Anyone who has ever looked into SNES Music creation has heard of MML and usually Addmusic for the Super Mario World ROM hacking scene. Well, someone created a neat little Python script that will take your specially crafted IT module into an SPC with ADSR envelopes, noise generation, pitch modulation and so on. I've been using it quite a bit lately and I love it. Came out some time last year and it requires no knowledge of MML to use it, but it helps a tiny bit for some other types of effects, like tone portamento.

Example SPC files with ADSR envelope settings done in the instrument/filename boxes, echo and so on:

They might have a small delay. This can be fixed by loading up the Super Mario World ROM it needs to convert music into an emulator )like SNES9x, ZSNES, etc.) and re-capture the SPC for it to trim the starting delay. Still, the ADSR envelopes allow for greater control without having to worry about the rather glitchy GAIN. I know that SNESMOD now has ADSR, but from the last time I looked at it, it was rather confusing on how to implement it and it was done on a per channel basis instead of per instrument. This might help. If you've used XMSNES, you can take the FIR filter values you used, either from an old copy of C700 or that you would craft on your own, and use them the same way here (just the FIR values, though).
Bope this helps folks looking for SNES music that can be tracked with ADSR and with all the effects one could need. If you need more info on noise and pitch mod, simply check the readme's IT2AMK comes with and it's example IT/SPC files to gain some understanding of how they work.
EDIT:
By the way, just like with XMSNES and SNESMOD, you have to use this in the command-line. It is rather easy though. After you add your IT to the Addmusic_list.txt, simply type:
it2amk name_of_module
Do not add .it at the end as it won't work properly. Just the file name without the extension. Hope that helps! Be sure to check out the it2amk_readme_files folder for all relevant info you'll need.
