You guys are always talking about IT "filters" but as a matter of fact there is only one type of filter in IT. And that's a low pass resonant filter. There is no IT "filters" or whatever, it really sounds like IT had a crazy bunch of them. I just wanted to get this straight.

haha, okay then let's call it IT filter and OpenMPT filters - OpenMPT also got highpass filters

well, this (not-so-serious) question was meant to compare the original formats, not MPTM (modplug's own format which should replace the custom IT extensions in "an unknown phuture"*)...

*where's that line from?

they sound better in modplug because Zanoma also made use of S99 effects (Reverb) which can only be played in Modplug Player / Tracker.

oh, you're definitely missing a lot then ;P
Listen to Zanoma's files for example... There are just 4 of them, but they nicely show how good filters can work. (Listen in ModPlug)
Oh yeah, and of course my tunes...

the variety of soundcards was not really the problem. almost all soundcards weren't able to do hardware mixing at all (GUS and AWE are exceptions) so everything had to be performed in software anyway. When IT filters were introduced (this was very late, 1996 or even 1997 IIRC), the IT format was already quite advanced, but CPUs were still slow, so you had to have a MMX-capable CPU in order to get filters in Impulse Tracker. But seriously, I think it's very blindfold to judge a format by hardware support. I mean, would you as an artist despense with sexy filters just because of the hardware? Especially nowadays, when every IT player (well, except WinAmp -_-) can handle filters?
