Here is AmigaSndConverter.
It is a quick hack, that will convert Amiga IFF (8SVX) sound file to Mac
sound files, ready to drop onto your system folder. Currently it
requires system 7, enough RAM (use MultiFinder temporary RAM) to keep
the complete sample. No drag and drop support yet, no multi-channel
sounds. This may come later. As I said, it is just a quick hack.

Subject: Digitrack SUBMISSION
Date: Fri, 31 Jul 92 11:45:18 CDT

   I have included a small Mac application I wrote called Digitrack. If you
find it worthy, please feel free to post it anywhere for public distribution.
In this .sit.hqx file, you will find the application, a help file, an about
file, and a small, sample collection of sound resources for use with this
program. I will also send along (in another mail message) a larger collection
of sounds (also in the correct format for use with Digitrack.) Following is
a short description; other instructions can be found in the help files.

   Digitrack is a small, unfinished program that will read in all the 'snd '
sound resources in a file, and allow these sounds to be accessed (played)
immediately from the keyboard. Each sound is given a letter, and when the
corresponding key is pressed on the keyboard the sound is played. A track of
such sounds can be recorded and played back in real-time.
   This program can be used for live sound recordings where any number of
digitized sounds need to be immediately playable.

From: [e-mail]
Subject: [*] el-sound-trecker.hqx (spanish version)

This is the Spanish version of The Sound-Trecker V1.0, a program to play
songs that are stored in a special, compact format. This format was
introduced by the program "SoundTracker" written for computers of
the Commodore-Amiga family. The music has high output quality, although
it is not just digitized, but stored in a compact way as notes. This
approach makes it possible to obtain moderate file sizes (between 50 and
300 kBytes) even for songs which are several minutes long. These music
files are commonly called "Modules" or ".MOD files."  Shareware ($30);
comes with C source code, and documentation in Spanish. Please, put this
file as "el-sound-trecker.hqx" in the same directory as the german and
english versions.

Un saludo a los hispano-parlantes a quien pueda llegar este programa. En
la documentacion encontrareis informacion interesante sobre como funciona
Sound-Trecker.

Subject: cant.get.up 0.9b.cpt.hqx


Fallen 0.9b, a free public domain background-only app.

Being philosophically opposed to inits, I wrote this
app, based on some helpful sample DTS code, to play
a sound when you shut down or restarted your mac
(actually, when you send a quit AppleEvent).  You
hear, "I've fallen, and I can't get up!".

System 7 required.  I guarantee only that this will
occupy disk space, although it is 32 bit clean.
The reason for the large size (64K) is the
large sound.

Ivar 1.0.1

Ivar is a program to play sounds over a network.  To use it,
install the Ivar extension on the target machine and reboot.
Then find a convienient Mac nearby and wait for an innocent
victim.  When he/she is busy working run the Ivar application
and surprise him/her with a few well chosen noises.
I have found the sounds "Sally in restaurant", "Mary dismebered

From: William Walker <[e-mail]>
Subject: Lemur 2.0


This is the README file for Lemur 2.0 from the CERL Sound Group.

Lemur was written by Kelly Fitz and Bill Walker at the University of
Illinois CERL Sound Group.

Lemur is based on MQAN, a tool written by Rob Maher and Jim Beauchamp
at the Computer Music Project of the University of Illinois School of Music.

Lemur is a sinusoidal analysis and synthesis program based on the
McAulay-Quatieri technique. It analyzes AIFF sample files to produce
an intermediate representation (a Lemur analysis file), and uses these analysis
files to synthesize AIFF sample files. Time scaling, frequency scaling, and
frequency shifting are possible.

If you obtain Lemur, please send electronic mail to [e-mail] or
[e-mail]. We would appreciate hearing from you!

This version should replace all previous versions of Lemur.

lemur-20.sit.hqx is a BinHexed Compactor archive containing the Lemur program,
a brief manual, and some AIFF sample files.

Mono2Stereo 1.0
by Alberto Ricci
Freeware

What Mono2Stereo does is very simple: it takes two mono sounds and
merges them into one stereo sound. Just open the left and right sounds
with the "Open..." command in the File menu, then choose "Save As...".
If youUve got a stereo-capable Mac, which either mixes the left and
right channels into one mono channel (Mac LC) or outputs true stereo
from the speaker port (Mac IIs and Quadras), youUll be able to play the
sound just by double-clicking the sound file in the Finder.

(Mono2Stereo requires System 7.0 or later).

