AIFF and WAVE format details: importing

AIFF files
When data is loaded into the NAUTILUS, the following four
chunks are referenced: Common chunk, Sound Data chunk,
Marker chunk, and Instrument chunk. Other chunks are
ignored.
Restrictions on the parameters in each chunk are described
below.
Common chunk
Only one (mono) or two (stereo) channels are supported.
Sample sizes of 1–24 bits are supported.
If the sample data is 8 bits or less, it will be loaded as 16 bit
data with the lower 8 bits always at 0.
Sound Data chunk
Offset and block size are ignored. (Block-Aligning Sound
Data is not supported.)
Marker chunk
Up to eight markers are supported. The ninth and subsequent
markers will be ignored.
Instrument chunk
If the loop play mode is ForwardBackwardLooping, this will
be handled as ForwardLooping.
baseNote, detune, lowNote, highNote, lowVelocity,
highVelocity, gain, and releaseLoop will be ignored.

AIFF and WAVE format details: exporting

AIFF files
When exporting, the NAUTILUS will use the Common
Chunk, Sound Data Chunk, Marker Chunk, and Instrument
Chunk.
Limitations on the parameters within each chunk are
discussed below.
Common Chunk
The number of channels is fixed at 1 (mono).
The sample size is fixed at 16 bits.
Marker Chunk
Two markers are used as Loop Start Address and End
Address respectively.
Instrument Chunk
The loop play mode is fixed at Forward Looping.
Zone data of the multisamples will not be exported.
WAVE files
When exporting, the NAUTILUS will use the Format
Chunk, Sample Chunk, and Wave Data. Restrictions are
given below.
WAVE files
When loading, the NAUTILUS references the Format
Chunk, Sample Chunk, and Wave Data. Limitations are
discussed below.
Format chunk
Standard PCM format is the only format category that is
supported.
Only one (mono) or two (stereo) channels are supported.
Sample sizes of 1–24 bits are supported. If the sample data is
8 bits or less, it will be loaded as 16 bit data with the lower 8
bits always at 0.
Sample Chunk
Only the loop data is referenced. If there is multiple loop
data, the loop with the greatest number of loop playback
times (Play Count) will be used. Even if the Type is
Alternating or Backward, it will be handled as Forward
Loop.
Wave data
The Wave List chunk is not supported.
Format Chunk
The format category is fixed at standard PCM format.
The number of channels is 1 (mono) or 2 (stereo), and is
fixed at 1 (mono) for export.
16- and 24-bit sample sizes are supported.
Sample Chunk
The Type is fixed at Forward Loop.
Zone data of the multisamples will not be exported.
