HET_EXPORT(1)						  The Canonical Csound Reference					     HET_EXPORT(1)

NAME

       het_export - Converts a .het file to a comma separated text file. .

SYNTAX

	   het_export het_file cstext_file

	   csound -U het_export het_file cstext_file

INITIALIZATION

       het_file - Name of the input .het file.

       cstext_file - Name of the output comma-separated text file.

       The het_export utility generates a comma-separated text file for manual editing of a .het file produced by the HETRO utility. It can be
       used in combination with het_import to produce data for the adsyn generator.

NAME

       sdif2ad - Converts SDIF files to files usable by adsynt. .

DESCRIPTION

       Convert files Sound Description Interchange Format (SDIF) to the format usable by Csound's adsyn opcode. As of Csound version 4.10, sdif2ad
       was available only as a standalone program for Windows console and DOS.

SYNTAX

	   csound -U sdif2ad [flags] infilename outfilename

INITIALIZATION

       Flags:

       o   -sN -- apply amplitude scale factor N

       o   -pN -- keep only the first N partials. Limited to 1024 partials. The source partial track indices are used directly to select internal
	   storage. As these can be arbitrary values, the maximum of 1024 partials may not be realized in all cases.

       o   -r -- byte-reverse output file data. The byte-reverse option is there to facilitate transfer across platforms, as Csound's adsyn file
	   format is not portable.

       If the filename passed to hetro has the extension ".sdif", data will be written in SDIF format as 1TRC frames of additive synthesis data.
       The utility program sdif2ad can be used to convert any SDIF file containing a stream of 1TRC data to the Csound adsyn format.  sdif2ad
       allows the user to limit the number of partials retained, and to apply an amplitude scaling factor. This is often necessary, as the SDIF
       specification does not, as of the release of sdif2ad, require amplitudes to be within a particular range.  sdif2ad reports information
       about the file to the console, including the frequency range.

       The main advantages of SDIF over the adsyn format, for Csound users, is that SDIF files are fully portable across platforms (data is
       "big-endian"), and do not have the duration limit of 32.76 seconds imposed by the 16 bit adsyn format. This limit is necessarily imposed by
       sdif2ad. Eventually, SDIF reading will be incorporated directly into adsyn, thus enabling files of any length (subject to system memory
       limits) to be analysed and processed.

       Users should remember that the SDIF formats are still under development. While the 1TRC format is now fairly well established, it can still
       change.
