i was just looking around the wiki and saw this page -

http://wiki.littlesounddj.com/SavStructure

i was wondering if there's a program that exists that would allow me to open a sav file, and view the info in it. any suggestions?

Yes, it is called Little Sound Dj.

On a more serious note, I've been pondering making such a program, but as with so many other ideas I have, I've never gotten to it. What is it that you want to achieve?

i don't really know what i want to achieve. if i knew how to view the information in a sav file, then maybe i could write up a little script where i could extract instruments from one sav file and then save them as individual files. then write another script that would add the saved instruments to other sav files.

like, an instrument manager.

or not even that specifically. if i could view the info, then maybe i could do other stuff LIKE that. anyways, im just curious to look at it.

Begin by looking at a sav file in a hex editor and look at the specification. You probably won't be able to read the file naturally, but in time you'll notice patterns, such as seeing what kind of data you're looking at. (Groove data has a distinct look, for example. Phonem names are written in ASCII. And so on.) That's how I became a wizard.

I still think someone should write a song merger tool.  I think it's totally doable and would come in handy for transitioning songs for realz. Do it, Nick!
