*.MOD player for Macintosh SE?
Posted by: johny8 on 2017-12-20 11:05:33
Hi.

My friend has just bought the SE.

I know it has 1 hardware channel of sound, 22khz.

Still, it has a pretty fast Motorola CPU, so the software-mixing is more than doable.

Hence my question - is there any Amiga *.mod player for the stock Mac SE?

Regards,

J8

PS: I don't suppose there would be also a music editor for mod-making on SE...?

If my memory serves me right, SoundTracker was the program of choice, but forget being able to play MODs on a stock SE, you need slightly more grunt to handle playback.  The Amiga 500 handled sound processing off-chip and does a considerably better job at this, at the same CPU speed.  Might be best to export the MOD file into an AIFF to play through SoundEdit on the Mac.
