? THE SAMPLE-FORMAT (SPL) V0.0 ?
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Here comes the description for the old sample-format "SPL", which was used in older tracker-versions (V2.0-V2.2). This format isn't supported any longer in Digitrakker, that means you can read it, but you can't save samples in this form. The reason for this step was the fact, that there are too many sample-formats and it makes no sense to introduce a new one, because the existing IFF-format nearly contains all infos you need for a Digitrakker-sample.
