Add an instrument

[Faded Rose]

Hello !

First: I'm sorry for some errors, I'm french.

I downloaded ModPlug Tracker yesterday and tried to play some notes, i opened examples... Modify the pattern for change the music.
But, when i want create my new MPT module, i create one, and after:

• I cant add an instrument from the GM.DLS, Hand Clap(D#3)
• Can only add instruments from the examples
• Cant add samples from the MIDI Library
• And cant found the instrument Library, i'm using Windows 8. MPT show a folder and his name is Instrument Library (C:\Users\admin\Documents\), the folder for instruments isn't here, there is only the module1.it

If you can help me, thanks !

You can put new samples whereever you want, "C:\Users\admin\Documents\" in particular is a pretty bad folder (it's just a default to have at least some writable folder). You may want to put a dedicated folder for samples somewhere on your hard drive, and then set up the sample/instrument paths to point to that folder.
Note that you can also open the "Instrument Library " folder in OpenMPT's tree view and navigate to some other folder there, or double-click the "C:\Users\admin\Documents\" item in the lower part of the tree view to navigate.

And how add an instrument like the hand clap ?

I dont have any specials samples, i just want to try to make a music a music with the basic sounds, but cant add basic samples and instruments of MPT.

With the tree view i can navigate but didn't find any instruments, i tried the folder of MPT, in C:\users\admin\Documents. I tried too a research with windows "Instruments Library", "GM.DLS", and didnt find any informations or instruments folder...

And if you ever want to escape those low-quality default MIDI samples that ship with Windows, be sure to check out the "Web Resources" link in the Help menu of OpenMPT.
