- Description:
-
- This package consists of three applications and a directory of example
- sound samples. The applications are:
-
- AMFTrack 1.10 18/02/92 A.M.Flintham - Create Tracker files
- GetSTmod 2.03 20/07/91 M.Farrow - Convert between Tracker and Soundtracker
- STtoRhap 1.00 18/03/91 M.D.George - Soundtracker to Rhapsody conversion
-
- AMFTracker is a music editor that allows the creation of Tracker files.
- These are commonly to be found in Public Domain Libraries,and provide
- the music for most demos. Tracker files have a filetype of CB6 and are
- not to be confused with the older format, SoundTracker files, which
- AMFTracker cannot edit, but can be converted using M.Farrows !GetSTMod.
- There are many Public Domain players that have been written to play
- SoundTracker/Tracker files, of these, the AMFsoft !STracker is
- recommended as it allows the saving of Tracker samples.
-
- GetSTMod is intended to allow the easy conversion between Tracker and
- Amiga Soundtracker format music modules on the desktop. To convert a
- module, drag it from the filer window (or another application) onto the
- !GetSTMod icon or the status window, and it will be loaded, and its
- format automatically detected. If a tracker module is dragged on, there
- is an option on the save submenu to save the tune as 'patterns'. This
- is intended for use with soundtracker playback programs which use
- stripped modules, and the difference is that the samples are not saved
- on the end of the pattern data as normal.
-
- STtoRhap takes a SoundTracker Module or Song and generates a Rhapsody
- format file. The conversion process is geared towards the use of the
- Rhapsody file via MIDI, and the current version is tailored for the
- requirements of the author's own MIDI equipment (Yamaha PSR-48). This
- primarily affects the handling of Percussion/Rhythm instruments. The
- Yamaha allocates a single MIDI channel for reception of all Rhythm data
- with the pitch of the received note determining the instrument.
