MilkyTracker Support / Re: XM to MOD... help needed!

Ah, thank you very much. I found a few of these via trail and error, mostly error!

With the BPM value - Do I have to enter thing on the first line of each pattern, or only once?

Thanks again for both your answers, it is a tricky format to write in, but highly rewarding!

MilkyTracker Support / XM to MOD... help needed!

« on: March 23, 2010, 18:18:59 »

Hi,
I apologise if this is covered in a tutorial, or forum post I have overlooked, but I haven't been able to find an answer and hoped you guys could help.

I am working on some music that has to be tracked and delivered in .mod  format. although I have worked in Milky/XM before and experienced no problems at all,but Im finding the conversion a bit of a nightmare.

I've converted all my samples down to the required formats for .MOD (8-bit, less than 128k, etc.) and encountered some other issues! I will list them below:

I found my musical parts transposed down half a step after saving/loading as .mod. E5 becomes Dsharp5 for example. Percussion parts/channels are unaffected by this.

My 'Note-off' commands are being converted into notes (B7s)

After loading, everything sounds 1 8ve lower.

BPM resets to 125 on loading.

I am aware that there are big differences in the formats, but haven't been able to find a clear reason and appropriate fix for my issues.

I apologise if these are fairly obvious answers, but its driving me mad! I just want my .mod to work as intended!

(using latest DL [January?] of Milky on Mac OSX 10.5, My samples are 8-bit, with an SR of 22.5KHz, Milky project settings match this., if it helps)

Please help!
