cr1901 changed the topic of ##yamahasynths to: Channel dedicated to questions and discussion of Yamaha FM Synthesizer internals and corresponding REing. Discussion of synthesis methods similar to the Yamaha line of chips, Sound Blasters + clones, PCM chips like RF5C68, CD/floppy disk theory of operation, and the 68k CPU are also on-topic.

andlabs_: That looks like a full blown Amiga emulator for optimized for playing music?
<cr1901>
Just to be clear, "protracker files" is a synonym for "MOD" format?
<andlabs_>

<andlabs_>
but it supports a wide variety of game engines
<andlabs_>

<andlabs_>

cr1901: PT is the most common MOD variant, but there are others
<fseidel>
namely the original 15 instrument MOD (which PT is backwards compatible with) and OctaMed (8 channels, format is pretty much the same thing but extended, obviously PT can't play it though)
<fseidel>
PT == 4 channels, 31 instruments, and a specific set of effects (although a few of the more esoteric ones were changed between versions)

"did you think XM was bad? buckle up"

honestly that website has a section on why they use lha archives that makes me wonder how outdated it is
