Short: Converts XM's to OctaMED modules Author: pynjo@jytol.fi (Jouko Pynnonen) Uploader: pynjo jytol fi (Jouko Pynnonen) Type: mus/misc Architecture: m68k-amigaos XM2MED is a little shell utility to convert FastTracker2 (XM) modules to OctaMED Sound Studio modules. Usage is simple: at the shell prompt type xm2med and the program will convert the XM module and create the OctaMED file named by removing the .xm suffix. Limitations The program is currently far from perfect. It can probably convert most simple tunes but sometimes gets confused with tempos, instrument transpose values, finetunes and such, at least if some of the more "exotic" features of FT2 are used. Also many of the Exx commands aren't converted right. It can't convert * instruments with multiple samples * instruments with volume or panning envelopes * and more... 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 module instead of e-mailing it to me ('coz I'd probably get gigabytes of them). And of course, if you think this is a brilliant utility, i don't mind getting some positive feedback either.
