I have a program called Synthia Pro which generates 16 bit Audio IFF
samples which can be saved to disk or dumped to certain samplers.
Unfortunately, the S-50 isn't one of them. The program will dump to
Roland's S-550/S-330 sample modules, though. I know the S-50 is a 12 bit
sampler. I've already had limited success transferring samples ( both 8 bit
and 16 bit, with appropriate scaling applied ) with a BASIC program I wrote
to test the feasibility of the concept. Now I'm trying to work it up into a
C program to try and increase the speed of converting the individual
samples into the correct MIDI format. Anyway, it would be nice just to have
access to any type of sample data and know that it could be ported over to
the S-50 and used as a patch in the sampler. Thanks for the feedback, by
the way. 16 bit samples are allowed in the IFF spec ( in fact, resolution
can go up to 32 bits! ) Be Seeing You.
