In Response To: Re: Speaking of MIDIs... (Forrest of B.org)

: I've personally always been sad that some MOD-type format (perhaps something
: more standard, based off of MIDI) never took off. MOD, for those who don't
: know, was multitrack music like a MIDI file, basically "digital sheet
: music" that just says what notes to play with what instruments when,
: for how long, how loud, etc... but unlike MIDI, MOD had embedded
: instrument samples in the file. That way MOD files aren't dependant on you
: having an appropriately instrument set with your player; the player just
: plays the instruments built into the file when the music tracks in the
: same file tell it to.

: By analogy, MIDI is like an HTML file marking where to put a bunch of JPEGs,
: and presuming you have all the right JPEGs to make the site look right...
: while MOD is the HTML file, WITH the JPEGs included. Which one makes more
: sense, really?

I seem to recall that MOD music was all the rage for half a decade once, when my friends and I were spending days on end fiddling with PlayerPRO. Heaps upon heaps of MOD files were included on every CD that came with the Mac magazines. That's what I call taking off ^^
