Hi all,
This month's CM (http://www.computermusic.co.uk/) - that's issue 113 - has a special feature about trackers. Modplug is listed amongst the top 5 (with Buzz, Renoise, reViSiT and NitroTracker - sadly no Psycle, which discredits the article a bit imho) along with this blurb (http://soal.org/expMPT/CMuk.Modplug.png).

The article also has mini interviews of the awesome Venetian Snares who "hates doing breakbeats in anything other than a tracker" and Breakage, who has "unleashed a slew of timeless classics on the drum'n'bass scene" and who "uses ModPlug Tracker to this day".
Looks like the world is on to our little secret.. :)
Would you believe it! About time. I'm glad its making a scene, maybe if theres more interest than more programmers could get involved and it might even get funding... Or should I keep dreaming?
All the respect to Modplug!
All the respect to trackers!
This is certainly nice :)
2 KrazyKatz: Its not really necessary to get funds. Programmers would be nice tho :)
Good news. And a blurb indeed.
oooh, nice!
how popular is that mag? never heard of it. tho, any exposure is good, especially in print!
but only 64 channels and 80 virtual? i dont remember it ever having as few as 80 virtual chans.
and was modplug plugin really the first? i thought it came after the player...

Yup - thus the name MOD
Plug for each of the programs. ;)
I do believe that this article goes about MODPlug Tracker 1.16 though, not the OpenMPT 1.17.
I think the text is essentially a summary of the wikipedia article on ModPlug Tracker (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modplug).
anyway "MODPLUG RULES" (as printed on the 2k6 b-s-v album) ;)
:? ...oh no....
Do any of you remember when U2 went from alternative to mainstream? Or Simple Minds. Or Talking Heads. And their latest music sucked?
I hope that doesn't happen to OpenMPT now that it's all famous.

I hate to break it to you, but this isn't the first time that MPT has appeared in "the media", or the second, or the third...
I think that as long as Modplug remains free, it wont become a mainstream mess.
If we were to slap a $200 price tag on it, well... who knows what dastardly things could become of it.
I remmember reading about Modplug in a PC magazine here in Bulgaria like 6 years ago... They said it was the "preferred tracker" of them all :wink:
