Wave Dumper v0.1
1998 Electronic Cow Freeware

This program is completely free and unrestricted and it may be 
freely copied for all to use, as long as it remains in tact, 
unaltered, and no-one benefits financially from its 
distribution! By all means, include it on your cover-mount 
disk/CD-ROM, FTP/WWW site or public domain library, but don't 
expect Electronic Cow to be responsible in any way for any loss 
or damage to your system as a direct or indirect use of this 
program. But hey, it works! The moral is don't tamper with it, 
else it won't. Besides, you wouldn't like us to visit your 
home, and ruin your work, so don't do it to ours please :)

System Requirements
-------------------

An Atari ST/TT/Falcon with at least 512k of memory, and a 640 x 
400 display (colour or mono) or better. Oh, and you'll need one 
MIDI wire and a sampler, without which this program is entirely 
useless :)

Wave Dumper is a small GEM utility for sending WAV file format 
samples to a MIDI sampler. Most modern samplers conform to the 
MIDI sample Dump Standard protocol, but since we own an Akai 
S900, we've added a driver especially for this sampler too!

Instructions
------------

To load a WAV file, press the disk button (or [control]+[o]). 
Wave Dumper will load any WAV-format sound, as long as it's 
mono, and in Intel format (actually, it will load 
Motorola-format WAVs, but they'll be inside out!). The little 
smiley button opens the About box (not much in there, really!). 
Once you've loaded a sample, the window title bar will change 
to tell you the name of the file loaded. 

Next, choose the sampler you have in the driver options: either 
Akai S900/950 or MSDS-compatible (should work with most 
samplers!), and then the MIDI channel and sample number (from 0 
to 99, or 0 to 32 for Akai samplers) to send it to. Then, press 
the MIDI cable button, and off it goes. To abort the send, 
press the [esc] button. 

Note that Wave Dumper doesn't need a closed loop system, so 
you'll only need one cable from the Atari's MIDI out connected 
to the sampler's MIDI in. Easy peasy...
