Some advice
Posted by: Dma-Sc Mar,29.2006-11:01 

Yeah this can be really painful.

Though i don't know specificaly about Falcon, here is my advice (for .MOD files that is):

- Open and save the module (be sure to choose the .MOD extension on save) in Milkytracker (and do not replace the existing file of course ;): http://www.milkytracker.net/ It should gives you some warnings on save if some samples are too long, octaves used are too high/low, etc...
You could also do it in FastTracker2 if the PC you got handy runs DOS (either native or emulated and don't even bother with sound, you just want to open and save the file). I don't think this one gives warning but it normaly renders a compatible .MOD file (beware about the octaves though, if you still got some too high/low ones, you module may crash on the Atari tracker/replay routine).
Be sure to listen the module entirely after that tweaking, to make sure some samples which would have been too long haven't been cutted automaticaly (if you've used FT2), also if the octaves have been replaced (or not) with some MOD compatible ones, etc...

- Open the file on the Atari in Octalyser (0.96r), it should play fine if you've made the appropriate changes. Then save it.

- You should know be able to replay the tune with the Protracker based replay routine (and then probably others).

I did it this way for the Beams conversions. ;)
