Libopenmpt is a cross-platform module playing library based on the OpenMPT code with interfaces for C, C++ and other programming languages. Many of these features have gradually been removed from IT and XM files and made available only in MPTM files. For example, one can use stereo samples or add VST Plugins to XM and IT modules, which were not supported in the original trackers. OpenMPT introduced some non-standard additions to the older file formats.

MPTM file format ĭue to limitations of the various mod file formats it is able to save, a new module format called MPTM was created in 2007. OpenMPT supports up to 127 tracks/channels, VST Plugins, VST instruments and has ASIO support. OpenMPT was also one of the first trackers to support opening and editing of multiple tracker modules in parallel. It supports both loading and saving of IT ( Impulse Tracker), XM ( FastTracker Extended Module), MOD ( ProTracker and similar), S3M ( Scream Tracker 3) and MPTM (its own file format) files, imports many more module and sample file formats, and has some support for DLS banks and SoundFonts.

#MOD XM S3M OPENMTP WINDOWS#

OpenMPT makes use of features common to Microsoft Windows programs, such as context menus for effect selection, 'tree' views (for files, samples, and patterns), drag and drop functionality throughout, and the native look and feel of the Windows platform. It supports samples, VST plugins and OP元 instruments as sound sources. Most trackers, even newer ones such as Renoise, have interfaces modelled after the older DOS trackers such as FastTracker II. OpenMPT's main distinguishing feature is its native Windows user interface. For this purpose, OpenMPT provides its own plugin bridge, which can be used to run plugins with a different bitness than the host in a separate process, or to run plugin in a sandbox and prevent them from crashing the host application. This allows musicians to use 64-bit VST plugins and make use of the entire physical memory on 64-bit systems.

Since OpenMPT 1.23 (March 2014), OpenMPT is also available as a 64-bit application. Until May 2009 (v1.17.02.53) OpenMPT was licensed under the Copyleft GPL-2.0-or-later and then relicensed under the terms of the permissive BSD-3-Clause.

#MOD XM S3M OPENMTP SOFTWARE#

OpenMPT is distributed as free software and is, as of May 2020, under active development. Also based on the ModPlug code is OpenMPT's 'sister project' Schism Tracker which contributed several backports of bugfixes to OpenMPT. Lapicque's MPT code was taken up by a group of tracker musicians/programmers and is now known as OpenMPT. The ModPlug Player source code is still closed as of May 2020. ĭue to lack of time, Olivier Lapicque discontinued development of ModPlug Tracker itself, and in January 2004, he released the entire source code under an open-source license. Today, libmodplug is included in many Linux distributions as a default audio plugin for playing module files and is a part of the popular open source multimedia framework gstreamer. This project lay dormant from late 2003 until early 2006, when it was picked up again. In 2001, the source code was released in the public domain, and the mod-playing code was split off into a separate library, libmodplug, maintained as part of the ModPlug XMMS Plugin project. In December 1999, Olivier Lapicque sent the module-playing parts of ModPlug Tracker's source code to Kenton Varda, under the GPL-2.0-or-later, to write a plugin for XMMS based on the code. ModPlug Tracker, along with a player application named ModPlug Player, evolved from this plug-in.

OpenMPT was initially developed as a browser plug-in called MOD Plugin, which enabled users to play music and other sounds encoded in module files.
