View source for AMOS Samples Bank format

'''[[AMOS]] sample banks''' are created with the Sample Bank Editor shipped with AMOS. They are one of AMOS's native [[AMOS file formats|file formats]].

The samples can be played back with the Music extension.

The format of the bank is as follows:

{|class="infotable"
!Offset!!Length!!Description
|-
|0||20 bytes||The regular bank header
|-
|20||2 bytes||the number of samples in this bank (''n'')
|-
|22||''n''*4 bytes||a list of offsets, each 4 bytes long, to each sample. The offset is relative to the location of the "number of samples" field above
|-
|22+''n''*4||? bytes||all samples, as pointed to by the offsets table. Each sample is individually sized and has this format:
{|class="infotable"
!Offset!!Length!!Description
|-
|0||8 bytes||the name for the sample, in ASCII.
In most cases, only the first 6 bytes have ASCII data, the remaining 2 have trash.
|-
|8||2 bytes||the frequency of the sample in hertz
|-
|10||4 bytes||the length of the sample in bytes (''n'')
|-
|14||''n'' bytes||the sample data itself, a stream of two's complement signed 8-bit PCM samples
|}
