Technical
All ORC files have the same format as RMI, but with some differences:
- ORC files don't use DLS sample banks.
- There is only one WAV track with all digital audio samples.
- Sample playback is controlled by Sequencer-Specific events in the MIDI sequence and by "voyl" chunk in the WAV track.
