Well, as said, the mda plugins are also available on the MAC...
and you can still look at my modules if you don't have the VSTs, you'll just miss some effects... for that purpose, you'd have to download the mp3...
and as not only sceners - who use trackers - listen to my music, i think it's okay that there are mp3s...

Modules however are distributed and supposed to work dependless on their platform and player.

I don't think that this is the original concept of modules. Modules (MODs) were supposed to play back on Amigas in the 80s, other platforms only adopted them - and the MAC is for example a very important platform for creating music, so many VSTs have MAC support, f.e. the mda series which i use.

XMPlay only works on Windows and many people are listening to modules from Linux or OS X

XMPlay is based on BASS.DLL which runs fine on the MAC and I think there's also a linux port.

t destroys the feeling of a module when I can't watch patterns scroll and see effects triggering. But maybe that's just me.

That's right, but people can still download my tracks as normal modules. if they want the maxmium sound volume, they can download all the free VSTs i use.

okay, i'll shut up for now :shifty:

Tracking / MOD: Funk Repeat

in fact, i would like to have this effect - it sounds much cooler than just adding offset effects

Tracking / MOD: Funk Repeat

« on: June 02, 2007, 23:57:41 »

holy crap, i googled the web for this effect, and i found some usefull information on page 2 (of 3)... the Funk Repeat effect only existed in the original PT 1.0 rountines, it was replaced by "Invert Loop" later. I read this on nearly every page i could find. Both effects seemed to "trash samples", though, so hence why noone used them. on bottom of page 2, i found the final explanation of this effect - it seems to be very rare on the web. as this website is not online anymore, i linked to the google cache. in case it will be replaced, here's the original document:

 Command EF is the Funk Repeat command (Huge thanks to T-Jay for this
info!).  The command needs a short loop to work.  It moves the loop through
the whole length of the sample, e.g.:
   You have a sample that is 10000 (decimal) bytes long.  You have set the
sample loop to 0-1000.  When EFx is used, the loop will be moved to 1000-
2000, then to 2000-3000 etc.  After 9000-10000 the loop is set back to 0-
1000.  The speed of the loop "movement" is defined by x.  I don't know
exactly how the speed is specified, but E is two times as slow as F, D is
three times as slow as F etc.  EF0 will turn the Funk Repeat off and reset
the loop (to 0-1000).
   Some information can be slightly wrong, e.g. the loop MAY be moved from 0-
1000 to 1002-2002, but it isn't important.  Very few trackers actually
support it.

EDIT: As of July 2009, the site is offline again - If anyone wants that manual - let me know, I still have it.

but you also have to keep in mind that the probably most used mod player is XMplay which plays most modplug modules fine - it only lacks vst support, but i also offer mp3 downloads of my tracks that use VSTs... i mean, who uses impulse tracker to listen to IT files nowadays?

Don't forgot that there is a so-called "compatiblity export" in OpenModplug - it generates IT files that are fully compatible to Impulse Tracker (currently not, that is. i just spotted an error in the function that inserted a wrong IT version, so impulse tracker was not able to open the file)...
geee, i hate it to argue about this stuff with "oldsk00lers"...

by the way, i've never understood why modplug is always the "bad guy" in the scene. i mean, it does the same to IT format Impulse Tracker did to S3M, what many other trackers did to the original MOD format (including Fast Tracker)...
