ScopeTrax was written by Chris S. Craig for IBM-compatible PCs, including IBM PC/XT/AT systems and 8086-, 286-, 386-, and 486-class computers. The program runs under Microsoft MS-DOS and plays 8-bit sound files.
A .sip file contains a compressed audio sample for use by ScopeTrax. It is a program-specific sample format rather than a common audio interchange format.
Open the file with the original ScopeTrax program under Microsoft MS-DOS. On a modern computer, ScopeTrax may need to run in a suitable DOS environment or emulator.
Modern audio players are not expected to open .sip files directly.
Conversion depends on finding a converter that supports this old .sip format. If ScopeTrax can decompress or export the sample, save the result in a standard audio format and then use an audio converter if necessary.
