How wav is stored in XM
« on: April 18, 2010, 19:22:50 »

Hi all, for my XM development purpose I wish to know how a wave is stored in xm standards.

I ready several specs but I'm not sure what I do is right.

Is it right if I encode entire (header includer) wav with delta encoding and put in into sample data?

May I follow the little code sample here at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_encoding ?

And just one last question, does it works even for a stereo sample or I have first to split channels?

Thanks in advance :)

Why do you ask again? If my previous explanation was unclear, please tell me. Or are you just oblivious? :P

lol !

 I didn't want to bother always you, these days I haven't got my development software so I'm feeling a bit nervous and I'm collecting as many info as I can... ;D
This time I wasn't sure if I must do the split channel job only for the for unofficial stereo addon you told me in the other forum or in general for any stereo sample I must put on xm.

When using stereo samples, the channels are stored separately, meaning that you first completely delta-encode the left channel, and then you do the same thing with the right channel and put it after the left channel.

...stereo samples shouldn't really go in XMs.

Still, they are supported in a wide variety of trackers and players and they're useful for his goal (writing a XRNS to XM converter).
