- <I didn't have strength to include original article....>
-
- But you wrote (in essence)
-
- ....four octave samples.....
- ....don't use any OmedPro features....
-
- These two sentences are contradictory. ST format does *NOT* support any IFF
- sounds. It only supports raw samples (1 octave). The program is doing it's
- best! Also FOUR octave samples IS a OmedPRO feature: Previous MED's only
- understood 1, 3 and 5 octave sounds (a bug reported to teijo by ME).
-
- I also told teijo that I wanted a WARNING feature, telling you when your
- downwards compatibe save would cut features, such as:
-
- Warning: This song uses 1xx effects, they are removed
- Warning: This song uses IFF sounds, won't work as a ST Module
- Warning: This song uses 2,4,6,8 octave IFF sounds, will not work in older med
-
- e.t.c.
-
- I hope this will be in next release.
-
- I find that med saves ST/NT's satisfactory, and OmedPRO can LOAD 95% of the
- protracker mod's on the planet and play them correctly. I just downloaded
- TechMaru and Watch-Your-Bass_Bins, and both only needed one (the same) fix:
-
- Initial tempo was screwed coz of an invalid tempo command in the start. I
- wonder what this invalid tempo command means in ProTracker. Looks like the
- last thing Teijo has left to implement ;-) for total PT compatibility.
-
- So don't whine ;-)
-
- Actually, I am much much more intrigued by your second claim: That OmedPRO's
- own PLAYER won't play your stuff. Are you REALLY REALLY SURE? It COULD be
- the AmigaNuts that have Fucket Up. I get all my stuff Directly from Teijo,
- since I am one of his Beta testers.
-
- Cheers!
