- I. Introduction
-
- MacMikMod is a Macintosh version of MikMod, well known mod player written by
- Jean-Paul Mikkers (mikmak@stack.urc.tue.nl). MacMikMod is a freeware for non-
- commercial uses. That means, it may not be included on any CD-ROM priced
- above its cost, with the exception of AMUG BBS CD-ROMs.
-
- II. Frequently Asked Question
-
- Who am I?
- I am a student at the University of Utah majoring in Computer Engineering.
- Interested in DSP, music synthesis, real-time graphics, and network applications.
-
- The sound is coming out choppy, why?
- Your computer is probably too slow to do real-time mixing at 44kHz rate,
- you should lower the mixing rate to 22kHz.
-
- What formats does MikMod read?
- S3M - Scream Tracker 3.x/STM - Scream Tracker 2.x/MTM - MultiTracker
- XM - FastTracker II/ULT - UltraTracker/MOD - ProTracker
-
- Where to find me?
- E-Mail: Dmitry Boldyrev <demos@xmission.com>
- Phone: (801) 581-5465
-
- How does it work?
- MacMikMod, just like any other mod player deals w/ samples. First, the sample (instrument)
- is being transposed to the appropriate frequency according to the note's pitch, and then
- mixed all together and played. As you can see it can be quite a task even for a PPC chip.
-
- Why NO 68K version?
- For some reason, SndDoubleBack isn't being called on 68K computers. I don't know whose
- fault is it, maybe Apple's, maybe Metrowerk's, maybe mine. Please notify me if you had
- similar problems while working with Sound Manager.
-
- Mod places, where?
- There are many archives with mods, I suggest you check out StarTracker home
- page or MMOD home page, I have a lot of pointers to other pages. Here's a list
- of links I have on my page:
