Short: Converts OctaMED SS mods to XM's Uploader: pynjo@jytol.fi (Jouko Pynnonen) Author: pynjo@jytol.fi (Jouko Pynnonen) Type: mus/misc MED2XM is a little shell utility to convert OctaMED Sound Studio modules (MMD1, MMD2, MMD3) to XM (FastTracker 2) modules. Usage is simple: at the shell prompt type med2xm and the program will create a new XM module, appending ".xm" to the output file name. Limitations It can't convert a module that has * more than 32 channels (since this is the XM limit) * patterns that have more than 128 lines (same reason) * hold, decay * synthetic or hybrid instruments * MIDI instruments * multiple songs * other similar weirdnesses I may have forgot New Features in V1.27 * Panning for instruments calculated; this is an average value and it's not always possible to do it 100% correctly. FastTracker 2 has different pannings for each instrument, while OctaMED Sound Studio deals with track panning * Multiple command pages are combined if possible. Certain commands can be translated to volume column commands which can be used simultaneously with ordinary commands. * Miscellaneous bug fixes If you find bugs or tunes that won't get converted right/at all, please e-mail me about them. If possible, just tell where I can find the problematic OctaMED module, instead of e-mailing it to me ('coz I'd probably get giga- bytes of them). And of course, if you think this is a brilliant utility, i don't mind getting some positive feedback either. Note: the author isn't responsible for ANYTHING this program does, as usual.
