Free Music Downloads / Re: ЯoTaToR [mp3]

Well at least one person listened, a couple more and I'll be well on the way to an all time record! lol.

Why do we make music?... Been asking myself that quite a lot lately, and came to the conclusion that I need to do something else for a while, like painting, no mona lisa, just windows, doors and a whole staircase! so I may be gone some time.

Sorry for necroposting, have you been successful with Classic Color Panel? I didn't get it to make a proper dark mode. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

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

Last post by Saga Musix - May 14, 2025, 12:37:37

The difference between OPL and OPN chips are well-documented and can be looked up easily. The most relevant difference is that the OPN supports more algorithms (i.e. how the operators in each patch are combined with each other), which is the main thing that influences the sonic possibilities of different FM synths (the other being being the available operator waveforms). Additionally the S3M format only supports 2-op patches, further reducing the sonic possibilities.

OpenMPT is not, and never will be, a chip tracker. OPL support exists out of necessity, and emulation of other FM chips will not happen. If you need that, use a VST plugin for emulating a specific chip (ADLplug comes to mind), or use a dedicated chip tracker such as Furnace.

General Chatter / How different is the Adlib and...

Last post by minebrandon - May 14, 2025, 06:10:23

Sorry if this is in the wrong thread, but I know the Adlib and Sega Genesis both use Yamaha chips, and to me they sound really similar, but how different are they actually? Like I asked one of my friends who uses furnace a lot and likes Sonic if there could be 1:1 recreations of Sonic songs in s3m, and they said no because it's different and I asked them to elaborate and they said they didn't know enough to tell me how. So like how's it different, and with how much work has been put into Adlib emulation, how much pain would it be for someone to extract out Genesis emulation from OpenMPT too?

Development Corner / Re: Open ModPlug Player

Last post by sunshine - May 11, 2025, 22:19:46

I have moved the Spectrum Analyzer, VU Meter, and Gradient Editor components to the AndromedaSignalLab project. This change will not affect ModPlug Player, but these components will gradually be developed into standard C++ libraries. I also plan to create VST plugins based on these libraries in the future.

Additionally, a music player similar to Winamp will be built using these components. It will share most of its codebase with ModPlug Player, ensuring a consistent architecture and easier maintenance. However, my top priority remains the development of ModPlug Player, and work on the new player will begin after the first beta release of ModPlug Player.

The Spectrum Analyzer will be compatible with both ANSI and ISO standards.

These libraries form the core components of ModPlug Player, and further development is ongoing.

In the future, AndromedaSignalLab will support more frameworks besides Qt. Like ModPlug Player, AndromedaSignalLab will remain free and open source forever.

I check back here regularly, It's nice to see updates. I'm so busy at work that when I get a day off I'm not motivated to do anything. I still have a few programming projects stuck at 90%+ completion. Unfortunately my programming skill are mediocre and the language I use can be powerful but has not had an update since it was moved to the Steam platform. It a Basic/ inline C++ to C++ compiler allowing you to create EXEs or HTML5 through Emscripten etc.Even there forum has died off since new year.

Anyhow I look forward to your Alpha 6.

Thank you for your kind words.

This project is open-source and free for everyone. It belongs to everybody, and anyone is welcome to use it freely as if it were their own. The goal is to keep it open-source and free forever; that will never change.

Right now, I'm continuing work on the alpha versions of ModPlug Player, with the goal of eventually reaching the first beta release. Contributions will be welcome after the first beta version is released, once the codebase is more stable and ready for collaborative development.

I believe in the power of open collaboration, and this project will always remain accessible for anyone who wants to contribute or build something on top of it.

I'm really glad to hear you're looking forward to Alpha 6. Thanks again for your support.

Free Music Downloads / [Sentimental] Memories (.it)

Last post by cubes - May 09, 2025, 03:40:02

A track that hopefully will evoke nostalgic, sentimental feelings. The first track I've made in OpenMPT that sounds like a real, solid song.

Two tracks in one:
Train on the horizon - It may have an "oriental" sound to it.(it does)
Youth - May be reminiscent of the style of ~2010 pop hits but only in a good way

----------------------

Please let me know what you think; I would really appreciate it. I'm especially looking for tips on making songs with more substantial middle (chorus) sections. Most of the songs I've made so far build up a little, enter the chorus, and then quickly fade out.

This comes from the end bit of 'lost contact', the only bit of that tune I can stand.

By they way, the mptm files for all the tunes I've posted are available (just ask) you will need a bunch of plugins though.