PianoSim 1.2:

The current version fixes some minor bugs. For UNREGISTERED copy, makes it
more clear that music save feature is DISABLED in the greeting dialog, to
avoid confusion.

PianoSim 1.1:

Due to many people's request, I rewrite the interface in the current version1.1,

The version 1.1 use new icons for the application, please rebuilt desktop
(hold down Option+Command while restart your mac) to use the new icons.
I am going to make PianoSim a very well maintained program, please support
me by sending your registration fee ($25 is really nothing compared with how
much a commercial music program charges). Your help will be very appreciated.

                                                          Oct. 10 1992
PianoSim introduction:

Here is a new software called PianoSim I created for the Macintosh. It's
a music instrument simulation with full music input and edit ability. You
can use mouse click (sweep) or keystroke to play music real time. You can
choose your favorite instrument from a panel of choices, including piano,
bell, flute, guitar, sax... You can record your performance in real time
and save it as a file for future playback. The software has a full featured
editor, so you can edit and modify your performance. You can also just input
your favorite music and save it as a record, for future playback and
entertainment. The time duration of each note is accurate up to one tick
(1/60 sec), the music symbol shown doesn't change the exact time duration
embedded. You can control sound volume, play back speed (tempo), and pitch
of all the piano keys within two octave. You can personalize your
computerkey-pianokey correspondence and save your setting.
Several of my favorite music is provided, including Fur Elise, love story,
and a few Christmas carols. If you enter your favorite records, I'd love
to have a copy if you are willing to offer (if you don't like the record
to be included in future updates, please say so, I will honor your request).
The software can be fun for adult as well as for child. I'd be very happy
to know if you like it and have a good time with it.

PianoSim is distributed as shareware, and ask for $25 shareware fee. But
if you REALLY couldn't afford it, send me any amount you prefer. By sending
me your donation, you are helping me to obtain enough resource and
encouragement to write better software for the Macintosh. Your help will be
very apprecaited. Registered user will receive a Thank You letter together
with registration code to personalize your copy, and receive any future
updates free. Please only distribute unregistered copies.

PianoSim is tested on MacSE, Classic, II, IIcx, IIx, IIsi, IIci, IIfx, Quadra,
under system 7 and 6.0.4 up. Any bug reports, suggestions, comments, etc.
are all welcome. Thank you for your time and hope you have fun with PianoSim.

I am currently looking for a mac programming position (I am a Univ. of
Chicago graduate student getting my degree), if you have a job offer or
any information that may help, please contact me. I also wrote a game
for Macintosh called SpaceInvader!, which can be downloaded from
sumex.stanford.edu under info-mac/game directory. Have a try if you like games.

Sample Editor 1.0.3
-------------------

Enclosed with this note is Sample Editor 1.0.3, an update to the previously
 submitted
version (1.0.2).


A number of changes have been made, including:

*   Now supports many keyboard shortcuts, for standard and extended
    keyboard.
*    Select All added.
*   Now supports amplitude transformations.
*   Added shortcuts in playback rate edit text box for standard Mac frequencies.
*   Provides compression and expansion of standard Macintosh System 7 sound
 files,
    such as system beep sounds.
*   Now supports for LCII.
*   Added Use Defaults button and Undo support for Preferences.
*   Remembers microphone configuration between sessions.


The following bugs have been fixed -

*   Fixed bug in Normalise that meant Undo did not work when Normalise was the
    first edit to be made to a sample.
*   Fixed bug in Open/Import where debugger was entered on insert floppy.
*   Export now exports whole file instead of just the current selection.
*   3:1 compressed Audio IFF files are now opened correctly.

Thanks to all those who requested the changes above or pointed out the bugs.



Description:
-----------

This version of Sample Editor NEEDS the following minimum set-up -

*   System 7
*   68020 processor (Mac II, LC, etc.) (or better)
*   13" 8-bit monitor (or better)
*   Sound input device and plenty of RAM, if you want to record.

Sample Editor is an application that allows you to edit and manipulate sampled
 sound
on the Macintosh.  It supports sound input and output from Audio Interchange
 (AIFF) files,
Mac 'snd' resources, and the Clipboard.  The sound may be compressed by a factor
 of up
to 6:1.  You can also record direct from any connected microphone, limited only
 by the
available memory.  The waveform of a sound can be displayed in any level of
 detail you
require by selecting the part you wish to zoom in on.  You can edit it using
 Cut, Copy, Paste
and Clear, and apply transformations such as Fade, Normalise, Crossfade and
 Digital Delay.

