XM (file Format)
XM, standing for "extended module", is an audio file type introduced by Triton's FastTracker 2. XM introduced multisampling-capable instruments with volume and panning envelopes, sample looping and basic pattern compression. It also expanded the available effect commands and channels, added 16-bit sample support, and offered an alternative frequency table for portamentos. XM is a common format for many module files. The file format has been initially documented by its creator in the file XM.TXT, which accompanied the 2.08 release of FastTracker 2, as well as its latest known beta version2.09b The file, written in 1994 and attributed to Mr.H of Triton (Fredrik Huss), bears the header "The XM module format description for XM files version $0104." The contents of the file have been posted on this article's Talk subpage for reference. This documentation is however said to be incomplete and insufficient to properly recreate the behaviour of the original program. The MilkyTrac ...

S3M (file Format)
''S3M'' (Scream Tracker 3 Module) is a Module file, module file format, the successor to the STM format used by the original Scream Tracker.

The official format specification document covers space for 16 digital channels and 14 synthesized ones with two unused slots out of a total of 32. * Separate volume channel in pattern data. * Supports more instruments than MOD or STM (99 instead of 31). * Default panning of channels can be specified by the composer. * Extra-fine pitch slides are added * Instruments are not limited to a fixed sample rate for a given note. The format stores the instrument's sample rate at middle C. The period table used by S3M is smaller than the one used by the MOD format (only 12 entries, compared to between 36 and 60 for the ...

OpenMPT
OpenMPT is an open-source audio module tracker for Windows (with an intended Wine-functionality for UNIX and Linux x86-systems). It was previously called ModPlug Tracker, and was first released by Olivier Lapicque in September 1997. ''Computer Music'' magazine listed OpenMPT among the top five free music trackers in 2007, and it is one of the most widely used trackers. History MOD Plugin and ModPlug Tracker OpenMPT was initially developed as a browser plug-in called MOD Plugin, which enabled users to play music and other sounds encoded in module files. ModPlug Tracker, along with a player application named ModPlug Player, evolved from this plug-in. In December 1999, Olivier Lapicque sent the module-playing parts of ModPlug Tracker's source code to Kenton Varda, under the GPL-2.0-or-later, to write a plugin for XMMS based on the code. In 2001, the source code was released in the public domain, [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
