In the past when working with my own FMOD and "tiny mod player" setup, I could control the tempo(ramp it up), volume of each channel(add the electric guitars when stuff gets exciting) and had precision timing as to what song patterns to run and when, but also can send data from a row to the playback and such. In fact it barely does anything to make them more useful than a standard sound file and I'm not entirely certain it uses any less resources other than the space the asset takes up.

I've been using Tracker files for some time, before Unity was a thing even, and though I'm glad it can use them It doesn't take full advantage of the potential. I just hope they add more of the control features that makes them so powerful.
The fact that I can double click the file in unity and it opens ModPlug Tracker has been really good too. I still don't know why they don't have comparable control with it to FMOD because the feature is almost useless in Unity without some API for control and as far as I can tell the almost part is only because of the size of the files. (And for that matter: would anybody else be interested in such a thing? Unlike the built-in mod support, this would let you do things like display level indicators for each channel, easily change the volume of individual channels, etc.)ĭid everyone get burned out worrying about Tracker Music files, or is it still interesting? I hope they aren't going extinct, they are far more useful than people know it seems. but all that sounds like a fair amount of work, so I thought I'd ask here.ĭoes anybody know of any Unity (or generic C#, I suppose) code for reading these mod files, and playing them in a way that lets me get info about the event stream? And then make my own mixer code to play it. xm), dig up the spec, and write my own importer. I suppose I can pick one format (probably. I need to know how many channels there are in the file, and what each of those channels is doing. So just turning it over to FMOD to play out the speaker isn't good enough.
Yes, I'm aware that Unity has built-in support for importing Tracker Modules as audio clips.īut I'm thinking about making a rhythm game, where I need to turn the note events in the file into visual objects and game events in my game.
