# Samplebank XML Format Specification
Samplebank XMLs describe a samplebank file that contains compressed waveform data. It specifies which sample files to include as well as certain global properties such as the index of this samplebank.
---
```xml
<SampleBank
Name="<C Indentifier>"
Index="<uint>"
Medium="<Medium>"
CachePolicy="<CachePolicy>"
BufferBug="[bool]"
>
```
Begins a new samplebank.
**Attributes**
- **Name**: The name of the samplebank.
- **Index**: The index of the samplebank for the samplebank table. Must be a unique index for all samplebanks and pointers.
- **Medium**: The storage medium, from the `SampleMedium` enum.
- **CachePolicy**: The cache policy, from the `AudioCacheLoadType` enum.
- <ins>[Optional]</ins> **BufferBug**: Whether this samplebank suffers from a buffer clearing bug present in the original audio tools. For matching only.
**Tags**
-
```xml
<Pointer
Index="<uint>"
/>
```
Create an alternate index that refers to this samplebank.
**Attributes**
- **Index**: The alternative index, must be unique among all samplebanks and pointers.
---
-
```xml
<Sample
Name="<C Identifier>"
Path="<Path>"
/>
```
Adds a **compressed** sample file to the samplebank. The sample should be single-channel and big-endian, in a format that is recognizable by the audio driver such as: pcm16, vadpcm, or half-frame vadpcm.
**Attributes**
- **Name**: Name of this sample. Must be a valid C language identifier.
- **Path**: Path to aifc file relative to the project root (typically in `$(BUILD_DIR)/assets/audio/samples/`)
---
-
```xml
<Blob
Name="<C Identifier>"
Path="<Path>"
/>
```
Adds a binary blob to the samplebank. Intended for matching only when data cannot be identified.
**Attributes**
- **Name**: Name of this blob. Must be a valid C language identifier.
- **Path**: Path to binary file, relative to the project root (typically in `$(BUILD_DIR)/assets/audio/samples/`)
---
```xml
</SampleBank>
```
