What about kromatool ?
Dear Kromeheaveners !
It's time to give you some information about Kromatool : As you may know, I've stopped the development as soon as some "silly" people have reached the Krome scene, stealing our work for sharing it on "other" website and without crediting originals authors. (What a pity...)
The reverse engineering made on the META.IMG file format was not complete...but this time, I've a great news for you. It is.
What does this mean?
In fact the missing part was about the waveforms meta structure...here are the fields :
Frequencyoffset
Flag
LoopTune
CompressCoefA
CompressCoefB
StartAddress
2ndStartAddress
LoopStartAddress
EndSampleAddress
ReverseEndAddress
FollowingStartAddress
... :)
Please just make a focus on the main issue :
CompressCoefA
CompressCoefB
Theses 2 values (2 shorts) are automatically set for each samples (waveforms) according to the compression processing originally done by MakeOptionPcm.exe tool.
By compression, I do not mean zip, rar, or this kind of compressed format, but an audio processing is done to allow a correct dynamic on 8 bits samples.
In fact, I've not implemented this kind of processing on kromatool...TG01Compress is a clue for me...for the moment :)
I am not an audio processing expert, but what I can say is that if we set arbitrary values on theses 2 fields it is ok for some samples but ko for others.
We should have some help from talented people : to try best values or to help me to implement the same "compress" processing.
Who can help ? :) -> mail me pure_lucif@hotmail.com
Combi Contest delayed !
I'm so sorry for the combi contest people that sent their combi but I've to delay the contest because I did not received enough combi to make a good contest (like the 2 previous).
Nevermind, the new rules for the contest are : no dead line until we have 10 entries !
We actually have 7 ... 3 are missing to close the contest.
Make it possible, just participate ! send your best combi to -> pure_lucif@hotmail.com
