More binary files added

More binary files added

2007-08-28 by Grant Richter

I added more binary files to the section.

The large Mirage zip file is the contents of the factory disks decoded into 64K raw binary 
files. Each upper and lower bank is a 64K block with one or more samples in it.

You can open them in Sound Forge in the 8 bit raw format.

You can open them in Wave256 or Move256 by changing the file extension to .256

They come from my personal disk collection which I purchased at full price. I used mread.exe 
to get a disk image, then wrote a QBasic program to take the file sectors and combine them 
into a full 64K block.

The idea is to use them as a waveform resource to construct new PROMs.

The Paul Maddox's Monowave file was published by Paul on the net. I just renamed it. I seem 
to remember he used Wave256 to help develop it. Since he put it in the public domain, I don't 
think he would object.

So by using a joystick/envelope or similar slow thing to set wave and bank 
the scan of the Mirage waves (if alinged in banks) will result in time
streching of the replayed said Mirage sample! Would be fun if the sample
are a spoken sentence!
