The .big files which hold the oscillators and samples for hype, solina, molotron are actually .zip files. You can open them with winzip or winrar.

They can be found in the "content" folders in your synth content.

Inside there should be the file structure like:
Code: Select allDrawbars
Patches
Phrases
Samples
Wavetables


The sounds are all packed into giant raw continuous files and marked with a goofy header.

You can listen to them on linux with aplay like this:
Code: Select allcat Wavetables/000\ ADA Wavetables | aplay -f s32_le -r 44100

Buy raiders gear and curl activator.


...Make wavetables and oscillators lol. It's not really technically a hack, its a zip file with some raw pcm in some files inside.
