[comp.sys.atari.st] >> Help: Converting 14/16 bit samples to 8 bit

p2_georg@g2.brispoly.ac.uk (george) (03/05/91)

	Can anyone help me with this problem ?

  	I have got a 12bit sampler (2-bit systems company) which I use 
       	with replay on a 512K Atari ST. The software saves the samples
        in 14 bit format in 2's compliment.  What I want to do is use
	these samples with Quartet, which at the moment I am unabled to
	do due to the fact that quartet will only load 8 bit samples.

	I have tried using the "Digital" program supplied with quartet
	to conver these samples but it doesn't want to know.  If anyone
	can help me to solve this problem, either by sending a program 
        capable of doing this directly to me, or by writing the solution
        on these pages then I would be most greatful.
