not as much as Acid or Live..

> Does garagecrap use a simialar format?

it uses "Apple Loops"

which are AIFF files, and an invisible directory of metadata

theres also 'rex' files from recycle, which embed the metadata _inside_ the sound file. usually inline. using some archaic blob 'chunks' thing from the original aiff quasispec

i mainly use ssv files (154 0.8
                        932 0.6)

which is just sample offset and velocity. 

i havent looked to see if appleloops use samples, ppqn/bars/musical-timebase or both.

anywyas if i wanted more verbose/detail, id definitely use MoTools

http://motools.sourceforge.net

rather than inventing my own schema or reverse-engineering apple loops (ok, they probably have a spec up..)
