Output Sample Format...
Selecting this menu item brings up the output sample format dialog which controls the format of the output sample file. All sound files are created as Digidesign Sound Designer II format files, unless the -A option is specified in the command line, which causes Csound to create AIFF (Audio Interchange File Format) files. The radio buttons select the sample format and default to 16-bit integer. The 8-bit integer, 8-bit a-law, 8-bit µ-law, 16-bit integer, 32-bit integer, and 32-bit float formats correspond to the -c, -a, -u, -s, -l, and -f options, respectively, in UNIX Csound. Note that 8-bit a-law format is not supported. If the no header checkbox is checked, this suppresses the output of a sound file header; only the raw samples are output. This corresponds to the -h option in UNIX Csound. The blocksize controls how many samples are accumulated before writing to the output sample file. This corresponds to the -b option in UNIX Csound. Note that all input files must be either Digidesign Sound Designer II format, AIFF format or raw 16-bit samples.
