alBnkfNew
Syntax#include <libaudio.h> void alBnkfNew(ALBankFile *ctl, u8 *tbl);
Arguments
- ctl is the pointer to the control (.ctl) data
- tbl is the pointer to the wavetable (.tbl) data
Explanation
The instrument compiler (ic) creates two files, the control (.ctl) file and
the wavetable (.tbl) file. The control file contains instrument performance
information and the wavetable file contains the actual wavetable data.
The control file format specifies that references to bank data be stored
as offsets from the beginning of the control file. To improve runtime
performance, this function converts the offsets to virtual addresses.
Typically, the control (.ctl) file is loaded into DRAM while the wavetable
file (.tbl) is left in the Cart ROM because of its size. If your table
file is small, you can optionally load that into DRAM to minimize DMA
requests while the sequence is playing.
