I'm not sure I need to go buy a book to learn the answer to this
fairly simple question, do I? After slogging through all the crap
necessary to get synth sound and mixed channels w/ fx playback and
music simultaneously on iOS, I don't really feel like such an
absolute beginner. I just am confused as to why my mp3 playback
does not work with longer files, and in addition I am wondering
whether a 'pure' sound format exists, where you get the samples and
their sequencing all bundled up in a file.
A 'pure' sound format would only include sound, not sequencing or
sample information. In other words, a bundle cannot be pure unless
all of the data is of one type. What you're describing is a hybrid
of sound waveforms and sequencing, with multiple data types in a
single file. There have been such file types in the past, but they
were usually custom-designed for one particular program and then
adopted by one or two others.
