Version 2.0.4
OVERVIEW
This is the Extended Module Player, an open source module player for UNIX
distributed under the terms of the GNU GPL. xmp currently runs on several
platforms, including Linux with ALSA and OSS, SunOS, NetBSD, HP-UX, OS/2,
FreeBSD and Solaris. On PC class machines with GUS or AWE cards xmp takes
advantage of the OSS sequencer to play modules with virtually no system
load. Using software mixing, xmp plays at rates up to 48 kHz with 32 bit
linear interpolation.
Modules compressed with gzip, bzip2, compress, MMCMP, Powerpack, SQSH or
ADPCM encoded samples (used in MDZ files) are handled transparently, and
the first file in a zip or lha archive will be played (the zip unpacker
skips files with non-module suffixes like .com, .exe, .diz or .txt common
in DOS archives). Some loaders (mostly packed mods) check the file size
before playing so they will not recognize modules inside a multi-file zip
or lha archive.
Impulse Tracker filter envelopes and Imago Orpheus chorus/reverb effects
are now supported using AWE cards with the OSS sequencer. Many thanks to
Davi Lima for donating us an AWE card!
The latest version is available at http://xmp.helllabs.org. Please send
bug reports to xmp-bugs@helllabs.org. Patches, comments and suggestions
are welcome.
The following modules can be found in modules/ directory:
"Alloy Run" by Void/Reality, original C64 version by Maniacs of Noise
"Fourth Symmetriad" IT module by Skaven (makes extensive use of filters)
"Fairlight" powerpacked NoisePacker v2 module by Zoef/FLT
"First Adlib Attempt" Adlib S3M by Skaven/FC (uses YM3812 synth)
SUPPORTED FORMATS
xmp 2.0 tries to accurately emulate Protracker, Fast Tracker II, Scream
Tracker 3 and Impulse Tracker event handling algorithms to play M.K., XM,
S3M and IT modules. By default, Sound/Noise/Protracker modules are played
in Protracker 3.15 style and multichannel mutations in Fast Tracker II
style -- see doc/README.trackers for details. Multifile formats must have
all files in the same directory (ALM, Protracker songs, Startrekker AM).
