Amiga 8-Bit Sampled Voice (.8svx)
The 8SVX (8-Bit Sampled Voice) file format, developed by Electronic Arts as part of the Interchange File Format (IFF) standard, is used for storing 8-bit pulse-code modulation (PCM) audio on Amiga computers. Introduced in the 1980s, it was primarily used in video games, multimedia applications, and digital sound processing, enabling efficient sound playback. 8SVX files supported compression and multi-channel audio, making them ideal for memory-limited environments. Despite advancements in audio technology, 8SVX remains significant in retro computing and emulation, preserving Amiga's audio heritage.
