[comp.sys.acorn] Sound Samples

rogersh%t8j@uk.ac.man.cs (Huw J. Rogers) (03/09/91)

	Does anyone know of a FTP or MailServer site that has huge numbers
of sound samples? In particular I am after the ST-nn series of soundtracker
samples used in soundtracker tunes - these are instrumental/percussion/effect
samples, not long pieces of sampled music. Please follow up to the group as
I am sure others are interested...

You can find SoundTracker/NoiseTracker modules on the following FTP sites:

  ab20.larc.nasa.gov
& mars.ee.msstate.edu

I'm not sure which directories, although they'll probably be under Amiga
somewhere. HOWEVER, despite the facts that Archimedes Tracker is supposed to
read Amiga SoundTracker files, and that NoiseTracker is supposed to be
SoundTracker compatible, I haven't been able to get any of them to work. This
could be a spaggy version of lharc on our Un*x system, though.

Anybody created any nice Tracker modules that they'd like to upload to the
Newcastle server?

On ab20.larc.nasa.gov, the directory is
/incoming/amiga/NoiseTracker-Modules

I've been using !Spark2 to decode them :-) After loading them into !Tracker,
they play back a treat.

I haven't created any, but I am prepared to submit the ones I've taken from
the states to the binaries group when it is created.

The method adopted in our X server to avoid phosphor burn is "to display a

from screen blanking."

It must be your lharc. I haven't had any problems playing them. Mind you,
some of the files on Mars are actually samples, not Tracker modules.
