AMOS Samples Bank format

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

The samples can be played back with the Music extension.

The format of the bank is as follows:

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: 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
