- Description
- The Portable Voice Format (PVF) is a digital audio file format primarily used for storing voice recordings. PVF files are designed to encapsulate voice data at various bit rates, making them suitable for applications where voice clarity and file size are critical, such as voicemail systems, interactive voice response systems, and other telephony applications. Unlike more common audio formats that aim for high fidelity and music playback, PVF focuses on the efficient encoding of speech, optimizing for intelligibility and compact file size.
- The TXW file format is associated with the Yamaha TX16W, a digital sampling keyboard produced in the late 1980s. These TXW files contain audio data that is specifically formatted for use with the TX16W sampler. Essentially, a TXW file stores a sample or a collection of samples, including their associated parameters such as loop points, velocity layers, and other settings that are necessary for the sampler to correctly playback the sounds. The format is proprietary to Yamaha.
