VOC2SAM Converter v3.00
Copyright 1993, Stephen C. Demuth
Well, once again you are presented with the newest version of VOC2SAM.
WHAT THIS PROGRAM IS FOR:
I'm sure that some of you out there are thinking "Well, what exactly
does VOC2SAM do???" .. Well, what this program will do is convert a
VOC file (These are the digitized files used by SoundBlaster, Thunder-
Board, and other sound cards) into SAM files (The SAM format is one
which is used with the MODEDIT programs as instrument voices used in
creating MOD music files).
The main upgrades in this version are that VOC2SAM will once again
remove the VOC file header. Version 1.5 did this, however, when I
wrote v2.0 I forgot to add this feature. Well, IT'S HERE NOW!!!!!
This version will also check the size of the VOC file before it
tries to convert it. There is a 64K size limit. I'm writing this
program mainly for the use with MODEDIT, and since MODEDIT will not
accept samples larger than 64K I didn't worry about this program
converting larger files!
I did notice that this version runs SLIGHTLY (0.5 seconds) slower than
v2.0 (this is due to file checking and size verification now used),
but in the end, it will save you time (Now you wont have to manually
remove the VOC header).
Here is a little time test where I compared past versions of VOC2SAM
with v3.0
Version VOC File Length Time to Convert
------------------------------------------------
VOC2SAM v1.5 .....24K ........... 30.0 seconds
VOC2SAM v2.0 .....24K ........... 1.0 second
NEW -> VOC2SAM v3.0 .....24K ........... 1.5 seconds <- NEW
VOC2SAM v1.5 .....35K ........... 53.0 seconds
VOC2SAM v2.0 .....35K ........... 1.5 seconds
NEW -> VOC2SAM v3.0 .....35K ........... 2.5 seconds <- NEW
VOC2SAM v1.5 .....62K ........... 94.0 seconds
VOC2SAM v2.0 .....62K ........... 3.5 seconds
NEW -> VOC2SAM v3.0 .....62K ........... 4.0 seconds <-NEW
HOW TO USE THIS PROGRAM:
It is very easy to use this program. Let's say that you wanted to
convert the VOC file DRUM1.VOC into a SAM file. All you would do
is type:
VOC2SAM3 DRUM1.VOC DRUM1.SAM
And bingo! Your file is converted!!!! See, I told you it was simple!
