+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Adlib Tracker v1.0 - Official fileformat specifications - 01/30/2002 | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ The SNG fileformat: Statical format, filesize is always fixed and file has no header. (only raw data) o 0 through 999 rows (1000 rows) o each row contains the 'musical information' of all 9 adlib channels (1 through 9) o every piece of 'musical information' consists of the following: - a note string (two characters) string meaning "C#" 277.2 Hz "D." 293.7 Hz "D#" 311.1 Hz "E." 329.6 Hz "F." 349.2 Hz "F#" 370.0 Hz "G." 392.0 Hz "G#" 415.3 Hz "A." 440.0 Hz "A#" 466.2 Hz "B." 493.9 Hz "C." 261.7 Hz "\0\0" note-off - octave number (1 char) Note: the volume parameter in Adlib Tracker v1.0 is unused. +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Adlib Tracker v1.0 - Official fileformat specifications - 01/30/2002 | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ The INS fileformat: Statical format, filesize is always fixed and file has no header. (only raw data) o 9 channel presets (1 to 9) o 2x channel preset: 1 for carrier, 1 for modulator (all integers): Note: bit count starts at zero. - appampmod: Apply amplitude modulation when set - appvib: Apply vibrato when set - maintsuslvl: When set, the sustain level of the voice is maintained until released; when clear, the sound begins to decay immediately after hitting the SUSTAIN phase. - keybscale: Keyboard scaling rate. This is another incomprehensible bit in the Sound Blaster manual. From experience, if this bit is set, the sound's envelope is foreshortened as it rises in pitch. - octave: Indicates which harmonic the operator will produce sound (or modulation) in relation to the voice's specified frequency: 0 - one octave below 1 - at the voice's specified frequency 2 - one octave above - freqrisevollvldn: When set, causes output levels to decrease as the frequency rises, with 3 dB/8ve. - softness: controls the total output level of the operator. all bits CLEAR is loudest; all bits SET is the softest. Don't ask me why. 5 4 3 2 1 0 +-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ | Total Level | | 24 12 6 3 1.5 .75 | <-- dB +-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ - attack: Attack rate. 0x0 is the slowest, 0xF is the fastest. - decay: Decay rate. 0x0 is the slowest, 0xF is the fastest. - release: Release Rate. 0x0 is the slowest, 0xF is the fastest. - sustain: 0x0 is the loudest, 0xF is the softest. - feedback: Feedback strength. If all three bits are set to zero, no feedback is present. With values 1-7, the operator will send a portion of its output back into itself. 1 is the least amount of feedback, 7 is the most. - waveform: Waveform select; ___ ___ ___ ___ _ _ / \ / \ / \ / \ / | / | /_____\_______ /_____\_____ /_____\/_____\ /__|___/__|___ \ / \___/ 0 1 2 3
