General Chatter / Re: How different is the Adlib...

Last post by minebrandon - June 07, 2025, 11:55:17

The reason why I didn't look it up (and also took so long to respond) is that I kinda just didn't know how FM synthesis worked, but cs127 gave me a VERY good explanation so:

How hard would it be for me to add it in? Like I said in Revision, I'd like to maybe learn how to code and join the OpenMPT development team, but you said it'd take about 6 years. So would it be possible for me to fork OpenMPT and add that in myself before those 6 years are up to get like a feel for the program?

Free Music Downloads / Brainbeat (Base Mix) [mp3]

I've got a few versions of this tune, every time I add to it I hate it, so this is the cut back Base mix.

Help and Questions / Re: 1.32 spacebar

That makes sense. It just took me by surprise and I freaked out. I don't change many of the keys, so I should be good now.

Indeed, in OpenMPT 1.32 the hierarchy of keyboard commands was made consistent across the board, so that a shortcut in a more specific context (such as the order list editor) always takes precedence over a shortcut in a less specific context (such as the global keys like Play/Pause). Before, it was sometimes this way around and sometimes that way around, which made things quite confusing. You may have to adapt a few shortcut configurations but it's just a one-time process and hopefully not too annoying.

Help and Questions / Re: Impulse Tracker to SPC cli...

Last post by IcarusDream - June 01, 2025, 09:33:36

bout C700, yes I know it, but I'm not a big fan of the interface, and above all, I kind of like to stay on OpenMPT for several multiple reasons (for instance, I compose music for films and games on OpenMPT, and sometimes need to convert my music on multi supports)

I also prefer Trackers and the workflow of OpenMPT in particular to traditional DAWs. OpenMPT is a powerful host for VST plugins as-well.
VST's usually have gimmicky interfaces, though generally, using them through OpenMPT isn't much different than using sample based instruments or OPL.
One thing to keep in mind is that VST's by in-large depend on MIDI commands, rather than Tracker ones, though certain tracker effects will still work with them as intended.

You can reduce some clicking by adding fade-in to the samples (if not already present). You can also use a D0F effect in the module itself for fade-out, or B9 in the volume column (dunno how well SNESMOD will work with it though).

My track already relied on module effects for fade-out. I also modified some of the samples, and while it reduced the clicking, much of it was still there.

Ok I've sorted it (I think) It was under 'Pattern Editor - Order list' as 'Stop (---) Index' which was set as Space bar. I deleted it! (no idea what that does anyway)

It may all come crashing down on me, but at least it won't delete my pattern list!

Help and Questions / 1.32 spacebar

Last post by n0cturn - June 01, 2025, 07:46:37

I use the spacebar to start and stop play (I don't know if that's standard, it's just how i've always had it) It does start and stop play, but if the mouse is over the pattern list, it deletes the pattern its over.

I couldn't find any keyboard setting specifically for the playlist. How do I stop it doing this?

By the way I auto updated from v1.31

I forgot, of course, to mention that I take care of setting sample loops to 16 multiples, otherwise you get bad clicking loops.

Interesting point, about Furnace, I'll check it out, thanks for the information ;-)

But above all, I just love working on OpenMPT more than any other DAW ;-)

I didn't expect to write a follow up the day after, but with the recent release of OpenMPT 1.32 you can now set the ppq in the c700 VST properly. Example (same old track but with midsong loop):MEGA
