Converter which takes single-channel ImpulseTracker modules as input and outputs a fSound .fss file, for use with fsound.exe. fSound is available here. This converter aims for the version called "fsound.zip". The Pytrax/impulsetracker-parser library is used and slightly modified to work with Python 3.
Improved version of: https://gist.github.com/jangler/9565970
- Squarewaves of any volume and pitch are supported.
- White Noise of any volume is supported.
- Tempo Changes are supported. (Txx with values bigger <= 20 and Axx).
- Kick and Snare Samples are supported.
- Only use an instrument setting, volume or effect along with a note, otherwise it will throw an error.
- download/clone repo
- make sure Python 3 is installed
- write your song using the test.it (follow the limits listed below)
- convert your song with
python it2fss.py test.it
-
Square Waves can be produced between C-2 and B-8 (C-1 to B-7 in fSound), using Instrument 1.
-
White Noise is always the same pitch, using Instrument 2.
-
Kick uses Instrument 3 and Snare uses Instrument 4.
-
Make sure to set an instrument for every note you put in.
-
Square and Noise have volume control. v00 is lowest, v64 is highest.
-
The values get mapped to the 16 available sound values in fSound (0-F).
-
Non-set volume gets mapped to f (loudest).
- 0.5: Massive Refactoring; added Axx support; sample-mapping via instrument, not octave; Volume is now mapped from 0-64 values, non-set-volume doesn't map to None anymore
- 0.4.1: Fixed a bug where consecutive drum notes would be combined into one
- 0.4: Added Tempo Change Support
- 0.3: Added Sample and Volume Support
- 0.2: Fixed a bug that occurred when translating a single IT note into multiple FSS notes.
- 0.1: Initial creation of program.
