A conversion of a conversion ;)
Attached to the bottom of this message is a zip file containing the mod player, bassmod.dll, a few sample mods and this source code. If you wish to compile it yourself then you'll need to create the import library for bassmod.dll (it's on the tools menu).
Also included is the dialog file (mod.dlg) used to create the skeleton code of the initial app.
You will need the latest update to compile this. (the second Alpha2 Rev 5 or greater).

A couple of more mods for the player.
Rainynit.mod (Rainynight) was one of the first MOD songs I ever heard on the Amiga. And probably what got me hooked on the format for a while.
A site with a large archive of old mods.
http://www.artificiallives.com/mods/modarch/mods/
A lot of these were from games, or graphics demos. Some won't play in modplayer...but most will.
I remember the MODs on the AMIGA! I loved them. The Amiga is my all time favorite computer. I owned an A500, A1200 and a CDTV. *Sigh* The good old days...
Ive never heard of these types of audio formats. Maybe because i didnt have an amiga. They seem a lot like Midi files though. Prety cool demo. Aurora's programs are becoming more advanced every day.
Lewis
The MOD (tracker) format contains music laid out in 'patterns' each pattern has 64 rows. Every instrument in the mod is actually a distinct and separate sound sample.
Originally showing up in demos and games it became a popular format for the techno geek to write music in. The original format was limited to 3 1/2 octives if I remember correctly. And being a geek way of making music the original editors had you enter notes in hex format ;)
It was a good format for games since you could repeat any pattern over and over again without using much disk space.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_Tracker
Wow that is super geeky. Making music in HEX. I can see how it was cool a few years ago.
Lewis
It did improve though. And there were dozens of 'tracker' programs available for making music, including one I wrote called ScoreTracker.
The format lost its popularity once the Amiga died and disk/memory space was no longer an issue. Still a very big cult following.
Its nice to see that old things are not always forgotten.
Lewis
Paul, I remember one MOD tracker program (a famous one - it's been quite awhile so I don't remember its name) that could play in 8 voices simultanously (eventually even 16 but it sounded very tinny.) What was it? OctaMod or something. Amiga was designed to only play 4 voices.
Also, since we're talking about Amiga, remember HAM (Hold and Modify Mode)? 4096 colors on screen at the same time. I remember bragging about that to my PC (and ST) using friends.
Bit before my time but i do wish i could have seen the big changes in the IT industry. Its not so "Crazy" no as it used to. I had a sega mastersystem though, and looking back at the graphics on that. Its come along way since then. Just take a look at Half-Life 2.
Lewis
I wish I was around to see all of that, but you know, someday I'll probably be talking about "Remember when we had to use Windows XP?" and how we were using only 32-bit processors, 32 bit graphics, etc. :)
I've never looked at the modplayer demo really, but it's pretty cool now that I take the time.
Well im already on the 64-Bit processor with my main machine, still 32 on the laptop. But it will be cool in about 30 years time or something when we have 10gig processors.
I remember my first PC was a 486 and it had 120mb disk space. Not sure about anything else as i didnt know anything about computers back then. Theres not a lot you can do with 120mb now. How times change.
Lewis
One of my friends has a 64 bit processor, he got it so he could have a fast gaming computer, but 32 bit games won't run all that fast on those, they have to use a kind of 32 bit emulation. I suppose it's pretty fast if he can find a 64 bit game though.
Wow! MOD files... I haven't seen them since... well, since I put my Amiga away. I remember back in the day one of the local BBS SysOps decided to have a "get together", so I took my A500 to show off. Everyone was bragging about their MIDI collections, then I hooked up my system and played this MOD http://www.modarchive.com/cgi-bin/download.cgi/R/rhy.mod - needless to say, all the PC users were impressed. Ahh the memories.
Some of the MOD's still amaze me. If you run accross GuitarSlinger.mod give it a listen ;)

Craz6, but I used to have a .MOD->.MID convertor, and would copy one instrument over to another name several times just to create a bunch of "fake" instrument names in the .mod file (temporary purposes), then compose the music on the .mod editor, convert the file to .mid and play it in Windows Media Player out to my keyboard.... Fact was I didn't care what the .mod file sounded like on the PC, I just cared what the .mid sounded like after conversion (and .mid files lost the instrument samples, so ....) This was when the only music editors I could find used CAkewalk's "Piano Roll" format editing, or WinJammer's Event Editor format (where you create an event to turn the note on at xxx:xxx:xx.xx and tell it that it'll last for xxx:xx.xx, then turn the note off later on, etc... Neither was really my cup of tea, and the DOS based MODEDIT seemed more powerfull , and Free.... My favorite two ways! So I used the MODEDITOR as a MIDIEditor with a middleman (mod2midi) ....
The exe runs fine, but when I went to compile it from the source, it couldn't find the lib file?
Tools->Create Import Library.
Same as using any other DLL.
