Tracking / Re: PSF to MOD

« on: February 19, 2008, 18:27:04 »

I'm referring to the PSF format that is used in most (all?) PS1 games. On the MODLAND ftp, there are lots of psf files for different games. I wanted to know whetether I could look at it like a MOD or MIDI file, i.e. seeing the note sequence, samples, etc... I'm actually specifically looking at the Crash Bandicoot soundtrack, which I have managed to play in an app called Audio Overload simply. I wonder what steps the composers go through to make these; what programs they use.

Tracking / Piano Roll Editors (aka Dots on a screen)

« on: February 19, 2008, 18:21:21 »

The tracker I use at the moment is a big fan of the piano roll editor (see pic). However, the app, PlayerPRO is no longer being developed and crashes frequently. I was wandering if there were any good trackers and/or midi sequencers using this type of editor for Mac OSX. Midigraphy ( http://www.lcv.ne.jp/~hirox/image/MIDI/MIDIgraphy1.jpg ) was also quite good, but again, it doesn't work on OSX. I asked this on yahoo answers and the only answer I got was someone saying iTunes or try google!

Just a thought... Apple should consider developing Quicktime and iTunes to accept mod files... Would this development be impossible or just a waste of time?

Tracking / PSF to MOD

« on: February 19, 2008, 17:37:25 »

Is there a way of doing this? Ideally on a mac... Wikipedia says that it involves sequencing so it is sort of a cross between a midi and an mp3 - sort of like a mod.

I'm still looking for a way of playing files ending with 11C, 22C and 44C.

The Lobby / Re: Ever burnt your favourite mods on CDs?

Many times, but I listen more to my ipod than CDs now, so most of my faves are on there!

Help me find that... / Re: Looking for a soundtrack

« on: January 10, 2008, 21:21:31 »

Hi there,
I also liked the music to this game and managed to rip it from the game and convert it into XM format (MOD didn't really work!). I've sent them by email. If there's anyone else who wants it have a look on www.mirsoft.info - it should be uploaded soon.

Just out of curiosity, was the extra world Phil's Mac World?!!!

Help me find that... / mods by "Kyze"

« on: December 27, 2007, 23:12:58 »

I'm trying to get the music from a game called Bugatron. They were saved as .oxm files (xms with ogg samples). My tracker opens them, but each sample is just white noise. Anyway, does anyone know where I can get this person's music:

His name is Robert Odman

His handle is Kyze

His groups have been: Reactor Core and BPX

The songs were made in 1999

His tunes that I am looking for are: Deep Blue, Anaesthesia, 404, Binary Flow. I've found a few of his on modules.pl.

Help me find that... / Re: "This is a dream" Mod

« on: December 27, 2007, 22:36:18 »

I vaguely recognise the phrase "this is a dream" from one of my modules, but I'm afraid it's probably been trashed or at least lost in a sea of thousands of modules. Sorry I couldn't of been much help - I'm trying to find a few tunes as well and I know how frustrating it is!

However, you can try to run ProTracker on your amiga / in WinUAE and load those files.

I'm using a mac and don't have a pc, an amiga or the software you mentioned. Does it sound like an amiga module, because to be honest, this game came out around year 2000. That's why I thought it would be DA format, because that's what it seems most new (non-shareware) games use! Isn't there a compression app which would run on mac (or directly on windows) which uncompresses it like you'd uncompress a zip file? Sorry for my lack of knowledge of the amiga age - I'm quite young and haven't even seen what an amiga looks like!

How do I uncompress it?

That would be great. I'm not that sure if they are compressed modules though, because they also have sound effects with the 11C/22C/44C extension. The only way I can play it is by opening my tracker and selecting import RAW data. It is very bad quality - a squeaky heap of white noise, but when I play it at a low frequency, I can recognise the tune. The mystery is that the game has so high quality music and FX that it seems impossible one could get that sound from one of the 11C files.

Do you or anyone else know of a recording program that can record straight out of the computer, rather than having to use the external mic?

Thanks for your help!
