ORG Format

[andwhyisit]

Since you did the ORG Winamp plugin, I would like to know how to produce sound from an org file. I already have the documentation on how grab and understand information from org files, but I want to know how the sounds for these notes are produced. Are they a set of instructions for each note that produces sound? Are they wav files? If they are then where do I find them?

ORG files are like a custom midi music. The instruments for the first 8 channels are simple 8-bit waveforms packed into the raw binary "wave100" file in the player. The drums are generated like sound effects, but I think only the ones that were used in Cave Story's music were included in its exe. In AGL I used versions which were converted into individual wav files for convinience, but in the ORG plugin I had to generate the sound manually, so using the raw wave100 form for instruments was easier, plus converted raw waves of the instruments.
