also, I would
appreciate any suggestions/gripes/bug reports so I can
improve upon and/or fix problems in the next version. As far
as I know this version is bug proof, but again, if any bugs
surface, let me know! Enjoy the program! Hopefully it is of
a great benefit to many!
