This is likely the most tricky and confusing parts of the SGI Audio Tools, so be sure to take a break if you're finding yourself frustrated. Take comfort in that what you're feeling is pretty normal, and that others have been in the same spot. |

Section 18.1.12 of the ''Nintendo 64 Programming Manual'' is a pretty comfortable overview of what each section of an instrument bank file does. It's not "correct" in certain areas though, and copy/pasting the shown examples won't always work with <code>ic</code>. A particular example is that the manual says to reference each instrument in your bank section with <code>program</code> when in fact you'll need to use <code>instrument</code> instead. |

If you're looking for a reference of a working instrument bank, it's best to check the example banks at <code>ultra/usr/src/pr/assets/banks/</code> included with the SDK. They'll run through <code>ic</code> fine and help clarify things for you. |
