Audio > Visual s3m Composer?

#80076 - thegamefreak0134 - Tue Apr 18, 2006 5:22 pm

Is there a program that will let me compose a .s3m file using a visual editor? (Like noteworthy composer, or finale) I realise how flexible modplug tracker is, but I just don't like to have to punch stuff in by numbers, as I get lost to easily. I need to be able to see the notes to make any sense out of a song.

Thanks!

Tried. Works like a four letter word I probably shouldn't say. I need to be able to use all of the features (well, at least the sample changing parts) relatively easily wthin the staves. Having it actually detect the note durations properly wouldn't hurt either.

I hear that FineMidi is a very good converter to s3m, so if you prefer to work with midi - try it out.:

Wow, a french site. Interesting... I hope the program is in english. That's all I speak!

*After Examination*

Um, I'm runnning windows XP and it says something to the effect that it won't run the file. Oh well.

if you work with NT4/2k/XP, you need a program like DOSBox (at http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/).
