ModExtract

This is a small, crude, C program which will extract the samples from a sountracker MOD file and save them as 16 bit mono WAV files.

It has many many limitations:

• It only supports basic soundtracker files with 31 samples (not the older 15 sample variant)
• It doesn't detect any internal sample formats and assumes all samples are raw data

Of course being an 8 bit format the samples in a MOD file are pretty crude quality and the results are no better than the original even when "upsampled" to 16 bit.

Usage

$ modextract [-r rate] mod.filename

By default it creates WAV files with 11025hz sample rate. You can specify your own with the -r flag.

$ modextract -r 8287 mod.filename

All samples are extracted to the samples folder in the current directory, inside a sub-folder named after the name of the module (as gathered from the module header structure).

Samples are accompanied by a small text file describing the sample (loop start/end, etc).

Building

There are no dependencies or requirements. Just run:

$ make

Then to install in /usr/local/bin:

$ sudo make install

If you want to install elsewhere (~/bin/ for example) just copy modextract to there.

$ cp modexract ~/bin/
