Hi there,
  first post, I'm a complete newbie...

I'm currently writing a little XM player and I would like to test it using some modules. Unfortunatly in this site I can search for genre but I cannot search using more 'sophisticated' parameters. So I'm asking for your help...
Basically I need XMs that have -let's say-

• from 8 to 16 channels max
• at least one sample should be 16 bit
• some looping samples... of different loop modes
• use of volume/panning column
• NO effects (or few it's ok anyway) ... that's because I still don't support them

I'm sure you know your music so, please, link your tunes.

Thanks! Ciao!

Well, one of the best ways to test the quality of a XM engine is Letting Go by WAVE. Compare your results to XMPlay. But I see that this doesn't fit your requirements, so... well why don't you just download a few random XMs from the archives?

mmm... that's what I did first. But some had too much channels (>16), some had effects... I wasn't lucky, maybe, but I thought it was too long to find one suitable just going on downloading random modules...

Thanks

In this case, i can only advise you to
1) make some XMs yourself
2) improve your player routine

sorry, but effects are something pretty essential

About 1) : That's what I did first: I took the famous axelf.mod, loaded in MilkyTracker and saved in a XM file. This tune has no effects, no volume columns, no looping samples, no envelopes, no 16 bit samples... so I could check the very minimum of my player, and it plays ok, but it was quite easy as you can imagine
About 2) : I never ment not to support effects, it's just that I still have to try IF looping samples, 16 bit samples, volume columns are working ok or not.
It's all about making one step before the next one.
Of course -in the while- I'm writing some XM myself, but I can't call them tunes, you know

Thanks! Ciao

take a look at stuff by "robric"

they're more or less all effect-less XMs.

Checking now... it seems to me some of his XM are almost perfect for actual my needs.
Thank you very much!

Back once more asking for your help Do you remember I asked for some XMs tunes with these limits?

• from 8 to 16 channels max
• at least one sample should be 16 bit
• some looping samples... of different loop modes
• use of volume/panning column
• NO effects (or few it's ok anyway) ... that's because I still don't support them

well, now I will appreciate your help again in the search of some XMs with

• as many samples/loops/effects/vol column as it's possible
• up to 16 channels max, anyway

so that I can test my little XM Player with something 'tough' ?

Thanks again

Ciao!

Dug up a couple of 16 channel "full" modules of mine from the archive:

I hope they're tough enough and helpful for you.
