XMP

NAME

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

OPTIONS

-a, --amplify factor

Amplification factor for the software mixer. Valid amplification factors range from 0 to 3. Default is 1. . Warning: higher amplification factors may cause distorted or noisy output.

-b, --bits bits

Set the software mixer resolution (8 or 16 bits). If ommited, The audio device will be opened at the highest resolution available.

-c, --stdout

Mix the module to stdout.

-D device-specific parameter

Pass a configuration parameter to the device driver. See the DEVICE DRIVER PARAMETERS section below for a list of known parameters.

-d, --driver driver

Select the output driver. If not specified, xmp will try to probe each available driver.

-F, --nofilter

Disable IT lowpass filter effect and envelopes.

-f, --frequency rate

Set the software mixer sampling rate in hertz.

--fix-sample-loop

Halve sample loop start values. Use it to work around bad conversions from 15-instrument modules and to correctly play NoisePacker v2 and certain UNIC files.

-h, --help

Show a short summary of command-line options.

-I, --instrument-path path

Set the pathname to the directory containing external samples.

-i, --interpolation type

Select interpolation type. Available types are nearest for nearest-neighbor interpolation, linear for linear interpolation, and spline for cubic spline interpolation. Default is cubic spline.

--load-only

Load module and exit.

-L, --list-formats

List supported module formats.

-l, --loop

Enable module looping.

--loop-all

Loop over the entire module list.

-M, --mute channel-list

Mute the specified channels. channel-list is a comma-separated list of decimal channel ranges. Example: 0,2-4,8-16.

-m, --mono

Force mono output (default is stereo in stereo-capable devices).

-N, --null

Load and mix module, but discard output data (same as --device=null).

--nocmd

Disable interactive commands.

-o, --output-file filename

Set the output file name when mixing to raw or WAV files. If '-' is given as the file name, the output will be sent to stdout.

--offset-bug-emulation

Emulate Protracker 2.x handling of effect 0x09 (set sample offset).

-P, --pan num

Set the percentual panning amplitude.

--probe-only

Exit after probing the audio device.

-R, --random

Play modules in random order.

-r, --reverse

Reverse left/right stereo channels.

-S, --solo channel-list

Play only the specified channels. channel-list is a comma-separated list of decimal channel ranges. Example: 0,2-4,8-16.

-s, --start pos

Start playing the module from the position pos.

-t, --time time

Specifies the maximum playing time to time seconds.

-u, --unsigned

Tell the software mixer to use unsigned samples when mixing to a file (default is signed).

--vblank

Force Amiga vblank-based timing (no CIA tempo setting).

-V, --version

Print version information.

-v, --verbose

Verbose mode (incremental). If specified more than once, the verbosity level will be increased (no messages will be displayed when the player runs in background).

-Z, --all-sequences

Play all hidden or alternative pattern sequences (subsongs) in module.

-z, --sequence num

Play hidden or alternative pattern sequence num (0 is the main sequence).

DEVICE DRIVER PARAMETERS

File output options:

-D endian=big

Generate big-endian 16-bit samples (default is the machine byte ordering).

-D endian=little

Generate little-endian 16-bit samples (default is the machine byte ordering).

ALSA driver options:

-D buffer=value

Set buffer size in ms. Default value is 250.

-D period=value

Set period time in ms. Default value is 50.

-D card=name

Choose the ALSA device to use. Default value is "default".

OSS driver options:

-D frag=num,size

Set the maximum number of fragments to num and the size of each fragment to size bytes (must be a power of two). The number and size of fragments set a tradeoff between the buffering latency and sensibility to system load. To get better synchronization, reduce the values. To avoid gaps in the sound playback, increase the values.

-D dev=device_name

Set the audio device to open. Default is /dev/dsp.

-D nosync

Don't sync the OSS audio device between modules.

BSD driver options:

-D gain=value

Set the audio gain. Valid values range from 0 to 255. The default is 128.

-D buffer=size

Set the size in bytes of the audio buffer. Default value is 32 Kb.

HP-UX and Solaris driver options:

-D gain=value

Set the audio gain. Valid values range from 0 to 255. The default is 128.

-D port={s|h|l}

Set the audio port. Valid arguments are s for the internal speaker, h for headphones and l for line out. The default is the internal speaker.

-D buffer=size

Set the size in bytes of the audio buffer. The default value is 32 Kb.

EXAMPLES

xmp -ofilename.wav module.mod

Play all XM modules in the /mod directory and all subdirectories in random order, ignoring any configuration set in the xmp.conf file:

xmp --norc -R `find /mod -name "*.xm" -print`
