Tracker-stylish composing software Visual AGI Sound Editor | Tracker-stylish composing software Visual AGI Sound Editor is a sound editor that allows you open, edit, and play SND files. It allows one to edit three voice tracks and one noise track with similar approach like in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FastTracker_2 Fast Tracker]. | ||
Yet the sound editor's development halted during beta and therefore it doesn't properly emulate the IBM PCjr 3 Voice or Tandy 3 Voice chips. However, a partially accurate tone is generated through your Windows sound device. Originally, should the sound editor had been finished, it would've been fully introduced into the complete Visual AGI studio. | |||
Visual AGI Sound Editor uses a custom audio format called VAS (Visual AGI Sound File). It uses an XML-like format for ease of editing. However, it can import Sierra SND files using the import feature. It can also export VAS files into Sierra SND format and General MIDI. | |||

** '''NOTE:''' Backup of the original picture before optimization should be kept, since there's a chance that optimized picture will be faulty and can't be imported into the game project. | |||
