- Description
- The SHN file format, short for Shorten Compressed Audio File, is a type of compressed audio file developed for efficiently archiving high-quality digital audio. Shorten was one of the early lossless compression methods for audio, meaning it allows the exact original audio data to be reconstructed from the compressed data, without any loss in quality.
- 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.
