SPL

The SPL Sample File Format was introduced along with Digitrakker. Details as follows.

THE SAMPLE-FORMAT (SPL)

Here comes the description for the old sample-format "SPL", which was used in older tracker-versions (V2.0-V2.2). This format isn't supported any longer in Digitrakker, that means you can read it, but you can't save samples in this form. The reason for this step was the fact, that there are too many sample-formats and it makes no sense to introduce a new one, because the existing IFF-format nearly contains all infos you need for a Digitrakker-sample.

Offset Length Description

000    004     "DSPL"; the four letters mark the spl-format
004    001     version; the current version is 0
005    032     sample-name; the name of the sample (filled with [32])
037    008     filename of the sample
045    002     C-4 sample-frequency in hz (00000-65535)
047    004     sample-length
051    004     sample-repeatstart
055    004     sample-repeatlength; if this value is set to 0, the sample

will not loop

059    001     sample-volume (1-255)
060    001     infobyte:

bit 0 -> 0=8 bit sample, 1=16 bit sample bit 1 -> 0=forward looping, 1=bidirectional looping bit 2,3 -> packmethode (0=not packed, methodes 2 and 3 doesn't exist in this version) bit 4-7 -> not used (should be set to 0)
