Link's Voice, or any other sound for that matter?

[SanguinettiMods]

Does anyone have any information on this format whatsoever and could help me with editing it?

I've hypothesized that it's some variation of the .wav file, but I can't be for certain. The only reason I don't think it's a MIDI is because I think it'd be slightly hard to make a MIDI scream.

 

Either way, does anyone know any sort of format or documentation/information that would be helpful for me?

The format is VADPCM. Samples will never be in a MIDI format because MIDI contains only sequencing data.

I don't think there's a way to properly edit the samples yet though, you'd probably have to get them as wave files first and then convert back to VADPCM after editing, and that doesn't give very nice results.

You might want to take a look at this tool though:

Thanks for finding this. Although Does it do much more than export .wav files?

 

Also, the .wav files are -really- high pitched.

Whoa! I did not know something like that even existed. D:

Now I can stop hopelessly searching for an archive of OoT/MM soundeffect rips on the internet. Thanks for the link!

I think you can import sounds with it but it might not work for the Zelda games.

To correct the pitch you need to change the sample rate to whatever the original samples were using, probably 22050 Hz or lower.

For things like Instruments from sets and Link's voice, it sounds like 20000 Is correct.

Other sound like 16000 is correct.

 

EDIT: You wouldn't happen to have a wav 2 vADPCM tool, would you? I don't see anything that can convert a new .wav.

Hm, makes me wonder what happened to the Beta Link voice I heard in one of the GCN chanel's uploads...

As far as I know there isn't a proper way to do it yet because nobody has figured out the correct way of encoding the samples. Sorry.

Saw this thought it might help

http://www.therwp.co.../n64-sound-tool (Someone already linked to it my bad)

 

Also this tool says it can convert to ADPCM if that helps http://www.toolsoft....-converter.html

Thanks, but unfortunately, this is only for GoldenEye 007. Perhaps someone might be able to edit the source code.

The RWP link is just an older version of the tool, I should update it. I do support encoding to the VADPCM format...but the sound format of Zelda I do not support reencoding the banks, only N64Wavetables V1, V2, CtlTbls, and CtlTbls (Acclaim). I do not support EAD which is what Zelda is. I'd love for someone to take the source and add it though. Also sound Bank 0 inexplicably doesn't sound right.

[SanguinettiMods]

Also sound Bank 0 inexplicably doesn't sound right.

 

It sounds right to me if you change the sample rate. Either 16000 or 20000 is what works.
