Function [up] [down]
Saves SoundBlaster-VOC samples.
Loops yes (forward)
Channels yes (mono/stereo/quadro)
Compressionyes (PCM-8,PCM-16,ADPCM-8:4,ADPCM-8:3,ADPCM-8:2,A-LAW,µ-LAW)
The VOC was introduced by "Creative Labs", creators of the Soundblaster-cards on the PC. It was created for easy playback from disks and hard disks or CDs giving it a host of advantages. However due to inconsequent planning it became nessecary to 'add' features which slow down handling of this . Most programs aren't able to read but one (the 1.1 version) of the VOC . SFX can read and write all known versions of this .

Parameter [up] [down]
Typetype of compression
  • PCM8 : not compressed 8bit
  • PCM16 : not compressed 16bit
  • ADPCM8_4 : AdaptiveDelta (2:1) compressed 8bit
  • ADPCM8_3 : AdaptiveDelta (3:1) compressed 8bit
  • ADPCM8_2 : AdaptiveDelta (4:1) compressed 8bit
  • µ-Law : µ-Law (14:8) compressed 14bit
Vers file version :
  • 1.20 : Use blocktype 9 for soundheader.
  • 1.15 : Use blocktype 8 and 1 for soundheader.
  • 1.10 : Use blocktype 1 only for soundheader
In my experience most programs can't read the new VOC formats. I thereforeadded the option to save the old . Using version 1.10 might be thesafest. Please take these limitations into account:
  • 1.15 : only 8-bit samples
  • 1.10 : only mono and 8-bit samples

Notes [up] [down]
