[comp.sys.amiga] Amiga IFF Sound Format Info Sought

C503719@umcvmb.missouri.edu (Baird McIntosh) (03/11/90)

Does anyone have information on the Amiga's sampled sound IFF file format?  I
will take pointers to Fish disks or even an explanation from one of you.  I
would like to know what various aspects or characteristics are saved with the
actual sample data in an IFF instrument or one-shot file.  So far, no one seems
to know anything along these lines.  Either it is not really possible to save
sampled sounds in IFF format (and we've all imagined what we've heard) or all
the people who program this stuff or know anything about it are not on USENET.

Any and all helpful replies appreciated.

Well, I have recently come across Fish 301 and the Aquarium database.  Suffice
it to say, I may find the fish disk with the latest IFF specs helpful.  But
if anyone has any additional info, send it along.

Hope this helps.