SoundExtractor 1.31

by Alberto Ricci
shareware $5

Yes, it's version 1.31! And here are the new features:
- It can play the sounds it is extracting.
- It can beep when the extraction is finished.
- You can choose custom playback rates. This can be very useful if you need
to extract sounds from a Unix or Amiga file. Version 1.4, anyway, will
probably recognize those sounds as well as AIFF and SoundEdit Pro files.

Some bugs were fixed.


For those who don't know, SoundExtractor is a System 7 dependent utility that
lets you "extract" sounds from any kind of file. You just drag it on top of
SoundExtractor's icon, and it'll create a sound folder (with its own icon)
containing all the sounds it could find, in System 7 format. This means that
all you need to play them is to double-click on them.
SoundExtractor will also extract data sounds, stereo data or resource sounds,
or non-standard resource sounds.
SoundExtractor supports Balloon Help, Apple Events, and requires System 7.

Hope you like it,

Organization: Iowa Computer Aided Engineering Network, University of Iowa
Subject: [*] SoundHack 0.60


Here is SoundHack v0.6.  Perhaps the words of the author, Tom Erbe, best
describes the program's purpose:

---
I am writing this program to perform various soundfile manipulations on the
Macintosh that have previously not been available.  At the present, I have
implemented soundfile type conversion, soundfile convolution, the phase vocoder,
a binaural filter and an amplitude analysis and gain change module.  In the near
future I hope to add a spectral dynamics processor, and Larry Polansky's
mutation synthesis.  SoundHack can now read and write the following formats:
Sound Designer II, Audio IFF, IRCAM, DSP Designer and NeXT .snd (or Sun
.au).  It can read (but not write) raw data files. It can read and write 8-bit 5Law,
8-bit linear, 32-bit floating point and 16-bit linear data encoding.

This program only works on Mac II and above machines!  That is:
you need a 68020 + 68881, a 68030 + 68882 or a 68040.
---

------------------------- CUT HERE --------------------------------------
SoundHack v.60
This is the latest version of SoundHack as of 6-17-92.  It should replace all
previous versions.  The new feature is the phase vocoder.  This allows
independant time and pitch scaling.  It will provide pvoc analysis files for
Csound users (though I have not perfected this yet).   If you had a beta copy,
I have sped up pitch scaling by a factor of 4 since the beta release.

Enjoy,

This contains a binhexed self-extracting archive of
SoundMover 1.76 and SndControl 2.2, by Riccardo Ettore.
SoundMover extracts sounds from almost any file, converts
between types of sounds, and does minor editing. SndControl

that allows your mac to make sounds associated with
certain events, like emptying the trash, restarting,
or pressing the space bar. Its best feature is that you

Subject: SoundMaster 1.7.3

Got this from a Bulletin Board and thought I would pass it along, as it is a
newer version of Bruce Tomlin's great program SoundMaster.  This is
version 1.7.3.  Its just a bug fix, no real change to the interface that I
can tell.

SoundMaster installs code into your Mac during startup which can play sounds
when various things happen.

System requirements:

System 6.0.2 or later, preferably 6.0.7 or later.
At least one megabyte of memory, preferably at least two.

This is a shareware program.  If you like it, send $15 to the author's address.
If you're already registered for ten bucks as of April 15, 1990, it's a free
upgrade.  See the SoundMaster Doc. and change files for more information.

This is a BinHexed Stuffit Deluxe file.  Stuffit Lite, UnStuffit Deluxe, or
Stuffit Classic is required for this file.  Enjoy.

Apparently-To: [e-mail]:edu:xerox

A recent request showed there is still interest in a Mac program to convert
Sun ulaw-encoded audio files to Mac snd format.  I decided to upload the
program I've been working on in its present incomplete state. As a Mac program
it is not pretty but it is functional. It will read ulaw-encoded sounds and
save them as Mac snd resources in an "sfil" type file. This means System 7
will let you double-click on them to play them or drop them into the System
file.

It has a few known bugs. The most serious one occurs when too many large sound
files are converted at once. The Mac will just freeze up and you have to
reboot.
So far the program works for fairly large individual files but there is
probably an upper limit. Theoretically it will handle up to 20 (small?) files
in one
batch. When such an sfil is dropped in the System, however, the first snd
resource gets the name of the file and not that of the resource as the
remaining
resources do.

Because of these bugs and its ugly UI, I'm not asking a shareware fee for this
version. Use it at your own risk but please send additional bug reports,
comments and suggestions to me.
