The irony is that in that module, the 2nd set of channels is an exact duplicate of the first. I thought I must be doing something wrong when I implemented support for it in OpenMPT. But no, it's really just an 8 channel module for the sake of being 8 channels.Shit, you're right. That's.... weird. It even does the tempo setting (F command) on channels 1 and 5 simultaneously. I could somewhat understand it if they reversed the second set of channels as a workaround to make the output mono instead of stereo, or use the second set of channels to add a delay effect to the first set, or alternate channels to add more polyphony to what is a pure piano piece. But this, I don't even know what to say.
There are actually quite a few MED files with synthesized instruments, but they are not particularly outstanding. Advanced features need advanced users.Probably true. I attended a talk with Matt Gray and Rob Hubbard at a local retro game show a couple of years ago, and they talked about how things worked on the C64. Back then you basically needed to know 6502 assembly to make good music.
