Description

BANKMNG.TXT wrote:

AdLib Instrument File Conversion Program The Ad Lib version 1.5 series product line features a new sound file format which is called an instrument bank file. In order to provide portability between the new V1.5 series and pre-V1.5 file formats, you will find on this diskette a utility program (BANKMNG.EXE) that converts from the new .BNK to the old .INS file formats and vice-versa. How to use the conversion program is explained below in the BANK MANAGER section. AdLib Instrument File Conversion Program is concidered obsolete. Use as a last resort.

Development Status

AdLib Bank Manager is considered obsolete. Use as a last resort.

Usage

- To copy instruments from a bank file to separate .INS files, type:

  > bankmng /g <bank_file>.bnk

     where <bank_file> is the name of the bank file.
     (If you are copying to a diskette, note that DOS has a limit of 110
     files in the main directory of a diskette.  However, there is no limit
     in a sub-directory on a diskette.)

- To create a bank file which includes of all the .INS file in the

current directory, type:

  > bankmng /p /i*.ins <newbank>.bnk

     where <newbank> is the name of the bank file to be created.

- To add one or more instrument files (.INS) to an existing bank, type:

  > bankmng /p /a /i<ins_file>.ins <bank>.bnk

     where <ins_file> is the file name of the instrument
        (example: *, ab*, piano1, etc),
     <bank> is the name of the existing bank to be updated.


- To get a summary of the available parameters, type:<pre>
  > bankmng

Summary:

bankmng { /g /p } [ /a] [/i<ins_files.ins>] <bank_file.bnk>

  options:
     /p: create a new bank file and add .INS files
     /g: copy from bank to .INS files
     /i<files>: .INS source file path name
     /a: with /p, append .INS if bank file exists
