ModPlug Tracker together with ModPlug Player, a player application evolved from a plug-in. This is being developed since 1997 and is used as a classic sample-based tracker to play and edit your track music. It is a modern DAW along with great features and plugin support. It uses features that are common to MS Windows programs including context menus, drag and drop functionality, tree views, and native look and feel.
What are the features of ModPlug Tracker?
One of the main differentiating features of ModPlug Tracker is the native Windows user interface. Almost most trackers including the newer ones like Renoise has interfaces that are modelled post the old DOS trackers including FastTracker II. This tracker supports VST plugins, samples, and OPL3 instruments. It uses features that are common to MS Windows programs.
It supports saving as well as loading of Impulse Tracker or IT, MOD, XM (Extended Module), MPTM, and S3M, imports many sample file formats and module, and support for SoundFonts and DLS banks. It was one of the primary trackers for supporting the open and edit of several tracker modules parallelly. It supports VST plugins, 127 channels/tracks, ASIO support, and VST instruments.
As there were a lot of restrictions on different mod file formats, you can save a new module format known as MPTM. It has non-standard add-ons to an older file format. You can add VST plugins to IT and XM modules, use stereo samples that were not present on an original tracker. Most of the features are removed gradually from XM and It files and also made available in MPTM files only.
libopenmpt is a cross-platform that plays a library depending on the code along with interfaces with C+, C, and other programming languages. For making sure the codebases do not get involved with Libopenmpt and ModPlug Tracker, its development happens in a code repository like OpenMPT. FFmpeg provides an optional module decoder depending on libopenmpt. These features are explained in our OpenMPT assignment help.
