The Vivaldi Music Maker suite of programs is designed to allow you to create
and edit music and sample files in a variety of formats:
 |
Filetype 000, or MusDump:
This is Vivaldi's own compressed format. Use it in preference to the others.
|
 |
Filetype 001, or STracker:
This is the SoundTracker / ProTracker / etc format, known as .MOD
files on the PC. Stereo settings are not recorded.
|
 |
Filetype 701, or ProTrack:
This is very similar to type 001.
|
 |
Filetype CC5, or TeqMusic:
Identical to 001. Used in the game "Lemmings".
|
 |
Filetype CB6, or Tracker:
From the old "Tracker" program for the Archimedes. Stereo settings are
restricted when stored in this type of file.
|
 |
Filetype 10B, or Symphony:
This is the Digital Symphony type. Vivaldi cannot save or load this type of
file without conversion by DSConvert.
|
 |
Filetype AF1, or Maestro:
Maestro saves files of this type. Before Vivaldi can load them, they must
have been converted to Tracker format by
Maes>Trak.
|
 |
Filetype FF1, or Pattern:
This file stores one pattern of music.
|
 |
Filetype 002, or SampDump:
This is Vivaldi's own compressed sound sample format. Use it in preference
to the others for storage, but not for mixing or backdrops (see below).
|
 |
Filetype CB5, or STSample:
This is Tracker's sound sample format. Use this type when you want to mix it
with another sample in Samp-Edit, or when you
want to use it as a backdrop in SampMaker.
|
 |
Filetype D3C, or Armadeus:
Another sound sample file format.
|
 |
Filetype ED0, or DSEdit:
Yet another sound sample file format.

If this all has you a little confused, don't worry about it - just save things
using the option at the top of each save menu to start with. You will pick up
the rest later.
