I made a remix of 'Beloved Tomboyish Girl' for Chiptune Cafe's Pefect Cover Class[sic]


Here is the IT:

tbh, I didn't want to compete in cafe 2019, I don't want to compete in demo partys every month, and I released that module to battle of the bits, I asked the organizers of cafe 2019 and they didn't reply. but, I'll still compete in another competition next year, will I?

If you don't assign instruments to a specific channel, they will be spread over all MIDI channels except for MIDI channel 10, with a direct pattern to MIDI channel mapping (i.e. pattern channel 1 is MIDI channel 1, etc.), so this is a dangerous mode if you have multiple instruments mapped the same way as they might stop each other if the MIDI device in question cannot sustain notes that happened before a program change.

"donated" is the wrong word here, Impulse Tracker was not donationware. You had to register and pay to receive the stereo WAV writer and the personalized IPX driver. Only such registered users got access to IT 2.15. Now you can build your own IT 2.15 using the released source code.

Doesn't say anything related to 2.15 but an interesting read all the same.

Mentions something about 2.15 here..

There was frankly one user that drifted Jeffrey to that boundary indeed. However, he did still created the IPX network driver for its registered users (2.15) so that collaboration across a LAN was possible (or running multiple PC’s so that you could cross the track boundary of 32).

IT had a 64 track limit on a single system. You didn’t need to do any weirdness with multiple computers. I used it up until I had to switch to Renoise because I couldn’t find good DOS hardware anymore. I still miss a lot of IT’s features. In fact, the NNA loop release feature is still something that I miss.

I've seen references to this version in several modules, but can't seem to find much info about it, the one copy I could find has no documentation. The info I could find seems to suggest that it was a version that was handed out if you donated, but I can't find much info about any new features or bug fixes. Does anyone have additional information on this?

That's good to know, thanks. I'll try pre-sending my program changes and see if that tidies things up.

Does what "track" (tracker channel) a note is on make any difference to the MIDI export? I have some stuff where some instruments "track hop" in the module. Each one has its own MIDI program # & MIDI channel. So on a single track in the module you might get something like this:

C-5, MIDI program 50, channel 1
...
A#4, MIDI program 32, channel 2
...
F-4, MIDI program 50, channel 1

etc.

How does MPT export this?
I know I "should" give each MIDI channel its own tracker track, but I've converted some old sample-based modules and that's just how they were written.

(Typically I don't re-use MIDI channels for different programs doing GM. In the case of MT-32 or FB-01 modules where I only have 8 channels to work with, sometimes.)

OpenMPT only writes program change events when they are necessary. If you keep playing the same instrument on a MIDI channel, it should not send any program change events. If you want to absolutely have this program change at the start of the file, I suggest you put a silent note in the first pattern. Anything else isn't really possible with the way OpenMPT approaches MIDI export (which is essentially a live playback of the module funneled into a MID file, so it doesn't know in advance which instrument is going to play on which channel).

It's Gasoline.mod by Stamen

And quite a excellent tune...

Thanks for the reply. I've been looking for this song for a long time. I never would've guessed the name of it is "Gasoline."
