Next, the encoding. Since it's a dump from an 80s machine, it's probably in a binary format. The data might be stored in 8-bit bytes or 16-bit words. I need to think about how parameters like waveforms, envelopes, or LFOs are represented here. Maybe there are specific checksums or data validation in the file to ensure correctness.

If you provide more context (device type, origin of dump, size), I can refine the offsets and toolset.

In GDB, use bt (backtrace) to print the call stack at the time of the crash.
