MilkyTracker Support / Re: 9xx Sample offset docs, stupid question

« on: April 03, 2009, 18:39:52 »

Feel free to suggest a clarification, it's a little hard to stay away from the word.

Byte is a sample and it doesn't translate to milliseconds because that would depend on the playback speed. MilkyTracker makes the conversion (in display) so that there's no difference to the user between 8 and 16-bit samples.

Why step 5? You get much further by examining the sample names in a tracker and doing searches based on them. (Unfortunately it seems the game author has trashed most of the original song titles.)

Btw: IZArc. Replace step 6 with "select .zipo files, open context menu, select extract".

Our coffeemaker, the Braun AromaPassion KF 500, may not be anything special, but the force field it emits (fig. 1) somewhat matches the colour scheme of the new TMA.

I took the liberty of attaching the song in your post. The feature is there to avoid using file sharing sites like that, so please use it.

Help me find that... / Re: Identifying this piece

I can only tell you that the composer is probably Finnish judging by instrument names, some of which are in (bastardized) Finnish. Maybe it's a game data file?

Not really.

PC Players / Re: How can I put Mod music in CD to play at club?

« on: March 25, 2009, 12:56:04 »

Without going into the whole permission-to-use issue, most trackers have a WAV export function. But a simple way of doing things would be to open the files in XMPlay, making sure the MOD playback settings per module are at least in the same ballpark with the original trackers, selecting "WAV Writer - normalize" as your output Device and outputting at 44100kHz, stereo, 16-bit. Hit play and you should end up with CD-ready wave files.

MilkyTracker Support / Re: Can I change the global volume of a sample?

« on: March 25, 2009, 12:47:23 »

Select the sample you want, click Ins. Ed. and adjust the volume on the right, next to the Exit button. Note that any volume commands on the pattern will override this setting.

If that's happening for you, you can use the Ctrl/Alt/Shift/-V shortcuts to scale volume commands per pattern, selection or track respectively. Or, if you're not using the volume envelope for anything else, you can set up a constant volume, which the volume commands can't touch. As a last resort, you can always select the sample in the sample editor and lower the volume the the Vol(ume boost) function. In that case it is notable that you cannot restore the original volume anymore, without loss of quality (bits).

Fasttracker II, that is correct, and both have those effect commands you remember, but they're not DSP effects like the ones you mentioned. Refer to the manual for the available effect commands. We can only play samples and modify their playback in 3 dimensions: speed, volume and panning.

Ahoy there in the command center, this looks like a dream topic for you. Should almost split it to the programming section.
