O.K. here's the scoop. I want to take an IFF instrument file
InstantMusic, and load it up in Sonix so that I can then save it as
an RFF (Riley File Format) file, so that I can then alter the depth,
speed, delay, and other characteristics of the instrument. So, I
add the /.instr/ suffix to the instrument file for Sonix to recognise
it. Then, I go to the Instruments screen, and load it. It loads up,
and I am shown a screen of the waveform data. As per the manual, I
then chose /Save as.../ from the menu. O.K. so far. Then, I try to
reload the instrument. This time I still get the waveform screen, and
not the digital sound editor I am supposed to get. I then hit the
menu button on the mouse, and it EVERYTHING hangs, freezes, including
the mouse. I warm boot; it happens again, except this time Sonix says
has 5K more than the last time I booted.
So, I power down, all the way to kickstart, and also get rid of the
PopCLI and VD0: I was using (I have a 1 meg INSIDER in my A1000). I boot
all the way back up to Sonix, and the results are the same, everything
hangs. I also tried the IFF samples on the Sonix Data Disk; no luck.
Help? Anyone? I don't have more money to get DCMS. Reply direct.
