# This is the configuration file for Ptmid
# Any line beginning with a crosshatch is not interpretted. Note that
# all letters are case-sensative. Changing the variable-tags could cause
# Ptmid to reject this configuration file.
#
# Below are the instrument sample mappings. Each line begins with a number
# and then a mapping onto a set of sample files. The first entry is special:
# it is labelled "def" and its sample mappings will be used for any
# instrument which is not given a sample mapping. This entry must be
# present. Other entries use the numbers 0 to 127, and represent the
# corresponding MIDI instrument (eg. 1 might represent "bright acoustic
# piano").
#
def piano.smp
#
# Below are the percussion sample mappings. Each line begins with a 'd'
# followed by a number, then a sample file to map it onto. The numbers can
# range from 0 to 127 and represent the MIDI note that when played gives
# that particular drum (eg. d36 is the note C on octave 3 and might
# represent "bass drum"). If a particular percussion instrument is not
# given, then it will be ignored.
#
d35 bdrum.smp
d36 bdrum.smp
#
# Below are given the information on the samples in the above sections.
# If a sample is given as an instrument or percussion mapping, it must be
# given an entry defining its properties.
# Each entry begins with the word "sample", then the filename for the sample
# that was used above, followed by its pitch (eg. C2, F#3) when played
# at 8287 Hz (followed by loop-start offset, and length of loop in words,
# but these are optional).
# Middle C is C2, the note a semitone up is C#2, the note a semitone
# down is B#1, etc. This system is used by most Protracker-type players
# (yes.. there IS a reason).
#
sample piano.smp C2
sample bdrum.smp C2

#
# Now come the various options that can be enabled for Ptmid..
#
# Usually the drum channel is 10, but if you want to set it to something
# different, use the following option (it will over-ride the similar
# command-line parameter).
#
# drumch 16
#
# When interpretting a MIDI-file, notes are quantized so they can easily
# be mapped onto patterns in the MOD-file. Valid quantize fractions are:
# 4, 4t, 8, 8t, 16, 16t, 32, 32t, etc.
# where "4" means quantize to quarter-notes (crotchets), "8" means
# quantize to eighth-notes (quavers), etc. If there is a "t"-suffix, then
# it means quantize to the appropriate triplet note.
# This option will be overridden by the -f parameter at the command-line.
#
# fract 16
#
# If you want to create a MOD-file with more than extended characteristics,
# and get a better conversion, then you can use the following three options
# which select the number of channels (ptchan), the maximum number of
# patterns (patmax), and the signature for that particular format (formid).
# Here are some standard combinations:
# ptchan patmax formid
# 4 64 M.K.
# 4 128 M!K!
# 6 64 6CHN
# 8 64 8CHN
# NB. ptchan has a maximum of 8 channels.
# patmax has a maximum of 128 patterns.
#
ptchan 4
patmax 64
formid M.K.
#
# Some MOD-files use an extended range of notes, but these cannot be
# played using all trackers. If you want to have an extra two octaves
# for notes, then use the "extend" option, but remember that it might
# cause incompatibilities.
#
# extend
#
# This last option is a bit strange. If the word "nocopy" is on a line
# then Ptmid will refuse to create MOD versions of MIDI files with
# copyright notices in them.
#
# nocopy
