# BEEP & SOUND TRANSLATOR

This program will translate BEEP data to SOUND data and also SOUND data to BEEP data.

The data must be MUSIcomp data compatible (MUSIcomp & MUSIcomp V1.1) or else it might not work.

To translate, first load your codes between 40000 & 65535. You will then have to enter the starting address of the code to be translated, the length and the address where the translated codes will be stored.

The computer will translate the codes and tell you the length of the new ones.

BEEP data is translated faster than SOUND data, by the way, and is 1/3rd shorter than SOUND data.

You can playback the translated music at line 9000 for BEEP data and at line 9100 fo SOUND data.

The program is in BASIC so that you can modify it if your data is not compatible with MUSIcomp data.

Loading name TRANSL  
Program type Music utility
