Hello, people! I have a doubt: I have one .xm in process at the moment (there will be more surely), has more than 80 channels. In OpenMPT goes well, as you know, but I do not know the exact compatibility with other tracker. What would be good or acceptable, once finished, to transform it to .it? I say that, because insurance has more options for listening and I have tested their support and it works well. I could serve for future works with so many channels. I don't know. If not, nothing happens. I leave it as is. Thank you!

Thanks, that helps a lot.

No problem.  Here's a few examples I see right now:

- #159 & #165 "gh-tst.xm"
- #160 & #164 "beyondthestars.xm"
- #197-205 contains 4 pairs of duplicates

For reference, song #201 "_drizzle_.mod" used to have a duplicate at #200, but now that the numbers have all increased by 1, the duplicate at #200 disappeared.  So it seems to me that the duplicates are somehow created and destroyed when the numbers shift due to other songs jumping in the list.

I've attached an Excel file as a .zip with data from 2 days ago.  I hope this helps.

Just a hint for more options: OpenMPT runs pretty well on Wine as well, in particular if you use a recent (3.0 or later) Wine version. As far as I know, Renoise provides a Linux version as well.

Hi,
Thanks for the welcoming.
I've tried plenty of them, basically the open source ones which run on linux. Schism, Milkytracker, fasttracker 2 clone, the original one and klystrack. My conclusions so far are:

Schism
I like the keyboard driven interface, I use it with a laptop so it is quite convinient. I also like it to chop samples, since it is basically numerical and I can chop interactively. I also like that once I've chopped a sample on the beat, the rest of chops are easier since I have the actual lenght of the sample. It is also easy to set the speed so that it sounds like the original.
The thing a don't like about this tracker is that I quantizes too much when live recording. I like to layout the drum live recording and that's not possible with schism, may be there's an option but I haven't found it.
I also don't like that the filter is instrument wise. I like to put a chop or a drum in each key, a la MPC, so I need different filters for each sample.

MilkyTracker.
For now the one I'm playing with. I doen't have either the quantize problem nor the filters problem. The only downfall is that is not so much keyboard driven. I miss some further information about shortcuts, since I feel there are some missing like, for example, I can browse files with (I don't remember if it is exactly this combination) Ctr+Shift+Up/Down, but i can't select a file from the keyboard, at least I haven't found the shortcut yet. I also miss a load sample shortcut and some shortcuts to chop interactively the samples. For the rest it works just fine for me.

Klystrack.
Too synthesis oriented to be a good option for me.

Fastracker 2 / clone.
Very much like milkytracker, well the other way arround, but without filters and effects AFAIK.

Well that's my current experience, I've came to a rather good work flow, but I haven't done anything too complicated yet. Any piece of advice is very welcome.

It might happen due to duplicate files being merged into one, if you could point out a concrete example it would help a lot.

Hi there.  I found 43 duplicates in the Most Revered list of 1,000 songs.  I downloaded all 1,000 of them yesterday and I've listed everything in an Excel file.  I know that the list changes frequently (perhaps even hourly) but even so, I can see duplicates.  I assume there is some bugs/glitches.  I can show you my Excel file, if that helps.

It's now on the archive for you to enjoy https://modarchive.org/module.php?185304

Welcome!
There is a wide variety of trackers out there, and a handful of them are still more or less actively developed - including OpenMPT, Schism Tracker, FastTracker 2 clone, Renoise (if you want to go less "retro" and have a more modern environment which still resembles the tracker workflow) and many others.

The links I've found on google so far are all broken
Tbc, I'm after the module.
