CLAD - Creative Labs and Ad Lib (TM) Converter

Discussion

The CLAD program translates instrument data between the Ad Lib and Creative Labs (Sound Blaster) native file formats. .INS and .SBI files are used by the Ad Lib and Creative Labs voice editing tools, respectively.

CLAD has the following command-line syntax:


CLAD < infile.ins | infile.sbi > < outfile.ins | outfile.sbi >

where infile represents the instrument file (in either Ad Lib (.INS) or Sound Blaster (.SBI) format) to translate, and outfile represents the file to be created in the new format.

The use of the .INS and .SBI file suffixes is mandatory.

INS2SBI, a similar program which accompanies the Sound Blaster Developer Kit, can also perform a one-way instrument file translation from the Ad Lib format to the Sound Blaster format. However, INS2SBI contains several bugs; CLAD should be used for this purpose instead.
