================================================================================
List of Input File Formats in Sample Grabber PRO 2.7 (c) Jay Dee, 1994-96
================================================================================
[ XM] Fast Tracker v2.0x
Yes! Here it is - the LEADER of PC composing scene! This one is a must for
everyone! It has fileformat that is kinda difficult to handle but still it
is MEGA COOL tracker! SGPro II FULLY supports XM format - it can handle
very long samples.. actually only your computer's memory limits sample's
size!
[STM] Scream Tracker v2.x
This one was probably the first 4-channel digital music composer on the
PC and it was extremely popular at it's time..
[S3M] Scream Tracker v3.x
The new version on Scream Tracker presented a new standart of PC music in
1994 - 16 digital channels! It is still used by many cool PC composers.
[MOD] MOD Editors Family
This includes various trackers on Amiga and PC. Too many of them..
[669] Composer 669
The first 8-channel digital music composer for the PC.
[MTM] Multi Tracker
32 channels.
[LIQ] Liquid Tracker
32 channels. I have seen very few productions in this format.. Probably
i was searching for them in a wrong place? :)
[FAR] Farandole Composer
16 channels.
[DMF] X-Tracker
Extremely popular composer among PC ravers, as long almost all Radical
Rhythms productions are in this format. But as long there are no dox on
sample packing, SGPro only works with unpacked samples.
[PSM] ProTracker Studio 16
Probably i am wrong, but i used to call PSMs those song found in most EPIC
MegaGamez releases.. rather cool samples :)
[CDM] Sound Wave Pro
I don't think this composer is well known outside Russia. This is ST2.01
clone (at least the version i have, which is oooold)
[AMF] D.S.M.I.
DMP was my favourite player for a long time, till XMs came.. and AMF is
it's internal format.. some games, like Alladin PC use this format..
[ULT] Ultra Tracker
Had many changes in file format.. Is that what You wanted to hear? :)
Anyway, nice tracker for GUS.
[MDL] DigiTrakker
Nice AMIGA PROTracker-like composer environment, GUS only, kinda cool,
uses packed samples. New versions (2.99b+) are more advanced! Try 'em out!
[OKT] Oktalyzer
I never saw any OKT module.. It is VERY old, and i don't think someone
uses it now.. I had no chance to test SGPro with these..
[AMS] Velvet Studio (former Extreme's Tracker)
This tracker itself is cool, but i have never seen AMS files released..
but, i finally got my hands on some.. So - SGPro v2b4+ supports AMS
properly.. There is only one more note here: AMS's form EXTREME'S Tracker
might be processed incorrectly!
[INR] Inertia Editor
I'm not quite sure if this tracker exists :)
[WOW] MOD's Grave or Grave Composer
This is a weird file format, similar to 8-channel MOD, but with 4-channel
signature.. 100% supported since beta 4.
[DSM] D.S.I.K.
Digital Sound Interface Kit - nice module library..
[669] UNIS 669
Only know that it exists :)
[DTM] DigiTrekker
Only know that it exists :)
[DSM] Dynamic Studio Pro
Cool composing environment, but due to shareware restricts i had no chance
to use it for good.. Format supported since beta 5.
[GDM] Bells, Whistles & Sound Boards
Another cool module library.
[DPP] Purple Player
Only know that it exists :)
[DTM] Digital Tracker F030
Another one carrying DTM extension :)
[CBA] Heretics CBA
These files were found in EXPOSE music disk, and nowhere else (yet? :)
(A format created for one project? :)
[ SN] Sound Club
Cool composing environment, but no format decription and no saving :(
[PTM] Poly Tracker
Format similar to S3M, not sure that Poly Tracker was ever released to the
public (but PTM songs were! :).
[FNK] Funk Tracker
Claims to be a 'small fileformat to be used in demos'. HA-HA-HA! It is the
lamiest text-mode environment and lamiest format - i'm not sure all FNK
files will be loaded by SGPro.
[MED] MED v2.x
Only know that it exists :)
[MED] OctaMED Professional
AFAIK this one was never used on PC, so.. don't blame me for lack of
support as i never saw it, had only two files to test with, supplied by
Lookers Groop. Thanx, dudes!
[PAC] SB Studio
I only had shareware version, so had only 1 module to test with.. If
anything goes wrong don't blame me for wrong support, better send me
modules..
[AMM] Audio Manager (Platinum Player)
Nothing to say..
[ MM] MIDAS
Show me a person, who doesn't know what MIDAS is! A kinda weird sound
library, supports some fileformats, but MM modules, that are 'native' for
it are not compatible even with MIDAS (MHO)!
[AMF] ASYLUM/Origin Systems
These files were first found in Crusader: No Remorse game by Origin. Guess
Origin used it to make it impossible to rip samples from their modules..
Here You are - get Sample Grabber PRO and rip!
[PLM] Disorder Tracker v2
These files are produced by alpha version of the tracker, thus i am not
absolutely sure if SGPro will work with newer versions. Just in case it
will not - there will be an update..
[HQM] Unknown (High Quality Module?)
This file format was found in one of the weirdest archives on bbs. i
EVEN CAN'T TELL you where it is used :) but still: it exists - SGPro knows
how to treat it.
[ IT] Impulse Tracker
Very cool tracker with ST3-like composing environmnet and some of FT2-like
features. Had an EXTREMELY cool tune inside distribution package - a MUST
to hear!
[ AM] AWE Module
Never saw, only once got my hands on dox but.. had no chance to test it :(
[UNI] MikMod
MM is quite nice sound library, but i have not enough knowledge in C to
completely understand the sources, so the support might be wrong. sorry.
[SBK] SoundFont 1.00
Nothing to say here, but that the support is still buggy..
[SF2] SoundFont 2.00
Unlike the previous one this format is supported better. Enjoy cool 44kHz
16-bit samples! You no longer need Vienna Studio to rip the samples! SGPro
will find loops if they were present in SF2 file, moreover it will also
find loops where originally were no loops :) The only workaround for now
is to load sample into Fast tracker (or any other if you don't like FT :)
and disable looping.. sorry for inconvinience.
[FFF] GUS PnP patch set
For successfull processing you also need a DAT file together with the FFF.
