[comp.sys.amiga] 8SVX-->Macintosh prog needed

jdutka@wpi.wpi.edu (John Dutka) (04/09/90)

I am an Amiga 2000HD owner working on a college project using HyperCard on the
Mac to teach illiterate adults to read using sampled sounds/graphics.  The
only sound digitizing hardware available to us is the Perfect Sound unit on my
2000HD, so I need a program that can convert sounds from the Amiga's 8SVX
format (?) to Macintosh format.  I've tried Macsound2Amy, and AmigaBASIC
program, but that only converts from Mac to Amiga (so it's no good).  I also
tried SoundConverter, a program that supposedly converts from Amiga sounds to
Mac sounds an back.  Converting from Mac to my Amiga is fine, but when I try
to convert from an Amiga sound to a Macintosh sound with the program, the Mac
sound comes out as garbage with a barely recognizable sample.

So...  does anyone out there know of any other program, either on the
Macintosh or Amiga, that converts from Amiga sampled sounds (sampled with
Perfect Sound - the old version of the software) to Macintosh format sounds?

This program is needed desperately if our project group is ever to finish this
piece of software, so all help is appreciated.  Please mail all replies my
internet address below (jdutka@wpi.wpi.edu) or post it here ONLY IF
ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY.

If anyone at Commodore-Amiga could answer this question, or has a program
like this lying around somewhere, I'd be forever indebted to them for any
reply to this letter...
