- MED2XM is a little shell utility to convert OctaMED Sound Studio modules
- (MMD1, MMD2, MMD3) to XM (FastTracker 2) modules. Usage is simple:
- at the shell prompt type
-
- med2xm <MMD file name>
-
- and the program will create a new XM module, appending ".xm" to the
- output file name.
-
-
- Limitations
-
- It can't convert a module that has
- * more than 32 channels (since this is the XM limit)
- * patterns that have more than 128 lines (same reason)
- * hold, decay
- * synthetic or hybrid instruments
- * MIDI instruments
- * multiple songs
- * other similar weirdnesses I may have forgot
-
-
- New Features in V1.3
-
- * Fixed a bug which under certain conditions caused command C64 to be
- converted to C00
- * Added PPC support!! If ppc.library can be opened, the program will
- load and execute med2xm.elf instead of the 68k code.
-
- If you find bugs or tunes that won't get converted right/at all, please
- e-mail me about them. If possible, just tell where I can find the problematic
- OctaMED module, instead of e-mailing it to me ('coz I'd probably get giga-
- bytes of them). And of course, if you think this is a brilliant utility,
- i don't mind getting some positive feedback either.
