6. A-112 Sample Dump Loader

The A-112 MIDI interface enables the transfer of sam-
ple and wave data from and to the device using MIDI
SysEx strings. For that purpose a standard MIDI se-
quencer may be used.

In addition we include a 3 1/2“ floppy disk containing a
A-112 sample dump loader software for PC.

Version 1.2 of this software (see fig. 7) enables bi-
directional transfer between A-112 and the PC. Sam-
ples and waves can be organized and stored on the
storage device (e.g. hard disk) of a PC. In the PC each
sample or wave can be assigned any name (DOS
convention, i.e. max. 8 characters) and stored as a
WAV file (8 bit mono). The A-112 format is automati-
cally converted into the WAV format.

Conversely, any WAV file can be transferred to the
A-112.
The program reads any WAV file in 8, 12 or 16
bit mono or stereo formats. Stereo WAV files are
converted to mono before transfer to the A-112.

The WAV file format opens up a wide pool of sounds
for use with the A-112. You may try out Windows sy-
stem sounds or modifying sounds with a sample editor
program and then re-loading back into to the A-112.

For the next version of the sample dump loader pro-
gram we are planning to include the ability to generate
sample dump MIDI files.
