New Tool (3.0): Mod / Xm Converter

tool updated, added a validation for every note inserted in order to check if is in the correct range.

Might be useful especially for mod, which has a short range of period.

1.2 released.

Added a new helper window that considerably improve the ease of use, because does the opportune conversion for portamento and volume value.

*EDIT

1.3 released, solved a bug everytime renoise starts

1.4 released.

Added Transpose features that adjust tempo according to ticks / tempo set to sequencer track simulating the mod format behavior

Look at the tutorial video on the first post

Nice going Zenon! If it wasnā€™t for the lack of vibsweep, I could see myself tracking my xm chips with Renoise. The development of milkytracker has halted unfortunately.

Xrns2XMod made compatible with 3.0

Download it here

Greetings. Seems like a great tool, is there any information on getting this running with OSX? thanks!

I think you can run it using Mono runtime.

Remember to map required dll (under lib folder) as described here.

Something like this

  
<configuration><br>
	<dllmap dll="libs\x64\bass.dll" target="bass.so"></dllmap><br>
</configuration>  
  

Then you can try to run at least xrns2xmodcmd from the command line.
Iā€™ve already had success on running it under ubuntu some years ago.

Tool was updated to version 3.

The tool was almost entirely rewritten, with a lot of features included, no more overloading notifiers, source code optimized and clean

Is this Tool available for MAC users?

The tool is just an interface to the main program which is written in .NET

Actually the main applicationā€™s binary is compiled and run only under Windows, but it might probably work well with Mac compiling with MONO; in the past I already compiled and run Xrns2XMod under Linux / Ubuntu.

Unfortunately, I donā€™t have any Mac so I canā€™t test nor compile it (unless someone with a Mac and basilar programming skill want do it)

Is this being worked on? Iā€™m getting errors that my song version is incompatible :confused:

Check the System Requirements on Xrns2Mod homepage.

Next, look at {RenoiseHomeFolder}/Resources/Schemas for the latest used schema.

Probably you are using an older or newer version of Renoise (guess the beta version?).

Ahh yes, Iā€™m on the beta. Does the stable version work with the converter?

Yes

Thanks, works now, just need to get the volumes to come out okay, they donā€™t seem to export relatively yet :slight_smile:

Talking about volume, in Renoise thereā€™s a world behind.

I suggest you to read the documentation hereand look at

Adjusting volume sample on Renoise

Default Sample volume

Global volume effects

So, looking through that, itā€™s to be assumed that the track volume can be converted? I didnā€™t notice it was properly converted on the exported xm files, does the track db volume not quite align to the xm channel volume?

Afaik, the track volume is not convertible because it doesnā€™t exists in XM.

Xrns2XMod take care of sample and instrument volume instead

Hereā€™s a test track Iā€™ve made with Renoise and converted with Xrns2Xmod

How can I preserve the timings so it doesnā€™t end up all mangled like that?

The note timing issue is due to the usage of delay column on original xrns; actually the Renoise delay column works in a different way than xm. (The latter works with ticks per line).

Iā€™m currently working on a new version that should parse the xrns delay column also, but it would be just a trick to make it fit as much as possible.

So, for the moment, what you can do is to use Qxx command instead thatis fully compatible with xm.
