ah, that's so much better. BTW, just arrived from the Tron session (it's a miracle it opened today in Brazil). Hell of a movie. Awesome sound & production design.

Fine. Shouldn't people then start to write the songs they chose on this thread? It's like I say, "Decktronic, 'End of Line' is already taken, I assure you" ¬¬

I'll get the track "The Son of Flynn" smile

It exports as three different MED filetypes (for different versions), standard midi file, an executable or a protracker mod.
Any commands, additional block lines, or tracks that aren't included in protracker just get excluded on save.

Yeah, now I finally get it. Thanks CMDR smile

there are tons of guys like these here in sao paulo, and they're all from subway sonicbeat official fan-club.

I hope you don't mind me asking, but why open them in protracker if they open fine in octamed anyway?

Sure don't mind. As far as I know, some OctaMED commands are different than Protracker, and so mod files made in MED could have troubles with some players that were meant to play Protracker mod files.

But in fact I don't know exactly what extra features on OctaMED wouldn't allow it to export the same type of mod file as Protracker would (besides the obvious synth stuff MED has).

Smartest thing would be to start a new module in milky form scratch and keep fiddling with it until you manage to make it not load in protracker. .

Yep, I´m already doing that. I´m making some modules saving with different config settings on Milky untill I find one that can be opened with no problems on PT. Thanks a lot for your help!

Maybe the number of instruments has something to do with it? I don't know and wish I could be of some assistance.

We need a .mod guru in here!

I guess you're probably right. I only used few instruments on those tracks.

Anyway, let's hope cTrix or someone else reads this thread xD

We spent about 3 weeks trying to figure out why dispyz's datarunner .mod wasn't working for use in the tracker hero game. I remember him writing it on octamed soundstudio and throwing a rage when neither winamp or renoise would play the sound file. I asked if it worked in protracker, and when it didn't we knew something was up. I'm sure there's an easy answer but Amiga tracking and beer usually go hand-in-hand.

Anyway, I wish I had documented some of the process, but I do remember having to go into protracker and adjusting various settings which seemed to adhere to the incredibly strict rules of the .mod format. Octamed was certainly a little more lenient and opened files as .mod when others wouldn't.

Whatever it is, I'm personally convinced of there being a difference in how octamed/protracker handle .mods. Correct me if I'm wrong please!

I have a couple of .mod tunes I made last year on OctaMED 5.04 -- nothing fancy, no sample loops and only simple commands (I was beginning to learn Amiga trackers). And they work fine on PT2.3 (just tested them). 

What I roughly know about MED's commands is that most of them are pretty much the same as Protrackers commands.

I followed RG's tip and opened the files on OctaMED v5.04. Strangely (but fortunately) they opened fine! I thought I was opening the wrong .mod file on PT2.3, went to it again and it continues opening the file badly. 4mat, I was aware of the C-3/C-5 ranging and was already using it for these test files. Also, I didn't do any sample looping. I open Milkytracker, already subtract some channels so it's only 4-channel, use raw samples, put the config on Amiga linear and resampling, and save it as .mod. But I really have no clue why OctaMED opened it and PT2.3 didn't.

Anyway, it really should be good to know more about this "mod standards" RG put in question.

Does Milkytracker report any compatibility issues when you are saving your file (using notes outside of amiga range, for example)?
Also, which versions of Milky and protracker are you using?

Nope. Saves the file just fine. I'm using Milkytracker v. 0.90.85 and Protracker 2.3d.

Going to my parents home for the holidays and taking my macbook with me. Want to finish some .mod tunes started on Protracker, but something weird is going on. When I open the .mod files on Milkytracker and tweak with it, put some samples, new notes, patterns, etc. and then put the .mod back to Amiga/Protracker, it's all a mess. Every new pattern I did on Milky gets messed up. Samples get some weird noises, notes disappear from the editor lines, etc.

I made some tests, like saving the file inside milkytracker with the config options to Linear/Amiga frequencies (at Frequency Table), and Linear Interpolation/Amiga 500/1200 resampling. Everything is just the same.

I'm using raw samples for it.

Anybody can give me some light on this?
