Modplug needs.....

[oxxi]

hello everybody. I am avid user of modplug. I would like to see modplug have 32-bit float-point processing, a high quality filter with lowpass, highpass, bandbass etc. like renoise for example. Also maybe fix modplug's tuning and how it handles chip samples when i go to lower octaves. oh yeah, and also the ability to loop patterns. Do you guys have plans on implementing any of these features? If so, would it be difficult to put these features into modplug? I love Modplug! I like it's simplicity. That's why I don't use Renoise, I just wish it could sound like it sometimes.  javascript:emoticon(':cry:')

ModPlug's internal mixing routines work with 32-bit precision. I guess it's not floating point, but why should this not be enough for you? It would be like a complete rewrite of the engine.

a high quality filter with lowpass, highpass, bandbass etc. like renoise for example

Can be done with Plugins, e.g. Electri-Q.

Also maybe fix modplug's tuning

Sorry, my crystal ball is broken, be a bit more verbose.

how it handles chip samples when i go to lower octaves

dito.

the ability to loop patterns

. Dito. What do you mean are the "Loop pattern" in the GUI or the SBx / EBx command for?!

Also, the developer board is for ideas, discussions and official information by developers. This thread is going to be moved to the feature requests forum.

If modplug did have floating point could I tell the difference? As for the filter, I like using Modplug's filter envelope, it's more accurate than using vsts.

For the pattern loop, I was talking about looping patterns in the gui. It would be cool if there was like little check boxes above the pattern numbers, that way you could loop any patterns you want. I guess my tuning request is more of a question on how tuning works in modplug with chip samples. I'll ask about that on another thread. Just wondering...How many devs are working on openMPT in there free time?

Check the general tab -> checkbox: loop song and restart setting.

It is the GUI version of what you want. Otherwise, you can press a play button to play the pattern only, rather than the entire song.

I don't know what you're aiming for, but using the "loop pattern" checkbox on the pattern tab kinda does what do you want, and there's no other checkbox needed for other patterns as you will never reach them when you loop one You can jump to another pattern at any time.

Either put the patterns on the beginning of the song followed by a -- pattern and play the song looped while you edit it, or place a Bxx command at the last row of the second pattern to warp it back to the previous order, and remove the Bxx once you're finished.

Being able to just quickly mark a few patterns (in the playlist) and then clicking "play pattern" to play them (and loop them) is a nice request I think.

Thanks LPChip. I like that little trick. Never thought about doing it that way. Well thanks you guys for answering my questions.
