- Description
- ADX is a proprietary compressed audio format developed by CRI Middleware for use in video games. It uses ADPCM-based compression to store sound effects and music efficiently. The format is widely used in games on Sega and other platforms that utilize CRI's audio middleware.
- Compressed audio file similar to an .MP3 file, but offers several performance improvements; examples include a higher coding efficiency for both stationary and transient signals, a simpler filterbank, and better handling of frequencies above 16 kHz; maintains quality nearly indistinguishable from the original audio source.
