View source for X3V

'''X3V''' is a voice bank format developed by nineko for use in his [[xm3smps]] music conversion tool. It can contain up to 255 [[YM2612]] voices formatted according to the [[SMPS]] specifications; additionally, it can store a description for each voice. Other than xm3smps, Puto's [[xm4smps]] can also read and write X3V voice banks.

=File Structure=
The internal structure of an X3V voice bank is simple. The first byte specifies how many voices there are in the bank (0 to 255); after that, the actual voices begin, in the following format:
{|class="prettytable"
! Voice||Description length||Description
|-
|25 bytes||<center>1 byte</center>||0 to 255 bytes
|}
Opposed to [[YMX]] files, which store voices in the format used by ''[[Sonic 2]]'', X3V banks store voices in the format used by all the other Sonic games.[[Category:Data Formats]][[Category:Music]]
