OSX has a command to make a hexadecimal dump of a file to a textfile.
That textfile can be transferred to SB via copy and paste and then recoded into a binary file.
I made an example with the soundfile "alarm.wav"
In the terminal-app in OSX that file is transferred into the hexdump file "alarm.wavHEXdump" with the command:
hexdump -C -v alarm.wav > alarm.wavHEXdump
More details are given in the attached file "HEXdump in OSX procedure" The following picture gives a screenshot of the terminal-window.
