Short: Multiformat Module Editor And Converter
Author: bernie@shock.nervous.com (Bernardo Innocenti)
Uploader: bernie@shock.nervous.com (Bernardo Innocenti)
Type: mus/edit
Replaces: mus/misc/XModule30.lha
XModule release 3.4.
What is XModule?
================
A music module editor, converter, optimizer and processor featuring
a nice multiwindow, font sensitive GUI, ARexx port, AmigaGuide docs,
DataTypes support, transparent XPK and LhA decrunching and much more.
o Module Conversion
-----------------
XModule reads and writes modules in these formats:
- Sound/Noise/ProTracker
- StarTrekker
- TakeTracker (1-32 channels)
- ScreamTracker (up to 16 channels)
- Oktalyzer (4-8 channels)
- MED
- OctaMED (MMD1 only)
- MIDI files
o Module Optimization
-------------------
XModule can optimize modules by removing all unused or duplicate
patterns and instruments. Additionally XModule can optimize
instruments which have long tails made of zeroes or which extend
beyond the loop part.
o Module Processing
-----------------
XModule can process modules in several powerful ways. For
instance, you can `join' two modules together, or you can `merge'
two modules so that they will be played at the same time.
Instruments can be remapped to remove all the empty slots between
them.
o Pattern Editor
--------------
As of version 3.2, XModule features a powerful BOOPSI pattern
editor in a resizable window. Simple editing functions are
provided. More powerful features will come in a later release.
o 32 Channels, 14-bit Player.
---------------------------
A replayer for XModule is still under development and will be
based on Jarno Paanen's PS3M as well as Peter Kunath's DeliTracker
replayers. When this player will be done, XModule will become a
full music editor and I will probably rename it to `XTracker'.
Main changes from release 3.0 to release 3.4:
=============================================
ADD: Full featured Pattern Editor!!! Another big step towards a
complete n-channels music editor...
ADD: New loader for ScreamTracker 3.01! Conversion is not very good,
but at least it works.
ADD: Supports loading and saving TakeTracker with up to 32 channels.
ADD: Locale support. There is only an italian catalog yet, translated
by my friend Steven Cantini. If you want more translations, please
do them yourself and return the .ct files to me! :-)
ADD: Added support for MMD1 (OctaMED) modules. Improved MED loader and
saver.
ADD: Context sensitive help in all windows: pressing HELP now brings up
help on the active window.
FIX: Hopefully, all reported bugs have been fixed.
