I'm pretty sure that your right about the PCM part. The thing that I'm
most interesed in is preserving acid's tracking/sequencing data. an acid
project contains any number of pcm/wav files along with a bunch of other
data such as loop points, pitch shift info, time strech and a bunch of
other stuff that i cant remember.
I'm interested in writing a program that would take a acid project and
convert it to the necessary format for my friends akai s6000 sampler.
acid is a great program for "prototyping" but it lacks the ability to run
a sampler via midi.
thanks

Well the files should be plain PCM encoded files. It shouldn't be too
hard to figure it out.
I'm the author of libsndfile
http:/www.zip.com.au/~erikd/libsndfile/
and I may be interested (not that I have any time of course :-)) in
added ACID format reading to libsndfile.
Where can I get a file to have a look at? If someone could email me
a URL I'd appreciate it. Please don't just email me a file.
Cheers,
Erik
