Perhaps the simplest input file.
# Example 1 starts on the next line -- file ex01 voice ex01 Wv wave sample 0 0 127 harmonic 1 0 # Example 1 ends on the previous line --
The line "file ex01" tells the program to use the files ex01.s1m and ex01.log as the output files.
The line "voice ex01 Wv" tells the program that a new set of waves intended for one voice is starting. The waves are named by appending a 1, 2, 3, or 4 to this name. "Wv" will be used as the category for all the waves and samples of this voice.
The line "wave" tells the program that a new wave for the current voice is starting. This is the low level type specification where each harmonic of each sample is specified one by one. The wave name will be ex011. Wave numbers are generated by counting up from 1 as the waves are defined in the input file.
The line "sample 0 0 127" tells the program that a new sample for the current wave is starting. The numbers are the center, low and high as on the EX wave layer editing screen. The sample will be generated for MIDI note 0, the wave will use this sample for MIDI notes 0 through 127. (That is, all MIDI notes.) The samples are named by appending the MIDI note number for the center to the wave name. To fit within the name length limit, the MIDI note number is represented in "hexadecimal", That is, in addition to the usual 0-9 digits, there are also a (10), b (11), c (12), d (13), e (14), and f (15). Hexadicimal 10 = decimal 16, hexadecimal 20 = 2 times 16 = 32 and so forth. So in this the sample name is the voice name ex01 + the wave number 1 + the sample center 0. or ex01100.
The line "harmonic 1 0" tells the program to generate harmonic 1 for this sample at amplitude 0. The units are DBA (decibels amplitude) with 0 being the maximum. So, lower amplitudes would be specified with negative numbers.
Since there is no next line, that is the end of the harmonic list, sample list, wave list, and voice list.
The net result of this input file is a single wave with a single sample with a single harmonic (making it a simple sine wave) that can be played on all MIDI notes.
